Feels like 2008/2009 again. I've been here before.

"Hello, boys. Want to see my other scars?"

I've seen good repaint s of that one too! It's not ledger accurate, but still looks extremely good with the right paint job. Somebody post pics if you seen em.

And so it begins! hahaha

 

[Unclechopchop]

Wait a minute! That's not the Medicom bath coat!!

As good as DC direct sculpt is, it needs too much work, imo.

 

[a-dev]

Wow, those are a blast from the not-so-distant past.

Not too far from the DX11 coat

 

[Unclechopchop]

Not too far from the DX11 coat

Agreed. I keep lookin at mine and just shake my head. Why couldn't they have used the dx01 material with the dx11 tailoring? It really rubs me the wrong way. But then again, it should rub me the right way when I get out of the shower! Hahaha

Holy jeebs! That's just scary.

 

[Unclechopchop]

But it's got rooted hair!!

How does that get produced in 2014? Heck even 2008.

It's stuff like that that really makes you appreciate stock HT offerings. It's easy to forget sometimes how much junk is really out there. Suddenly, this 6 yr old BRJ sculpt gets re elevated back to masterpiece status. Some might say we have been truly spoiled.

I don't think we're spoiled. Their prices keep going up, so should the quality of the product. So yeah, I expect greatness if the price justifies it. I don't want 6 year old quality with a 2014 price tag, and I think this 2.0 figure is better than v1, but is it $80 better? I don't know, I guess we'll know very soon.

I said $80 because V1 was $150 back in 2008, and the 2.0 might be $230.

I'm the same way. I think and am told by others that I'm pretty picky and OCD about stuff but compared to some on these boards when it comes to this hobby at least I'm really not at all. For the most part the figures I've bought I've been relatively happy with out of the box. I never feel the need to mod anything and honestly wouldn't even want to try for fear of breaking or ruining something. I haven't bought any custom capes but that's about the only thing I've considered replacing a few times (still might get a different cape for my DX12 eventually). To me it seems like some people look too hard for imperfections on these figures, which granted I understand they do cost a lot and should be good for the money we pay, but nothing is ever going to be one hundred percent perfect and for the most part I think that Hot Toys does a pretty good job with what they give us.

Well I don't look for imperfections, the fact is I would not know who the actors were just going by the Hot Toys 1/6th TDK sculpts, because that is how off I think the likeness is on them. I understand that you are happy enough with just having the figure look like the character and not the actor and that is fine but can you please respect people that want something that doesn't just look like the character but looks like the actor as well.

I guess me and this guy have been at the same place because I don't remember seein this one either.

I have no idea what this sentence means. Can u please clarify what u are trying to say?

Here it is. It looks good. J C Hong could do something amazing with it. Unfortunately, most people don't have his skills/talent.



The sculpt has the right shape. Maybe HT should use it a guide/ reference material.

That blows away any of Hot Toys sculpts.

Yeah like this one?

It does, the paint is amazing on it as well.

Yeah amazing what a repaint can do to bring out the likeness.

 

[Rambler]

Too bad, I just sold my DC Direct Joker. I could have had it repainted.

I've always liked the DC Direct Joker figure. Yeah, the makeup isn't film accurate, but it looks like Ledger, and its relatively understated style compared to the filthy hobo looking Joker we got in the movie makes a nice cross between the well-dressed comic book character and the Ledger interpretation. Probably a dumb question considering it's a 13" figure, but is there any chance the DCD head would look decent on a Hot Toys body after all the layers of clothes (shirt, vest, coat, overcoat) were added? has anyone ever tried it?

And has anyone ever heard any rationale from DCD about how exactly they arrived at their bone-headed decision to make the line out of scale with collectors' other 1/6 figures in the first place?
