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

How about a bit of Johnson's Baby Oil? I use to use this on my model railways for anything sticking.

I would say that the video you see is actually the smoothest I've got it to move. I don't want to move the eyes too much as it may break however I is sturdy enough not not fall to bits as the pictures suggest. Like all 1:6 scale figures I'd still say be careful as it probably won't take too much abuse.

ps. you don't know how long it took me write this short message without using the words 'stick' 'stiff' and 'in your hands'

When I recieved the figure he was very cold...it was a cold day in England and probs cold on the parcel van. I attempted to move the joystick and could tell if I kept forcing it then it would break. I left it for a few hours to aclimatise to the room and the temperature and the movability improved.

However, t is a very delicate piece of kit. The stick only seems to rotate - about 180degress left and 180degrees right- any further and it feels like it will snap. It's not so much jerky when you move it, more stiff. It's like the stick dosen't want to turn. Only being able to rotate stick means you can't move the it up and down, making the eyes look up and down - to achieve this you have to rotate it the stick in a C shape a shape which the eyes follow - to make him look at the floor his eyes will rotate in a C motion - I found this weird - I thought the could just go up and down. Maybe I got a delicate headsculpt I don't know but I'm scared to muck around with it too much. I found an eye posistion which I like and have left it like that!

Thanks for the info. Hmmm, the PERS system is not as simple as I had assumed. Certainly not as simple as Enterbay's solution, which I wouldn't say is better nor worse.

 

[MaulFan]

The main purpose I find behind the PERS system is to keep both eyes in sync to insure that wherever one eye goes, the other is in the appropriate position as well, where Enterbay's system seems to leave you at roughing it by eye.

 

[LChinoz]

I love Enterbay's system. I don't mind the individual eye thing, it's easy enough to get them to look good. I worry if one of the eyes on the PERS get's off center, the entire time it will be that way with no way of fixing it. I hope my DX Joker will be okay when I get Him...I am planning on moving the eyes quite a bit.

just got mine from goodshipped. the figure is immense, i cant stop staring at it, havent put all the little things like grenades or badge for police officer on yet, cant find my dark knight dvd. anyone who ordered this from goodshipped with an extra true type, he puts the police clothiing on the body and bubble wraps the extra pieces, but took me a while to figure this out lol.

how many days did it take to ship to you

 

[eczamurai]

got the DX parts I want, the shirt is the best out there IMO, better even than BillyB's, the fit is perfect!
BillbyB tie looks amazing on this thing. period, no better option.
I gave everything a good old ironing, and it looks stellar.
But.. for some reason my inner coat is missing a button.. but I don't really mind, can't fix it cause I cant sew anyway..

Also for those wondering how the BR clothing look on the narrow TT, the one on the right is on a narrow TT!

NOW BRING ON THE SMALL STUDIOS REPAINTS!

sigh... the wait...

*EDIT* just found the missing button on the ground, bummed, gonna ask the old grandma if she can fix it

Thats screen accuracy they are all like that. At least mine and all the photos I've seen are like that.

 

[MaulFan]

I'm not sure it's screen accurrate, I've got 2 v1 sport coats, both with 3 buttons, I have a number of shots of the costume and Ledger with 3 buttons on the sport coat.

 

[eczamurai]

I think DCFlake thought I meant the vest, but I meant the overcoat, and yeah you're right maul, I found the button, damn wish I could sew.. Hope my grandmom can fix it!

Oh I thought you mean the waist coat. My coat has 3 buttons however my waist coat only has 3 buttons too. (susposed to have 4)

yeah you beat me to it

 

[Devil_666]

Grandma's can fix ANYTHING.

I like your set up so far man. Looks really slick with both figures on a DX stand. I agree, from your pic the BillyB tie looks better. What are you doing with the DX head repaint? Clean, Dirty?

 

[Geil]

Someone over at ToyWorld has already experienced breakage with the PERS. At least it lets US see how the system works.

**NOTE: The head is from this repaint**

Oh this just looks like demons from Supernatural possessed the Joker

 

[eczamurai]

no, it's two BR repaints, the "normal" BR sculpt going for the mob scene, whereas the smiling sculpt is totally revolutionairy, going for the interrogation look on that one!

here's the sculpting of it to let you know what I mean, credit to Mollins for doing it:

Also, DX batman is on order to be put in front of both Jokers, in the middle!

 

[EdwardNashton1]

I think I'm going to use the Medicom pants on my DX

 

[eczamurai]

why the medicom ones?

 

[EdwardNashton1]

why the medicom ones?

I like the color. The HT pants are really blue, and the DX ones are possibly worse and don't cover the shoes as much as v1 and medi

Well I just spent the last three hours photographing my DX Joker 'phew', Obviously used the PERS alot without any real problems. I am finding it frees up the more you use it. and a gentle sweeping circular motion back and forth is working best for me so far. Any way I'm knackered so I'm gonna catch sone Z's!

Does anyone have an email or any info as to how I can get in contact directly with JC Hong?
