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

[MaulFan]

always tried to pose V1 + Bank Robber head like this but because of his stupid off to the side eyes it just don't work damit!

For all that's great about it, the position of the eyes ruins that head to me, your pose options were so limited by it, it looks great in any pose that works with those eyes, but you're forced to use only those. I'm so excited for the PERS, any pose I want in the clow getup, I can do and he'll look awesome.

Yes yes yes

That's why I never bought it because of the stupid eyes

 

[blakus939]

Admit it everyone, posed eyes are the bomb, you love them Jk's, although i know i do. But now with PERS, that problem is no more! Solved!

 

[MaulFan]

They look life-like done that way, but they're too limiting, especially when to a side and not like just further up into the eyelids. You can't pose BR Joker head looking to the right at all, everything as to be off to his left.

 

[blakus939]

Yeah i know what you mean Maulfan, it's definately limiting, but i find i like a better pose with them to the side. The only thing that annoyed me was that they were to the left side, and not the right, which is why i had mine painted to the other side. Just brings out more of the likeness and it's the cooler side of the sculpt with the hair all slicked behind the ear imo.

when i see this poster
i totally can see the cop joker headsculpt there:

Yeah totally, the likeness is dead on, definately there. This always pops to mind when i see it. Naturally, excuse the Ronald Mcdonaldness, but it's the first pic i found showing that actual picture LOL If someone was incredibly handy on the tools, i reckon if you actually added PERS to the cop head sculpt, (no idea how hard it would be, but sounds like a huge job) painted it up with the makeup and did a shmick job on the hair, you'd have a real winner, the ultimate head! Tonne of work though

I still think the BR Head is better in terms of sculpt and looks, but that's just me. I think the eyes, while a turn off, give the BR head more of a realistic "attitude" instead of being neutral.

Don't get me wrong. I love the PERS eyes on this new MMS DX version and I also think the clean, mob scene accurate paint app is slick but I prefer the BR version. Who knows though, maybe once I get this new one I'll like it more, but I doubt it.

I currently have two BR heads (one for my V1 Joker and another for my second BR Joker) but with this new sculpt on the way, who cares? I'll have even MORE possibilities to choose from. I'm glad I didn't sell my V1 like must people.

MORE JOKERS = EXCITEMENT

I do like that too, a nice 3/4 angle for the body looks sharp, I just like if I can choose which side, and with straight eyes or PERS, you can control that.

Oh well, the BR head will soon be retired anyway

I wasn't 'as' keen on it at first, as i was with the BR joker head, but it's really grown on me, and with PERS, i think it's going to be pretty insane in hand, seems like pictures aren't doing it as much justice as actually holding it in hand will. Time will tell i suppose. LOL i've got 3 BR heads at the moment. Too many jokers (but you can never have enough )

shhbane's avvvy somewhat shows what it may/could look like:

 

[blakus939]

Yeah he used to have the awesome mix between the DX joker and cop joker as his banner pic too, although i can't find it
EDIT- ah no, here it is

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Can anyone recommend a good shotgun for him?

 

[blakus939]

Someone had found one that matched the screen version (possibly with a little modding if i recall?) but no idea what it was, regret not writing it down. I think others have also just had 'lucky dip' finds, with cheap figures at local shops, just happening to contain the right looking piece. If anyone could shed some insight would be awesome! I still have to make a 1/6th pool cue! And pencil How's your knife shoe coming Snake?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Thanks bud.

It is still in the development stages, had a delay on an integral part, so the schedule has slipped.

 

[MaulFan]

The top shotgun in this set is right for Joker, but you have to cut down the barrel of the gun and trim down to just the handle at the back.

Thanks Maul.

 

[DiFabio]

I know you can customize snake. The closest you could get to Joker's Remington shot gun is with the Hot Toys RE5 Chris Redfield shot gun.

Ebay auction

EDIT:

Never mind, Maul's idea is better.

My custom made one which will likely be available in October...

Spoiler

sculpt is finished, just waiting for brown and black color, even did the mold... and yes, it will be cheap ($10-15, depends on all costs at the end)

Thanks, that was the back up I had in mind.

That's actually not the right shotgun maulfan.

The shotgun the Joker uses in the party crashing scene is the same as the bank manager's which is a sawn off Remington 870

it's the top gun in this set:
