Hot Toys - MMS DX 01- The Dark Knight - The Joker spec and pics

[Devil_666]

Wait until I get mine from Mista305 aka Joe. Whenever he gives me notice it's ready and I pay for it and get it. I'll drop you a pm. Never know.. you might not even want it by then or you might find a cheaper deal. On my end.. I will definitely be selling it because I dont need/want 3 Jokers (I have a BR Joker already). So let's wait until I actually get the thing before making anything concrete as far as deals. Cool?

Sounds good to me.

 

[THE JOKER]

If you look down the page it appears to be an improved joker, first thing i noticed was the tie.

Between this, the DX TDK Bats and HT's RE5 line, looks like I'm gonna have to sell HT my house to afford all these! I still wish HT would have fixed the hair line on Joker though.

Tie doesnt look good. but it might just be the angle

Looks like he's sporting snaps instead of velcro. It's better.

Really hope that's not the extent of the changes they made. Purple on the coat still sucks

It's been like that DiFabio. Since the Proto was first seen.

The first released "wookster" pics? I always assumed it was still velcro when I first saw it months back. I never saw any evidence of them using snaps until this pic. I just looked back and still don't see how people could tell. I thought I kept up with HT TDK line, did they confirm that they used snaps for that proto or did I miss people assuming that it's indeed snaps?

EDIT:

And I should say snaps, they aren't really buttons.

 

[Mollins]

I think DiFabio is on about the button snaps to keep the Waistcoat closed, not the actual buttons on it Devil

Yeah, my fault. I meant the snaps. Don't know why I called them buttons. I circled the evidence of the black snaps, not buttons.

So yeah, it isn't velcro.

 

[Devil_666]

Yeah I know Mollins/DiFabio.. that's what I'm talking about as well. Instead of Velcro (v.1) there's two snaps to close the vest. I'm trying to pinpoint in this thread where we all first started talking about it.

That's what Devil's referring too, though it wasn't apparent in the official HT images, it was early shots of him at Toys Hunters that were posted here which gave us a view like this new shot from the toy show.

 

[KBA]

Yeah, snaps is old news. Anyone know if the tie is new or is the lighting just doing something weird to it?

I think it's just the photo quality, and considering the downgrade the tie went through from proto to production on the first figure, I really don't care what it looks like in these shots, I don't have high hopes for what we'll get when ours are in hand.

I did a search on this thread with "snaps" and "buttons" and only a few things popped up. I looked through and it just looked like speculation to me.

Sorry thought it was new. I didn't think we got a concrete example that this was going to be button snaps or velcro.

My fault, now I know. I just assumed until now that they were just going to go the V1 route and make it velcro and the stuff I saw about button snaps in the past were just assumptions, wishes, and speculation.
