Hot Toys - MMS DX 11 - TDK: The Joker 2.0 Collectible Figure specs and pics

[Guinnessfan]

And here comes the new OCD thread. On this board, people are never happy with anything and keep whining like six years old kids!


Most of what people don't like won't even be noticeable in 1/6 scale!

First it was DX12, and when they got it in hands, they liked it! Now the Joker! Come on, it's awesome!

If you don't like it, don't pay for it, it's as simple as that!

And if you are rich (well, more rich!), commission a custom that will be exactly the way you like, with Adam's hs and Kato's custom outfit, and be ready to pay much more, because don't expect much better from a mass produced item!

This is a Toy Forum...we are here to discuss toys...if I have an issue with something this IS the place to bring it up.

I'll agree with Avenger so far as to say the original specs said "Each piece of head sculpt is specially hand-painted".

Clearly they changed their approach to painting after the specs were announced. I think most people in this hobby know that happens sometimes.

Don't go all Rainmain about it.

.

Just disappointed...again if I was to bring this up to my girlfriend she'd roll her eyes, but after page after page of complaints about socks I figured this is the place to air my thoughts Anyway I'm still happy with the way it looks, will still definitely get it.

Feel the same way. I have the same two main concerns that you do since this morning.

Agree with everything. We're all here to speak our thoughts and opinions, that's what the boards are for.

What does printed on paint mean?and how do you know its not hand painted?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

To be fair though, I'm the first to go against 'if you don't like don't buy simples' argument, but some people are getting a little excessive with their negativity.

Almost to the extent that the people who like this are made to feel they can't.

Then again, this is SSF.

Or perhaps some just like using eBay, have the extra dough and can't be arsed pre-ordering.

I need to become friends with those people. If they're going to be stupid with money I want to help them direct their spending.

In OMG's close ups of the face there is a subtle dot pattern around the hairline and some of the red smile makeup. In this pic you can see it between the temple and hair. Dot matrix or silkscreen? Dunno. But not hand painted.

I only get one or two figures a year so can afford a little extra on the ones I want.

I just cant believe we sre complaining about flaws that need to be magnified to notice..

Paying off my two tommorow..dont like it, dont buy it....

:

I don't know what everyone is seeing here.

 

[deathbyexile]

i can't see it either, but i am curious about the process. comparing the paint that overlaps the hairline (white on the hair) between luka's pictures and omg's pictures, they aren't exactly the same (or don't appear to be). if it's controlled by a "printer", wouldn't they be exactly the same?

honest question.

 

[Enthus]

This looks fantastic! Hoping it ships early February, cancelling my Bane, though. Don't feel like picking up both, especially since Bane has no ex.

That dot pattern is just texture. Look at the neck

 

[DiFabio]

No, you'll notice that in person. Trust me.


And that's not the only point. These are advertised and sold (in the specs and announcements) as being hand painted. I think that's the gripe people have.


Well, it's not hand painted if a computer and tiny pixels are doing it for them. It's not nitpicking, they're NOT hand painted like they say. Not air brushed, not hand done, not anything like that. We all know these are mass produced, that's fine, but you can literally see the paint details being done by computer technology.

Say that, don't label them as hand painted.

[Rorywan]

Where do you get yours then? Are you in HK?

No, but I have people "on the ground".

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Fairplay man.

*hot toys spy*

This isn't really a flaw. This was a production decision.

No. Study the difference between a one of Rorywan's nice hand painted custom one sixth figures and the paints on this figure.

Now look at the furows of the brow, the area between the chin and lower lip. There's a stiple pattern that's not jpeg artifacting.

I'm still going to enjoy the figure, but accept it for what it is. It is not hand painted.

 

[DiFabio]

Here's the best example of what we're talking about when we say "print" and not hand painted,

 

[Maglor]

Pants are accurately loose... the DX01 was actually a bit too snug.

Gotcha.

Still looks like the V1 has the best pants. BR Joker the best sculpt. DX01 the best coat. This one the best rest, paint job, tailoring.

When this coat is properly futzed you may feel differently.
