I'm guessing they won't be making nearly as many of these as regular Jack Joker. They must have produced record amounts of him due to fan base and the amount of overpriced customs that were sold over the years.

It will be interesting to see if in a years time and you are right with your estimations, on how mad the scrabble will be for people who original missed out.
 
It may be a peg warmer for all I know. I've seen maybe two custom Mime Jokers come and go so it's hard to say. He also could be one of those niche sleeper figures that HT makes a small amount of that a year or two later collectors are trying to hunt down.

For me this was bought the minute it went up. Just one though, not four like the regular. :D
 
Speaking of which, I saw your ebay listing for both Keats and Jack. Are those your seconds or thirds? :lol

:lol Somebody else thought those were mine also, but the turkey who put that ad up stole my display pic.

My four Jokers and three Bats are safe at home. :D
 
I'm sure Hot Toys produced low numbers of Uncle Bingo since there is very little demand for him. There are two types of people buying this. Die hard 89 Batman fans and people who are completionist on the "DX" line of figures.

My prediction is that it will take awhile for bigger online retailers like Sideshow and BBTS to sell out of their stock. Once they do he will be hard to come by, but because the demand isn't really there, when he does pop up he won't go for much more than retail anyway.

Wrong.

There are three types...your two and those who are ardent '89 BATMAN fans and that are also completists on the DX range.

No, four....General BATMAN completists (not necessarily just the '89 version).

NOO...five!!! General BATMAN completists that are completists DXers too!

NOOO! SIX!!!! The non BATMAN fans that are Jack Nicholson completists!

Holy CRAP!!! Seven! Non BATMAN fans that are Jack Nicholson completists and also DX completists too!

Yep I also ordered him as soon as I could. So poor Uncle Bingo will be outnumbered by regular Joker, :( :lol.

It will be interesting to see if he goes the way that Bane did, which I think he will.
 
Lol how did so many people sleep on bane anyway

He's a great figure, but in all honesty, it doesn't do anything for me. He just... Stands there. I haven't touched him since I got him.

My Nicholson Joker? There's an infinity of poses you can do with him and he will never look dull, he shines on my display and people compliment him SO much! When they see Bane, it's like: is that the guy with the speech impediment?

Idk, that's just my experience with him. YMMV.

That's funny, I like '89 more than Nolan stuff but it is the exact opposite for me. I like Bane a lot and I've only touched Jack about twice in a year

Word.

Nicholson Joker> Hardy Bane

People are always talking about Jack in my collection. Except for the kids, for some reason they are obssessed with the Jason figures. :lol

I'd probably enjoy having Bane in my collection actually, trying to do the voice and so on. Not collecting Nolan stuff anymore though.

On the other hand Nicholson's Joker, I too just pic one look and one pose and leave it like that for months. I find the loose ankles too much of a...Bane...to really enjoy reposing him.

Just stands there? Lol well he def doesnt have the pose capablity of jack but bane looks boss man. Hes def a bad *** fig. I dont think you can really compare them though cause jacks joker is so iconic.

That's easy to fix. Just put a few coats of nail polish on the ball joints of the ankle.
