Hot Toys 1/6th scale The JOKER Photo thread

[CristiMAN]

I have one in the box, I do agree that pics dont make this figure justice. But still I would prefer it looking a litle more like in this picture. Never in the film is the joker with the face paint so nice. It's sloppy and hard contrast. Black in the eyes (not shadow), white face and sloppy red in the lips. And in the interrogation its smeared, but stil more present that the final product. I might give a try in a custom touch. Any tips?

 

[Spliff]

it looks clean because they based the picture off of promo pics, not movie stills.

But those eyes are just too soft. It's black "panda eyes". Not a soft shadow around the eyes. The sculp is really good, but in the end it seem it could be perfect. But it isn't. It's really good, dont get me wrong, but it seem it could be sooooo easy to better the final product. Mine its still in the box, because I'm still solving the buy with the seller... I cant wait to open it!

Looking at Les' paint it scream Interrogation Scene Joker to me. So I just got the bare essentials to create that look and save money by not getting the HS or the Jackets and accessories, not to mention I have True Type hands already that I can paint with white to simulate the facepaint.

If I recall correctly, the few times we see his ungloved hands, he doesn't have makeup on them.

 

[laudanum09]

yes he does. his hands are pretty consistently smudged up with paint.

No, he does.

I gurantee it.

I can agree with that. But how he has bits of blue on them I really don't know.

About the paint in Joker's hands...

You can see the smudges of black and the sparks of White. They are located on his fingertips as if he just applied them.

This picture always reminds me of my cat!

 

[NewGoblin23]

Nope. I promise I'll be the first to eat crow once I get it in hand if it changes my mind. Right now, it's just going to be a suit on a body for me.

Ill admit, I dont like the headsculpt either. You are not alone lol

 

[ffejeromdiks]

It's probably just from him putting the makeup on his face-o

Any word from Toys2.net when they're shipping the first batch?

Maulfan has been contacted and his is on its way, no such luck for me.

Could it be because we've seen a number of great custom HS from the likes of Chris Howes and Les Walker - both of which look far better than the HT version?

I still love and will keep my HT Joker, though

But I also can't wait for my Chris Howes version

OK, that's the end of my bi-polar episode for the day.

About the make-up...

Heath Ledger’s make-up artist, John Caglione, Jr., calls the application of the actor’s make-up “a dance.” He describes, “Heath would scrunch up his face in specific expressions, raising his forehead and squinting his eyes, and I would paint on the white over his facial contortions. This technique created textures and expressions that just painting the face a flat white would not. Then I used black make-up around Heath’s eyes while he held them closed very tight, which created consistent facial textures. After the black was on, I sprayed water over his eyes, and he would squeeze his eyes and shake his head, and all that black drippy, smudgy stuff would happen."

If only we could get our figures to squint their faces so we could paint them properly.

Like others, while waiting for my Hot Toys Joker I decided to repaint my recently received MM Joker.
