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

[blakus939]

There basically arent any, if you consider what we knew we were getting, the only thing they changed is the tie, and that, we already had photographic evidence of beforehand.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Yes, that was what I was tring to say. The way they led us to believe they were taking on board our advice and making big amendments when they weren't is very bad. They have lost a lot of trust from me.

The only reason I am getting this set is effectively the grenade rig, coat and most importantly, the Cop Joker. Evrything else will likely be flipped on eBay or here.

does anyone actually prefer the original tie to the new one? the color seems too bright, the film one was more of a muted color. i might switch the ties out when i get mine, which should hopefully be next week!

Yeah i may too, depending on how good the sculpt etc is in the flesh. Definately going to mix and match with my original, but then, it's deciding whether to throw the rest together with the pers head, and maybe rebuy another jacket, or just sell it all
So bogus how they led us on and basically told us amendments and changes were being made.

The changes i see so far are, suspenders,vest is adjustable at the back now,shirt collar is better tailored,coat fits and looks better..no belt included..jacket underneath looks like a cheaper material though but, blah..biggest gripe i have with it is the black eye make up is glossy and not dulled out and the blood veins in the eyeballs look too evenly applied.

I think it looks dreadful. Does not appear to be an improvement, other than possibly the material.

My experience with Goodshipped in the past, has been really good

Its hard to capture all the details in photograph these days with HT's stuff. They look soo much better in person. This is especially true with my connor, and marcus sculpt. I'm guessing same goes with the joker dx. So don't judge just yet, that's all I'm tryin to say.

 

[viezure]

Ok, now things i don't like. On the "clown" joker: too many dots (too much texture) on the white face paint, making him look like he's too wrinkled. Eyes seem a little big and a little lifeless. The only thing i don't like about the police joker is that maybe, perhaps, the scars are too pronounced

 

[kazukijun]

Cop Joker needs to be a little pale as well

I'm still waiting to hear back aswell. I think Leo has probably been swamped with emails since this product launched. I'm sure he'll be shipping as soon as he can.

I have to say that even without all the 'whistles and bells' that this Joker has, I still prefer the Bank Robber Joker head. It has far more of an accurate look about it then this version. To me at least.

I think the only parts I'll want to get hold of from this is the new coat and the pants. The rest I'll quite happily pass on.

anybody interested in selling the clown version gear, PM me!

Most comments on here have been laughable!! So much negativity, but I guess it is normal here. What I don't understand is reading comments saying they don't like it and they would buy it, only for whatever parts they need e.g the purple coat or just keep the joker cop and throw away the dx joker with movable eyes, oh get this because it has big eyes!
What a waste of money! I honestly think the new joker is excellent, sure not perfect, but a well done improvement from hot toys. So much niggledy iggeldy bits your complaining about.
Look guys if you dont like it......don't buy it!!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

True if you don't like it don't buy it, but this is a discussion forum. Bound to be comparisons and opnions on the pretty much non-existent costume changes.

I know, just on the defense of this new figure.

I can understand you. I think overall, HT did a great job. It's just that most collectors want a perfect, little version of an actor or rather the character they've played in their hands. But there's only so much you can do with time constraints, the way money is spread to whatever is being used and whomever are getting paid, and of course when some things like building materials like clothing are hard to perfect when small to begin with.

 

[viezure]

It's not that collectors want a perfect joker, but they can't ignore some inaccuracies and they're simply pointing them out. Why is that bad?

So much negativity

Really? So much? Except some opinions and preferences (justified, in my opinion), i don't see where the negativity is.
