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

[Dally]

Can anyone tell me how much toys2 charges for shipping worldwide? I cannot get a quote before I register, but if it's higher than in other shops I don't need to register.

You can register without entering in any of your credit card info or buying anything and then when you add stuff to your cart it will give you a shipped price. I don't know about all around the world, but shipping from Toys2 to PA, USA is around $20 for most items.

This gun on the BR joker seems kind of big, I thought that gun's size should have been remade for this version instead of his pistol, also release the shotgun.

the HT machine gun IS bigger!
even before they arrived at my door (just lookin at people pics) i know it is off scale.
i dont know which one is off scale, the gun or the HT body

Definitely the gun.. which is weird for the simple fact that it COMES with the hand gun. Just compare the two and you can see the Machine gun is out of scale. The handle + trigger are HUGE. And overall the entire thing is too big.

i don't get it, i mean, HT is an expert in military figure.
doesn't make any sense at all.

The Joker has a hunch in the film and if you look at the poster of him in the street holding the machine gun he has very broad shoulders. perhaps a narrowed shoulder true type is not always best?

 

[PapitoMX]

Guess I gonna need to stock up on these when they're up for pre-order....... sucks to think that I might need to replace the bodies of my other HT DK Figs....maybe.

In 1/6 scale though, you have to make the base body work with the costuming to get the overall look correct.

Narrow shoulder TT may seem wrong for Ledger Joker as a body alone, but with the thicknesses of the costuming elements, it may be necessary so that the overall look isn't beyond what it should be.

Which is why I feel if there is an MMSDX Batman coming, it requires a really unique body, not even this TT, to accommodate the proportions of Bale in the suit.

Joker's shoulders look fine in the proto images, so I'd stay a standard TT would probably hurt the look.

Ahh makes sense. I took the grey jacket off my V1 Joker so he just wears his purple coat on top of his shirt and vest meaning he looses his broad shoulders so I'm looking at it from that point of view. I totally agree that a slim shoulder work really well to accomodate all the levels of clothing. if the new DX Joker seems bulky with the inner jacket when i dress my true type im not too fussed about removing it but i can see that others may wish to keep the figure true to the film and therefore keep his jacket. I used the V1 joker jacket on my bank robber and it fits his body so much better

 

[MaulFan]

I bought a spare jacket and cut the sleeves off to make it a vest, improves the arms but keeps the film look right, but you either need to by a spare like me or be willing to damage the coat beyond factory condition.

Cool. Any word yet on when toysquare will carry it or pre-orders of it?

Well, HT's military figures are great, but the one sticking point, at least in the past for them, has been that their weapons have been a bit too big for the figures. The pistols seem to be the only ones that are pretty consistent with regards to scale.

 

[Salvation/Damnation]

the the necks seem kind of long?

 

[shhbane]

So is this TTF the one they will be using for the MMS Joker?

Yup. Smart of Hot Toys to promote this with the DX Joker too.

I think because of the slimmer shoulders it makes the neck appear longer. Once the figure has clothes on the dimensions appear correct and his neck will look right.

That's the problem, that particularly neck size is only good if the clothing is layered enough to fill in the gap. One problem with HT is their necks are a bit on the longer side, a lot of them don't look bad because of hair and clothes, but some stand out, like short hair muscle body figures like Drago and Rocky III/IV.

noticed this since I saw their Dark Knight Batman with the Bale head
