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

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

There will be another Widow soon, I just saw her new hair style on FB.

I think her hair will be sculpted this time, because there's no way they can get that hair style with synthetic hair.

I purchased my figure earlier today. I'm not looking forward to finding out what cost of delivery to Australia will be.

=( ughh.

I swear, this better have been it for ledger jokers. If I see a joker 3.0 or exclusive/special with better bang for your buck, I'm going to Shake a baby and step on a puppy. Mark my words

 

[DVD1]

I'm getting this, but I was just given a great offer ( virtually buy two, get one free) if I got all three TF exclusives. I turned it down tho. I've never wanted a Predator and the IM doesn't do it for me. I'll stick with my Mk1 IM (brilliant figure).
It's pretty bad tho, when a supplier has to apologies for prices !

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Oh...of course there's going to be a 3.0 at some point. I don't know about a better price though....I doubt it, but we'll see another Ledger figure with different makeup and a different facial expression. We'll probably see a 66 Joker, probably one more 89 joker, and the video game joker. I just don't know what else they can do with Ledger, other than the same figure with a different facial expression.

It is a brilliant figure.

My Mark 1 (2.0) is #1 figure in my collection.

I doubt we will have a 3.0 of either Ledger Joker, but I can see them doing a third variation- the nurse!
I can also see a third Nicholson from the "I'm melting.." museum scene. I'd like to believe we will see the 60s Romero.

Yeah, this was another second release. I didn't see it coming or anything ( not a huge IM fan). I was in my local toy shop when it arrived, and I bought it instantly. The detail and shear visual appeal are stunning.

"The Joker (Daylight Robbery Version 2.0)"

It's even more expensive to get this from Sideshow to the UK. Add 20% tax and probably $30 delivery. Don't know what local prices will be yet, or whether the supply will be guaranteed. My pre-order for Lt. Gordon got cancelled in 2012 due to insufficient supply.

I'm going to Hong Kong soon for a holiday. If the price is right, I may be tempted to buy it there. Otherwise, it will cost too much to import from Sideshows to the UK. I'm perfectly happy with the version 1. In fact, if I was offered both versions for the same price £200-£220 ($300-$330), I will buy the version 1.

 

[chubbyman]

BR joker being my first hot toys, im not letting it go due to nostalgic reasons but will definitely get the new clothing to upgrade my V1. I have to stuff the body of V1 to make the clothing on it fit nicer.

No, Ledger's family is against the nurse version apparently...

The price wont be 'right' in HK, we are talking bout the pioneers of scalping here.

If anything, itd be more or less eBay prices over there.

Ah, I'd never heard that before. Pity, as it's the only other 'different' variant of the Joker left from the movie.

 

[Darkavatar]

I love how there are people justifying the price tag on Fcaebook. And that's why the bubble will never burst because no matter how much they cost, people will buy them

It may not burst but their target audience will only be for the very rich or those poor people that go without the necessities in life just so they can just spend their money on dolls.

Well I was considering getting this, but for $270 before shipping? Yeah, no. Much rather pay $100 more for a much more rare and cooler figure from Iminime.

Yeah same here.

You have a BRJ already. Don't waste money on this one. Buy the bag and the sculpt separately

i have almost always bought anything joker with a blink...but...

1) some how the sculpt is not very impressive. it looks more like crow in a joker costume especially the nose portion
2) way too pricey, although i am fine with that but still i would have preferred the mask sculpt be done in such a way that it gave a feeling of wearing a mask rather than a seamless sculpt. may be they shld show a pic or two from around the mask edges
3) the expression on the main sculpt should have been closer to the "anything that doesn't kill" section
4) there were 10 times more accessories and better craftsmanship with dx11 for 10 bucks more.

while i may still buy it, it is less than impressive...

So the nose portion looks like Brandon Lee's nose?

The head sculpt may be long like Brandon Lee's/Crow but the head sculpt is not skinny. EB's one looks more like the Crow with that stock paint because the head is not only long but really skinny just like Brandon's was.

Times like this really make me appreciate the DX07 for the sheer value that package was. I understand that it was released 2 years ago but funny how a figure like this 2.0 is roughly $20 cheaper now.

IMO this is the best Hot Toys set to date. Every figure that comes with an extra head sculpt should come with another full figure just like this set does because who seriously wants to keep swapping head sculpts all the time?

Oh...of course there's going to be a 3.0 at some point. I don't know about a better price though....I doubt it, but we'll see another Ledger figure with different makeup and a different facial expression. We'll probably see a 66 Joker, probably one more 89 joker, and the video game joker. I just don't know what else they can do with Ledger, other than the same figure with a different facial expression.

How about they make one that actually looks like Ledger for once? That is something new to them.

 

[Centrocal]

What a ****in joke the price of this figure. This is a straight up bad deal. Wouldn't go for it. And don't expect the value to go up in the future either. May as well get the real one at this point

Apparently there's idiots buying it for $400+ that don't know about Sideshow Collectibles....

I know they say so many have sold but I think it might be a marketing ploy.

 

[Rorywan]

Aaaah Goodshipped. What a crap seller. Completely over priced and untrustworthy.

Regarding the price though.

Have a think about this.

Anyone from europe that orders from Sideshow will pay roughly the following.

$270-280 for the figure (can't remember exactly)
$30 or $40 shipping
Fedex custom fee's (guaranteed, you get an invoice) of about $60 on this, I paid $45 on Nathan Drake figure which was a lot cheaper.

So that comes to in or around $370 maybe a bit more.
So for an extra $20-30 you get your figure within 2-3 days of release, to some people that's worth not having to wait months?
And some of these will be selling for less than Goodshipped.

Recently a lot of the crazy hyped prices on ebay have been equal or even slightly cheaper than ordering from SS (if you are outside US). Worth keeping in mind, is this figure worth that price? Absolutely not.

I never thought about that but $400 for this figure is just insane, since for the most part is just a re released figure but unlike other re release figures this one has the same head sculpt just repainted! Like u you said totally not worth it.

 

[Rorywan]

Care to elaborate on that?

He operates just (barely) within the realms of being honest.
Leo (I think his name is) has a shady business operation with pre-orders. I was burnt by him a few years back and I know others have been as well. You order something for an inflated price with the understanding that it will be shipped with you when it's released in HK.

But when he gets his stock in, he sells those for even more cash as "in stock" listings. Even if you preordered with him, you are left waiting, his explanation is that HK instore stock is different and if you want it when it's released you have to pay him even more money.

Avoid. Unless he has the item listed as "in stock" and you are happy with the price.

 

[Sidious-66]

Yeah that sounds pretty bad Rorywan. I have only ever bought loose items from him in he past and I have never had a problem with him on that front.

I just stick to the UK sites for my figures, the long wait has never bothered me.
