From my experience, HT do make minor improvements to the same figure on subsequent run. The most changes I have seen so far is BR Joker. I got a first run version where the mask is quite clean, the trousers' cut a bit looser than in the movie, and the colour a slightly different shade than in the movie.

The second BR Joker I got a few months later from a much later run has a much dirtier mask, the trousers the correct cut this time, and the colour also true to the movie. This is when I also noticed the later run head paintjob is less sloppy around the mouth.

Sadly I cannot post a comparison because I sold the first BR Joker.

I have observed other minor changes in almost all their figures, the OC Bats has a slightly lighter skintone (the first run was really dark), apparently Jack Sparrow of later batches has lighter skin tone too. The Appleseed second run a year later apparently has a much durable rubber suit.

The last batches of Ironman MKIII has slightly darker paintjob and I could have swore my second TDK Bats has a slightly wider head. Sadly I can't post a comparison again because I sold the first TDK Batman.

It is also currently speculated that spelling corrections will be made to the cards in the next batch so hold on to those first batches guys cause if this is indeed true, the first batches bad spelling cards will be collectors item in the future.

I knew this since i was in public school lol!..I am sure many Americans even have no clue that Canada was once ruled by the Brits with the last province under rule being Newfoundland before it became a part of Canada in 1949.Funny the Asian shopping centers we have here in Toronto are very similar in design and setup to that seen in the video.

The best part is when ppl in HK speak Chinese they scatter random bits of English here and there even if they really do not know how to speak English... like pretend English Even older ppl tend to do it as much as it's being pretty much done even in the Chinese TV and movies. Not sure about now as they all now try to master Mandarin

This........is worrying.

that's only 2 days

 

[cr0w]

Still, it's maddening.

Always nice to see mods doing their jobs. Good work.

Soon, cr0w, soon. Mine has not even arrived in UK yet.

/me chuckles at Valfar's previous comment

Now thats a tad creepy. I somehow think of Small Soldiers seeing that. Pull out a knife and run across the counters slashing everyone across the face.

It looks possessed in that lighting.

 

[cr0w]

It's like I've stepped back in time 5 minutes!

That video and some recent pictures have seemed more promising in terms of the coat color.

Though, if it's nice in hand, means it must be tricky to photograph because it doesn't always look right.

 

[KBA]

Exactly my thoughts on the coat regarding that video. I thought it was going to be pretty clear cut and not anything like the ambiguous dark dark purple/ black color the V1 had. I thought that might have been due to the very odd material used (shiny) on the V1 but it seems to be happening with this DX material as well.

 

[vodoun]

Geez Maul, I've yet to see you post one thing without saying coat colour and photograph.

No offense but you're very obsessed over this. I thought I was bad.

[MaulFan]

Because it's the only questionable thing, everything else looks great, I had big hopes that the coat would come out better in color than the v1, so it's my biggest focal point.

I still think it's funny how no one has apparently swapped out any of the hands for the Clown Joker.

Same two stock hands in almost every pic. The one guy who did an interogation scene with chair is the only person to change the hands. But he didn't use any of the other gloved hands.. just some bare hands.

 

[MaulFan]

I plan to use the flat grenade hand a bit for photos, never liked that the v1 was the gun hand or the "rock" sign hand for options.

Bleuhh! Anyway..I was going to get Marcus Wright recently but, i think i have changed my mind and will be using those funds for this figure since i have a extra TT at the moment,as getting Marcus i would need to get one of those biker outfit sets to display both versions of him and its just all a bit out of the way for me.Anyone know when Toys2 gets their first shipment of DX Joker?.
