What exactly is the big issue with the outfit here?..they added more details to it..suspenders, vest has added details and better looking buttons,the chain is right now etc..
Probably, and rightly so, some things people ask for seem unfeasible for a figure but they want them anyway. Something as basic and easily done as a coat color though, I think it would benefit them to pay attention. I still shake my head to this day about the coat they gave Jack Sparrow, there isn't a single photo or movie still that resembles the color of the coat they gave him.

There are small details and there are some personal preference details, the biggest detail to me is how much the coat is or isn't clearly purple in standard room lighting. The v1 coats often look black unless under super bright light, the defining trait of Joker's wardrobe is purple so if the coat fails to capture that, it's puzzling why go to the effort to improve the tailoring but not correct the coloring.
I try not to get caught up in the level some of these discussions get, but with DX Joker and Batman, a large part of the reason they're being made is to improve the flaws of the first releases, so it perplexes me when it seems like they haven't. The first coat came out very dark, I would have thought they caught that issue with folks as much as the lapels and all and would have fixed it, but going by comparison shots, they don't seem to have and may have even made it worse, but this is all speculation on edge waiting to actually get the figure and know for certain what it's like and what we're getting.
Nobody on here has this yet. We're all re-posting pics from different boards. I re-posted shots of the cards a couple pages back (just the fronts though). I was surprised to see more than just the initial 3 seen. So far there's at least 5, one of which is the "Will The Real Batman Please Stand Up?" card people were hoping to get.

Thanks guys! Seriously I had no clue, maybe because I've never collected on that level.
So then how does that apply here!? Are the cards you get random!?
You tell me dude

Problem is, the V1 outfit needed a complete overhaul, but the DX outfit only provides tentatively slight upgrades and fixes.
Maybe the cards with the DX figure and the clown are two-side and feature the other art but the Ledger comment one in the middle isn't something else on the back side.
Well, they gotta have something that they could improve for their next joker/nurse combo mate

Do you guys think including a card like this is in good taste? I don't know what to think of it. It's a fitting tribute, I guess, but it borders on exploitation. It'd be ironic if there were another HT Joker figure. I think that would set it over the edge.
It wouldnt surprise me dude.
Just add in the pipe from the final battle, bazooka, shot guns and some rottweilers, improve the suit a bit and voila, we have and instant winner again
Just messing with ya mate

If that had been a heavy marketing thing to sell this figure, I might think poorly of it, but being that we've all bought the figure on it's own merits and this is something we didn't expect being packed in, I think it's just a nice way of rounding out that as much as the DX is a special figure in HT's portfolio of work, it also can stand as a rememberance of a great performance by a gifted actor.
devil666, I saved yer sig because its so friggin pissed looking. Nice capture.
for a 1 year anniversary, it could happen mate
At this point, anything could happen with HT

Most things people have complained about aren't that hard to fix. Because it's as simple as material choices.
Outside Coat (Distinct Purple)
Both Coat liners (Orange)
Shirt (Slightly Darker/Bluer)
Inside Coat (Slate Blue)
Tie (Slightly Darker)
Socks (Correct Pattern/Colors)
These are the main things and there's no way you can see these aren't feasible because again, it's simply a matter of choosing the correct colors for the materials. HT has already DONE all these pieces and done them well. They just FUBAR'ed the colors.
And ALL these things were brought up with the v.1 Joker. Honestly, the main reason most people are kinda shaking their heads is because HT said they were "working on it" and that we'd (the customers) be "Happy" with the final result. And in the end, nothing was changed from the Proto to the Finished product after those comments. We already knew HT changed the DX Joker's tie and the Cop Joker's hat badge (From "Police" to "GCPD") so most expected more changes after seeing those comments from HT. We got nothing. So people feel a little led on.
The final product is still great and I'm still buying it. They got so much right but at the same time (per the usual with HT) they got so many obvious things wrong. It's like HT has no problems with the hard stuff but the easy stuff they completely fail at.
And the biggest WTF moment by far is the v.1 prototype pics from Harue. Because if you see those you'll see the outer coat with a red liner and right in the background (behind the figure with the prototype clothing) is this pic:
Which clearly shows both coat liners are orange.
