1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 249 - The Joker (Bank Robber Version 2.0) - 1/6 - TF Exclusive 2014

Thanks man

Also, the joints on my brj 2.0 body are getting loose (used it heavily for stop motion). What would make a good substitute body?

Loose joints are easy to fix, without the need for buying a brand new body. Which joints are they?

Ball-and-socket joints (ankles, shoulders, etc.) can be made tighter by applying one or more layers of nail polish to the ball, so it fits in the socket tighter.

Knee and elbow joints can be made tighter by applying a dab of superglue in between the moving parts and then sliding the joint back and forth until it sets. This way, the glue is distributed enough so that its presence creates friction, but doesn't actually glue separate components together.

Ankles and knees.

Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks for the insight bud!

When are they going to put this on sale. This figure is way overpriced. When it comes down in price I'm all over it but for now. I will just wait.

They're going to wait it out for a while. If this is still in stock mid next year, then I'm expecting discounts at this point.

I just went to ebay... paid $210 shipped so not bad.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

$210 shipped is a great price. Congrats.

It'll kill HT/SS to discount this for less than $250, but hey, whatcha gonna do?

 

[dominishin]

Thanks, just watch for them deals. Had my ebay open for a few weeks refreshing "hot toys bank robber" search.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Very nice!

If anything, I'm waiting for Purple-Suited Ledger Joker V.32.

 

[franpincho]

Would much rather get Tonto at FULL price than this at a discount.

Somehow I knew that this figure would sell poorly, but I never thought its value would plummet to soon.

Somehow this should tell HT something.

There were loads of discounted HT figures on SSC's site during Spooktacular and Black Friday. I'm thinking HT's business model may have changed from what it was in the past, where you still saw some unpopular HT figures that got clearanced (like Ganado Chainsaw figure and Two Face). Now, they seem to pump out relatively unpopular figures in much higher quantities than they warrant. Sometimes it's a roll of the dice as to what will sell, but I think most reasonable collectors anticipated this would happen with the Bank Robber figure.

Interesting to compare this with the Python Iron Man. Both were exclusives from the same toy fairs, presumably produced in the same numbers. Python sold out in days. Bank Robber Joker still hangs around on their website, waiting to be heavily discounted in order to entice people to buy.

There were never doubters about the look of this figure. Only the price.

I agree with this. Now with Blackhole Stormie EX selling out fast, I think HT's found a new franchise to get event exclusives from, along with Iron Man, and maybe replacing the TDK franchise. The only TDK figure that I can see selling well EX or not is Ra's, and IMO HT should go over whatever's causing that delay fast while some people are still waiting for it in spite of the many 3rd party Ra's that have come out.

yup even the phython just repaint of the mark VII, bank robber has the original version plus lot of custom like asmus doing the set of bank robber joker maybe that's one of the reason why this figure not selling out. about the ra's i hope HT will not making as an exclusive, its good for their business and good for all collectors who got into TDK line

Such a nice simple figure. So glad I waited for this one, instead of going for a kitbash...
