So June to July/August.. that's cool. Hellboy and then this one and then that's it. I swear!!! Dammit.

Any word on price?

Tie looks to be material too.

It is. And the shirt collar actually closes now!!

 

[Moonloop]

Wow......I am excited but at the same time very upset about the V1 Joker ever being released. I truly feel that I have wasted my money.

Well I will be selling all of V1 Jokers accessories, clothing, hands, shows, head, etc. And keeping just the body for this Joker.

I am mad but excited at the same time. I hate the fact that this version seems like a much better version of the V1 with a cop suit, but I love this figure.

Trust? Really? The figures, the "updates" were bonuses really.

The first figure "The Joker" was done before the final film edit was completed and inaccurate in many ways despite being a fantastically done figure. It was done on promotional pics solely and obviously things changed.

The second figure "The Joker in Bank Robber Disguise" included a second head that could be used for the v1 figure but not made specifically for it like the Jack Sparrow release. It also included a gun that was heavily featured in trailers and posters and people were screaming should have been included.

This figure "The Joker in Cop Disguise" has upgraded suits, which people were screaming about since the first release. The suit is the correct color. It seems lightly weathered which people were complaining was lacking. It also includes additional Joker pieces like the Grenade rig. Additional hands and completely new Joker head with different expression. This update was created specifically to make the Joker from the Mob scene. If you have Joker v1 and get this figure which is only $30 more than a standard MMS you basically can upgrade everything from the HS to the clothing, if not it can just stay in the box like a 2 in 1.

When you really look at the game footage Hot Toys hasn't committed a huge sin as many are proclaiming.

While its expensive to have "The definitive Joker" because you'd either have to fight on eBay for the pieces or plop down $480 to get it but that is our fault for being anal retentive collectors, there are collectors out there who are still happy with their first purchase and have called it done.

This is fantastic but I'm already excited about the Stallone/Arnie possibilities in the future.

 

[Wookiee Breath]

Very excited over this figure but....where is his pencil?!

Screw the knife, the pencil was the Joker's most famous weapon in the movie so it's exclusion in this "ultimate" Joker is perplexing.

 

[The Mike]

Huh. Didn't think about that....with a "Mob Scene" Joker being created with these parts you'd think it'd be a given....

 

[Voorhees27]

Didnt Buttmunch or someone find a solution to the pencil?

 

[nexus-6kev]

Good thing I waited for this. Really looking forward to this one.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I am floored they included the WHOLE V1 outfit!!

But I don't care, this way I can display one interrogation Joker and this new one.

Stil staring at those pics. Was so amazed I even printed one out at work and stuck up at my desk to keep me going till I got home.

 

[Khev]

Very excited over this figure but....where is his pencil?!

That's being saved for the next Joker figure.

 

[ro926]

Because these guys are involved

Is it just me, or does Michaels' lazy eye just keep getting worse with each chair shot he takes? LOL!!

Ahem...sorry to get off-topic. The new Joker rules!!

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Good I couldn't get my hands on the V1 Joker after all... I'm ordering this version. Any suggestions where to buy this?

 

[SweeneyTodd]

I just saw those guys live yesterday!
(well, both were there, not as DX, but still.)

Oh and yeah, the new Joker DOES rule!

 

[meanstreak]

I think I will finally cave in and buy him... but do I need batman? I think I want to just pose him holding the string with one hand and the jacket with the other to show off the grenades.

Hot Toys has already had quite the hostory of double dipping.

2-in-1 Returns Superman
Battle Damaged Predator 2
Wolf Predator (cleaner kit version)
Cannibal Jack Sparrow
Batman Begins-costume Batman

At least with this one you get all the accessories of the v1 so you aren't missing anything if you didn't purchase previous versions.
