i hope thats not the case, i've ordered a TT body off ebay so i can display both figures

I just ordered one right before checking this thread again.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah if these new purple suit clothes with the cop joker fit a ht tt body then it will be worth getting and buying an extra tt body.

Yeah, I just got one from Sideshow... it better fit.

From Hot Toys' news:

they may fit then but as u posted there, with them being recut to a slimer fit, it may either look too tight or not hang well on the reg tt bods. hope they do fit tho.


sorry if i missed it, but whens this dx joker coming out??

and where have ppl preordered it from? ive seen afew on ebay that got it for preorder.

 

[Darth Madden]

Well, crap.. guess I better cancel my sideshow TT order then.

 

[Dally]

I hope they fit a normal TT, what is the use of a Two-in-One if you can't display both? I highly doubt anybody is going to take turns displaying the cop Joker and Mob Joker.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah i know, would be pointles i think to have clothes that would only fit th body that the cop joker is on in the box. i would think they would fit. if so then i prob would get it to go with my v1 joker then jst display both purple coat jokers and the cop joker together. then the br if i ever get that.

well in the spec it says Hot Toys True Type figure with over 35 points of articulation and nothing about slim TT unlike the michael jackson spec

Doesn't mention the body having any modifications. But we know it wasn't a standard TT.

shotgun for joker...
the top one in this one is screen accurate if you saw off the end and the top front...

Not really. The Joker shotgun is 'Pump Action'. Use the modified handle from above shotgun and glue it to HT Ranger one would make it closer.

 

[DarthAlias]

wow, this would be my first batman character i'd get! anyone have any idea when and where to order?

 

[polonium]

Don't underestimate LED. My dad says LED technology and some of the samples he's shown me are small as what's in that base and will blind ya if you look too long. Not to say they'll be putting something that high powered in this, but it is possible to achieve.

Agree, LED flash on my cell phone is very bright and bline me everytime I look at it directly.

This is what Bale would look like auditioning for Batman Begins after his role in The Machinist.

Devil_666 .. That's the batman body AFTER the dude has modified it... before modification, it's still the TT BUT just with NARROWER SHOULDERS. That's all (Cos I have modified the batman and know what the body looks like)

 

[Spanbauer]

Freaky! That looks like the smoking guy from Beetlejuice, to the left of Alec Baldwin.

Dude, like G'c said, it's just a standard True-Type with narrower shoulders. The body you see above (used for TDK batman) is modified. Oh and can people stop quoting EVERY image of the modified Batman Devill666 posted over and over while it's on the same page?

From a magazine displaying TDK suit batman (forgot what mag it was):

 

[villainsfan42]

this is almost a long time without any posts in this thread...

 

[Dally]

I think Batman's body is the same as the SS Stormtrooper body. It even says Hot Toy's on the bottom of the ST box, so it could be the same body.

 

[Devil_666]

I apologize for the pics.. I couldn't find any other to make my point. Obviously that TDK Batman in the photos was HEAVILY modified.. you can even see the dull areas where it was dremmled. Unfortunately, it's distracted everyone and instead of focusing on what I was getting at, everyone focused on the pics.

My point still stands: no mention of ANY modification is mentioned in the official specs from HT that's still on their site. So imo it is possible that HT could be using a modified TT, even if it's just slimmer shoulders, and NOT mention it like they did with the TDK Batman. Now.. HT did eventually mention it, but it was mention outside of the official specs:

As plasmid has shown. So maybe HT will do something similar for the Cop Joker/Upgraded Joker. But just based off the initial pics, it doesn't look like a standard True Type body imo.

And even if what Sachiel posted from HT is true:

The intensive improvements include: additional suspenders, shirt and jackets in fitter cutting, screen-accurate material of purple coat, re-painted shoes, and more......

A tighter cut of the clothing which would = a tighter fit would actually make the shoulders appear BIGGER on a Standard TT. The v.1 Joker shirt wasn't baggy imo and even on that figure you can see how big and oversized the shoulders are. That's why I think if this new figure is using a smaller body, even if it's just the shoulders, I don't think the clothing will fit properly. Just my opinion.
