Hot Toy DX08 - BATMAN - The Joker (Jack Nicholson) - Specs & Pics

Yeah, shame the hat hasn't been fixed.. ah well.

When a figure is as phenomenal as this guy, you can make a couple of concessions..

 

[S. Griffin]

That's still the prototype. To be honest, for all we know the hat has been fixed and several production samples are sitting on somebody's desk in Hong Kong. However, to be on the safe side, complain about the hat...to Hot Toys (via email or facebook or whatever). Don't let them think everything is perfect and get complacent.

 

[Maglor]

If you don't like the hat... make one yourself... or order a custom.

I'd rather they just make the easy fix since it's the most expensive DX so far.

Indeed. If I have to order a custom I will. But I won't be happy about it!

 

[S. Griffin]

You've concurred with two essentially conflicting posts or just the lower one?

 

[Maglor]

Both.

"If I have to order a custom [hat] I will. But I won't be happy about it!"

 

[S. Griffin]

I find concurring with both to kind of weird, but hey, don't let me stop another guy from being weird on the internet. If you can't do it here, there's no hope for humanity.

 

[Maglor]

I don't mind being weird, but let me clarify:

I agree with Cocoboloboy. Hot Toys should fix the hat since it would be easy to do. And I agree with you that people should let Hot Toys know that they aren't happy with the proto hat (although I don't do Facebook).


However, worst case scenario: they don't fix the hat = I buy a custom hat.


Savy?

Mag made sense to me

 

[Maglor]

Guess we're both weird.

 

[S. Griffin]

Mag made sense to me

Well he does now. I think things would have made more sense without the "indeed," and just the meat of the rest of the post. But ____ it. We're totally savy, and I concur with all six of you.

Currently, it reminds me more of a porkpie hat, while it seemed like the original was more of a wide brimmed fedora.

 

[S. Griffin]

I think that might have been implied once or twice, but I can't recall anyone saying that outright, so...nail hit on head.

 

[batfan08]

I'm kind of curious why they always use felt, couldn't they use fabric with a plastic inner lining to maintain the shape? The actual hat looked like satin IMO.

Maybe the brim thickness would look out of scale?

And come on...satin for $300? Pffft.

 

[batfan08]

Is Satin too expensive or too cheap for $300?

 

[S. Griffin]

For $300 it should be gold thread woven into fabric and dyed purple.

And come on...satin for $300? Pffft.

Seriously, I don't know if the actual hat was felt or satin or what, but that was my tongue-in-cheek and/or sarcastic way of saying that they should be able to afford satin for what we're paying.

 

[batfan08]

I just want an accurate hat, I don't care if It's made of horse meat as long as it looks good.lol

No hat = no sale.
