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

[uscmhicks]

Good post, the only thing I would perhaps differ with in terms of my view is that i'm all for harmless debate - provided everyone can understand like grown ups that everyone is different therefore everyone will have different opinions. You understand and respect that, and there should never be any problems.

What causes problems is people coming in and bashing it would seem just for the hell of it.

We're talking about this forum though so that isn't an option.

 

[intothevoid]

Yeah, hence the problem sadly

I probably actually wouldn't be into much custom stuff if hot toys or another 1/6 company would make figures from more obscure movies , it's usually the character that draws me to the work rather than the fact that it's custom.
The rarity and excellent custom paint jobs are usually just a bonus.

Well for me, I got into 1/6 due to HT making stuff from the Nolan Batman movies, i've been a Batman fanatic since I was a kid and these movies really hit the nail on the head for me - so i've been trying to build a BB/TDK exclusive 1/6 collection of the best quality I can - and that has entailed custom work to improve on HT's pieces as well as to create characters which HT has not tackled.

At least this way I know what my endgame looks like to some extent, just a matter of getting there

Well there you go. I guess I just don't care that much about this license. Fair enough those customs you showed were good ones but to me all they offer is an alternative paintjob based on an entirely different scene and real hair. Good on these particular customs.

But yeah the gist I get is that there was indeed a meeting to decide that Yullis sculpt sucks. I just wasn't here for it nor do I agree with the outcome of that meeting.

I get where you're coming from void. I'm a superman fanatic but being quite young and having to pay for college, I have had to miss out on all HT Superman figs, so I can only hope HT produced more from the Reeve Superman line.

But there's a fine line between bashing and constructive critism which I think which causes so many arguments in this forum. I just think that to help keep the piece, everyone should just post pics in their respective threads. I think that might of Bern the start in the first place that someone felt that when TD showed his Bobby sculpt here those who love their DX might of felt he was showing off or trying to one up them. Idk that's speculation but that's what I think is why this thread got heated

 

[meth head]

I showed it because the other thread got shut down because of haters! Why should I not post pics of this masterpiece?

I am a huge Joker fan, I got my new camera and wanted to share! It's upto you if you all want to get heated about it, but that was not the intention

 

[intothevoid]

Yeah as TD says, he posted here cuz the other one got closed! I guess maybe we use the v1 thread for customs? I dunno - mods will have to figure that one out. Or maybe just a joker customs thread within the dc section.

That way this one can be kept limited to dx

 

[a-dev]

I haven't been keeping up with the DC section but for a the odd glance when theres nothing much going on in Aliens&Robots, I had no idea I was tapping into some stuff that was obviously causing strife around here.

Well fair enough, that's your opinion and I get what you are saying - but to me those customs offer a lot more than just a different paint job and real hair, I think the base sculpt is far more accurate. But yeah, enough about that.

I don't think Yulli's work sucks, it's very good. And for a while it was the best available (particularly when the BR Joker first came out), but I just think some of the other custom sculpts available are better.

no no man you got me all wrong, joker's my fav villain of all time, next Lex Luthor but that's besides the point...but I don't care that you posted it here. I like Bob's sculpt and like seeing how real you guys can make it look w/ all of ya'lls pics. I'm saying that those who started talking about why would you customize things namely a TDK Joker might of gotten offended somehow b/c of it. that's all. I was just trying to find reason as to why this thread got out of hand that's all man as it seemed it arose after the pic was posted. But I know that wasn't your intention man. sorry for the confusion

I see no reason why Ted can't show off his Joker here. I just don't get the hate is all. It seems that there are two main camps here those who love Bobby C's Joker and those who hate it with a passion that seems to rival no other. I'm not sure if people hate because they wish they had one or if they just really don't like it. I feel like I'm in the middle. I like all three (Adam's, Bobby's and Yulli's) about the same, but they all have something wrong with them, and I'd have to say that if I could get Adam to sell me one of his heads, unpainted and without hair, that 'd be the one I'd buy. I refuse to pay more then 50$ for a head though. I think Bobby's is good for a first try, but if I had to choose between my modded HT head and one of Bobby C's Joker heads I'd stick with mine or sell Bobby's and buy Adam's. That's me though, and no Ted I'm not hating on your Joker I think it's a very good custom. It's just not my favorite of the Joker heads.

 

[Gipetto0812]

^^again totally agree with everything you said right there, as that is exactly how I feel about all this. obviously I didn't know the proper way to say it though

 

[monkeyrobotmaster]

It's all good buddy.

 

[Master Wayne]

I'm happy with my stock DX Joker.

 

[monkeyrobotmaster]
