[gypsycatcha]

the HCG bust should be available soon, after I finish the sculpt I send it out and it is out of my hands.
I know they put a real tie and shirt on the bust ,that was nice.
batman TDK Sonar is my personal favorite , it is coming out excellent !
it will be rubber coated , light up eyes translucent chest armor.

Thanks Guys

Void it is 1/6th scale, they are working on a smaller base now.

Jesus iv not seen the TDK sonar... sounds amazing

Guys I don't like seeing arguments over who's work is better. I'm flattered that some of you like my work so much, but I would never say it's better then Bobby's or Adam's or anyone's for that matter. It's just different, each artists take on the same character. None of them are perfect, but they're all great in their own rights.

Bobby, the talking Joker sounds kick ass! I look forward to seeing it, and as always you raise the bar. Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford some of your work.

I have to agree with MRM, it is a uncomfortable feeling for us as artist especially since we are friends and on the same board (as if we don't read the threads , subtle jabs to plain out hate).We try our best for what skill level we have at that time in life , personally I'm not in competition with anyone except myself , hopefully I can do this till the day I die .

it is great to see other talents on the board Adam and MRM have god given talents for sculpting.
MRM we can do some trades coming up soon.
Thanks Guys

Wow bobby a 1/6 talking joker.... Crazy can't wait for updates

I don't see why these arguments even occur considering this is the MMS DX 01 - The Dark Knight - The Joker spec and pics thread...

I agree with you as well, who knows what we'll all be doing and how much better we'll be 5, 10, 20 years from now.

And a trade sounds awesome!!!

Not to be argumentative, but there's not much else to really say about the DX01. Other then discussing the PERS breaking and the crazy prices they go for on ebay. People are bound to start talking about custom stuff to keep things interesting, otherwise this would be a dead thread IMO.

 

[cokebabies]

One way of looking at it is we should be grateful that we have so many good customizers that we can have discussions about whose is better.

But, since that's so subjective, the "who's better" arguments are pointless.

The only real way to decide is for everyone to send me a sculpt, so I can compare in person.

Well then maybe there should be a thread specifically for custom Jokers. Just like there's a thread for DX01, a thread for Bank Robber Joker, a thread for v1 (which is probably rightfully quite defunct), etc.

That's the idea.

There's a whole section for these type of discussions and topics,

The DC section is a cluster ____ as it is. It's technically not a DX 01 Joker thread anymore when the figure itself is nonexistent in the last hundred pages.

 

[monkeyrobotmaster]

I'm sorry you have such an issue with where other people post, but there's not much you, me or anyone else can do, unless they're a moderator, and the moderators don't seem to have an issue with were people post things. I don't see what the big deal is, but that's me, and again sorry it bothers you so much. If it makes you feel any better I've not posted any picture of any of my customs in here in a very long time because of this sort of thing.

 

[haytil]

I for one am glad that DC customs get posted in the DC section, since I'm only interested in Batman-related custom work (so the customs forum can be hard to find what I'm looking for).

But I think it'd be better for everyone involved if the customs had their own thread within the forum. That way you don't get a whole new thread for each head and variation (cluttering up the forum), but you do keep the Batman related stuff visible to those interested.

At some point, the overlap between the Hot Toys DX figure and the custom heads becomes so narrow as to be meaningless.

You're right, nobody can make anyone do anything (besides moderators), but surely we can agree that maybe there are some better ways of doing things than others.

I with Monkey on this one

I can unerstand why people get mad when a pointless thread is made or one is put in the wrong section, but this whole not being able to talk about a custom figure in a thread based on the same character is a bit ridiculous imo, i never see people complain when we start talking about the film/game the character is from in the figures thread..as there are also threads for those.

If someone does want to say something about the dx figure nobody is going to stop them and i'm sure any questions about it will be answered, there is a thread to talk about Monkey's and Adam's sculpts..yes, bobby's thread i think was closed, i can think of no better place to talk about and compare these sculpt's then this one as all these custom sculpts sit on the same figure the MMSDX01.


If all us custom fans had our own thread to talk about all the sculpt's in one place .let's say"The Custom Joker Thread"..this thread would be very boring and i'm sure the same people who are complaining about this issue here would be end up posting in the new custom thread, thus making the whole thing pointless.

Are these dioder puck style lights from Ikea?

They are indeed low temp Ikea dioders. Can't remember their exact title though. I'm pretty pleased with them, they show off the detailing quite well whilst still being quite atmospheric.

 

[monkeyrobotmaster]

Also, it's not as if Hot Toys started this thread or anything Wookster started it to share info from the HT website. There's nothing truly official about this thread or any other about HT stuff, they're all started by board members. I could post about purple and green Joker tacos if I wanted, but that would be silly. Anyway, it's a free world and if we weren't allowed to post custom stuff in here we wouldn't be able to. Again, that's just me though.

80% of my Joker is a DX 01. Just stuck a new head on, can't see the problem discussing that in the DX 01 Joker thread?

 

[intothevoid]

I think for a while the norm became posting custom jokers in the 'hot toys joker thread' but not sure if that thread got closed or something

I agree with mrm , the threads kind of have their own natural life so now were at the point that the dx is old news and people want to show their upgraded or customised versions

 

[DiFabio]

Whatever.

When arguments arise I point out the source. It'll happen again and just discussing this will snowball into something, that's how it is.

 

[monkeyrobotmaster]

Of coarse! That's what keeps things interesting though.
