so I finally can try to pose the Joker as seen in the iconic museum scene... I received the custom head, once painted.

Here I leave two quick photos, but I feel this head (and the different tie) was something Hot Toys should have done!!

What’s up with his eyes? Something looks odd

 

[RIDDICK]

They're closed. I don't like that either.
Open mouth laugh looks awesome tho.

What's the story here, especially with Joker's stylized face? I know MPC actually released the GCPD Car / Joker's Goon Car model kit set.

It is a scene specific look, I guess. That's why the eyes are closed. Very expressive IMHO.

Anyone know where i can get the orange shirt? The seem on the right arm of mine is coming away from the torso.

My understanding is that's the official box art for Round 2's upcoming rerelease of the GCPD/Joker Goon Car with a resin Joker under the MPC brand. What I believe, is that their resin Joker figure, which likely doesn't have Jack Nicholson's likeness due to $$, was not finished so some putz grabbed a pic of the Hot Toys figure, shopped it in badly, and redid the face, because they don't have the rights to Jack's face; they also probably hope that nobody at Hot Toys would notice and that the 40-70 years old male demographic of model car builders that they primarily cater to, won't recognize the Joker on the box.

I know, but it's a blink of an eye scene.
It just looks wierd with fully closed eyes.

Thanks, makes sense!

wow !!! never seen it before ! very impressive, "i don't know if it's art but i like it!" PLEASE tell us more about that custom sculpt and paint !!!
i love so much that dx08 joker that i already have 3 version of it, but i 'm ready to go for four with this custom sculpt ... very iconic !!!!

Hi! thanks for the nice words. This head, in hand, is really astonishing.

The sculpt was made by caine, you can find him on Instagram: @caine_productions

Paint and retouches to the head were made by @carlos.j.g._art

The beret and the tie were the first thing I got via these forums, years ago.... I cannot tell you were they come from. I believe the user is not active anymore...

All in all, it took me some time, but I found an alternative sculpt that I love for the DX08. I love the three Joker sculpts I got: mime Joker, DX08, and this alternative look for the DX08 standard head.

Ok thank you for your infos. Very nice. I agree with you hot toys should have done that version!!! That custom "boo" laugh sculpt is great.

 

[naranja amor]

Considering it's the joker and a version that's only been made by HT and Kenner 30 years ago, it's not surprising, imo. It's not like HT or other companies are going to make another Jack Joker, unfortunately.

Yeah I think you are right. We wont be getting another Jack Joker anytime soon, plus the DX08 is such a great piece.
