Hot Toys - MMS 68 - The Dark Knight - 1/6th scale The JOKER collectible figure

[MaulFan]

I thought someone here said Toys2 was shipping in August?

Yup, they are, but trouble is, that could technically be next weekend, or if they get in sooner, could be anytime next week. If Eric has any estimate, he'll let me know, he's been straight with me in past inquiries.

Best thing is, usually my stuff ships from them the day they get them or the day after at the latest, very quick turnaround.

Let us all know. I have yet to pay for mine as well, was waiting for an invoice email. I paid via money order option.

I'm so torn, part of me is like, get the eyes painted with more black, but another part of me is like this figure was such a hastle to get, just leave it be. Guess we'll see how I feel about it when I'm staring at it in hand. It's definitely light on the black, but maybe I won't care so much when I have him.

Animate's auctions state that he ships within 72 hours of order/payment if the item is in stock. I will be giving him an email at the end of this alloted amount of time asking for a tracking number, and he better provide me with one.

I ordered from him on Friday and paid for 3-7 day shipping. So I guess I will wait until next week before I can decide about feedback.

Yeah I know how you feel, since I like the way it comes stock too. On the other hand, I want to tweak it. Maybe I should of ordered two

Cool find spoongirl. That's a nice repaint.

 

[MaulFan]

I'm thinking of holding off on touch up paint, see if a second figure comes out, judge that head, see if I want both figures and if I get another, paint the one I think would benefit the most and leave the other as is.

I like that it's really distressed, with the skin tone coming through

I am not doing anything to the figure when I get it.
It looks perfect the way it is.

I think we know who that was.

Yep, that's key if you repaint. Looks nice.

Great photos. That repaint really does bring the best out in the figure.

Really nicely done.

What's that black line running along the top of his head? Is his toupe' coming off?

My only issue is the black around his eyes, even when he's beat up, the black circles are quite bold and large and the figure apps are just a hair too subtle, at least going by pictures. I may feel differently when I get him.

I think it's just the seam, toupe hair on figures always has some seam showing, but at least this is more subtle than some figures have.

Hmmm, I've never noticed it before. I assumed the whole head was a one piece sculpt.

Nope, sculpted hair over head.

If you were to repaint it you could putty up that seam with some epoxy sculpt so it would blend in..
