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

forehead? proof? photo?

You can really see it here (look at the enlarged versions of the pics):

That's not paint. Good luck trying to find another pic of Heath Ledger without Joker make-up with deep, prominent forehead lines like that.

Billy's shirt looks really blue like compared to the real shirt. The real shirt looks a somewhat faint purple.

 

[Salvation/Damnation]

The figure to me looks good so far. Fuh-Q all you picky jerks

 

[shhbane]

You people are gracking me up, forehead prosthetic? Heath only wore 3 makeup pieces for the mouth, none for the forehead, or so say the makeup creators.

 

[intothevoid]

I know, that's all I've ever heard and read about - just mouth prosthetics, never about any forehead stuff. All he did was make extreme expressions which created the deep lines on his forehead and face!

Those pics of the sculpting and raw prosthetics are very cool - where did you get them?

Have always been disappointed in the lack of in-depth behind the scenes stuff for the Nolan Batman films.

Me too, was totally looking for some awesome behind the scenes footage on the bluray extras and nothing! Easily THE worst special features i've ever seen! I think the cop head looks awesome, it's totally Heath, as shhhbane's avatar shows! Compare that painted up cop head to the pic of heath with prosthetics, it's spot on. I do think the paint app is lacking a tad though. It's lost all the detail. I WOULD have normally said bad lighting, but look at the clown head, all the detail is still there. I think all their normal person face sculpts should be HT godfather good, and it doesnt appear to be in those pics. The proto is another story, looks insane! But that detail should transfer directly to the figure! In hand they are always a tad off, but c'mon, not that much!

THANK YOU! I wondered what that was in his avvy. Def have to get a spare cop head to have repainted and haired.

Agree on the extras too. Dreadful. One of the extras was just a TV show that I actually saw whilst on holiday in Orlando last July for TDK.

 

[blakus939]

Hehe you are welcome. I agree, to be honest, i think that's all the cop side of the figure is good for They nailed the whole expression though, the jaunted mouth, and evilishly focused eyes!

 

[Devil_666]

Any word on this figures release date!? Or the supposed updates!?

 

[lforigno]

I heard 3-5 weeks about 2 weeks ago so I am hopeful it is going to be any week now. But honestly who knows.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Any word on this figures release date!? Or the supposed updates!?

I selfishly hope it is not for three weeks, as I am on holiday and don't want to miss out on ordering from HK and all the initial awesomeness here.

Billy's shirt looks really blue like compared to the real shirt. The real shirt looks a somewhat faint purple.

I noticed this to on my first billyB shirt so I actually had him make a better fitting shirt for a narrow shoulder body which is also darker. It turned out great, and he is currently making me another one. It looks much more screen accurate and the fitting is outstanding. Im sorry about pics though as my iphone is the only camera I have and im sure no one wants to see some blurry pics lol

 

[Sachiel]

OMG!

There is Black Mask at the top!

 

[siquisiri]

hold on so the HT DX joker gets released in a few weeks but if you order the same fig through dc direct it wont be released until DEC???

Correct, either by necessity or by choice, DC receives figures like 3 or more months after HK dealers, Toys2 and others with direct from HT delivery.

 

[The Ringer]

Those are some pretty cool pictures. Kudos for finding them.

 

[lforigno]

here are some pics of billyB's new better fitting joker shirt for narrow shoulder truetype and more accurate color. Best pics I could do:

 

[vodoun]

Is it the lighting from the film or a tint they use that causes that shirt to look a somewhat washed purple? or is the shirt really a faint purple? as that new shirt still looks a somewhat blue wash like denim shirts.

His stuff feels so well made. There is a good thickness to the material. Hot Toys always made me think their shirts were easy to rip. Not only that they crease so badly because it's so soft.

 

[blakus939]

Btw forgot to post before, i LOVE the new factory tie, looks awesome, nicer than BillyBs i reckon. Having said that, i have a shirt and tie from him on order to replace the horrible V1 garb!
