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

[Darkavatar]

Guys, just FYI, since this thing photographs so oddly, the color in-hand is basically the same color as the photos of the proto in the original promo pics on the first page of this thread. Looked through other pics and that's the best comparison to the color in-hand.

Also, the vest isn't as bright as you'd think.

'salmon' orange lining on the coats...finally...it's kind of surreal!

Thanks for the info laudanum, I am pretty disappointed how you said the buttons fall off easy.

After reading the laudanum review and watching the kidulttoyshop YouTube unboxing, I'm getting excited to receive this figure.

Crappy phone pic, incoming!

once again, this is NOT the shade of purple in hand. It's actually quite weird how completely wrong the color comes out in a photo.

Great pic!

I just saw this in person.

This is the best 1:6 Heath Ledger Joker out there.

I agree. I @ all the negativity over this.

I agree. I @ all the negativity over this.

:

Other than the bathrobe coat debate what other negativity is there? I have only seen two complaints saying they do not like the figure on here.

 

[Kamandi]

Some people have mistaken analysis for negativity, and customizers are always going to look for a way to push to the next level.

Out of certain angles it looks good but I can't honestly see the likeness on the above quoted picture... yeah yeah I'm blind...

Like the sculpt.

I'm not usually one to nitpick, but the furry coat does bother me.

Decisions, decisions.

No as laudanum says the pic is crappy, I wouldn't go that far but it is probably not as good as the other close up pics of the sculpt on here. I liked the pic because it shows most of the figure and the figure does not look too bulky in that pic. However, it is not a good pic to judge the sculpt on by its own.

I like the sculpt based on that same pic so....eye of the beholder.

 

[Wulf]

Yeah you're right Darkavatar. Just saying from some angles they captured his likeness and from others not so much. But this is definitely the best mass-produced 1/6 joker out there imo. Will be keeping my pre-order.. If i don't like the pers headsculpt in hand I'll just use the laughing sculpt which to me looks amazing.

another picture at a SLIGHTLY different angle.

its really tough to get my phone's camera to focus on something this size and maintain proper detail. I wish I had a better camera but I can't afford it! 3A Rex just kicked me in the money groin.

I can't wait to dry off with my Hot Toys Kato Joker Coat.

Yeah so do I, I am just saying there are better pics to judge the sculpt on then that pic because Dracula was just basing the likeness on that pic alone going by his comments.

I agree with everything you said.

it's extremely soft on top of being teh fuzzy. you can dry and pamper yourself at the same time.

 

[Jackhepburn]

Everyone has a problem with the coat and here's me completely fine with it

Not displaying mine with the coat anyway

 

[deathbyexile]

i'm with you. nothing so wrong with it.

My detailed run down:

-everything screams quality

-The Clothing: is tailored wonderfully, every last bit. the fit is excellent in every way. the overcoat is not baggy like some feared. My DX came out of the box PERFECTLY futzed. I was amazed. The tie and shirt collar are things to behold coming from other suited figures.

-the jacket: IS a bit furry. not pimp daddy level, but yeah its there. you have to be closer to notice, but in some areas it's very noticeable, particularly the shoulders and lapels. it is also going to be a dust magnet, especially larger pieces of lint and fiber.i put him down on my bed for a minute and he picked up a lot of fibers from just that. going to need to wash and dry your hands with microfiber cloth everytime you want to futz the thing.

the fit, the drape and cut however are top notch, including the shoulders. those are non-issues. it is maybe slightly heavier than the DX01 coat but not as heavy as some might be assuming. the sleeve ends ARE flared. The shoulders don't come as horizontally boxy as the prototype but they do remain straight and flat, not crumply like Dx01. the lapels are kept in place by tiny magnets and they are strong and 'click' right into place. I wish they went this route for the vest because it's the same old snaps and i'm never going to open them again, they just feel way too frail. as for the coat, even the manual tells you to not rub the material or expose it to certain chemicals. when hot toys bothers to tells you something is delicate, you know they mean it. the coat is extremely soft. for those wanting to weather the coat, you might want to think twice about it and make sure the materials you plan to use don't contain the chemicals listed. also, thanks to the cut of the suit, no cutting or modding of the inner coat will be needed imo. overall the material may bother some but there's no doubt in the high, above-standard quality and cut of said material.

edit: the purple of the coat photographs badly. No offense to OMG's photos but i think this is an overall issue with the purple. the color is far more like jack's joker and more screen accurate imo. the pictures of this guy so far make the coat look like a weird violet purple with a sort of berry/blue tint to it. this is not the case in hand and in basic room lighting.

-PERS sculpt: is amazing. Microdots or whatever for me are impossible to see even when I'm looking at it up close. I can't see any on mine at all and I've strained to try. It's just too small to discern with the naked eye, at least mine. if this is the future of Hot Toys paint apps, then I welcome it with open arms. the difference that is so clear in some of the zoomed pics between the eyebrow paint and the under eye 'drip' is very difficult to see or notice in hand. the PERS system is disguised extremely well. took me a while to figure out how to access it!

-Laughing sculpt is better than expected. remember the figure exists in 3 dimensions in hand. in hand things are always different since it's actually...well there in front of you and not a static fixed image. i wasnt excited about this sculpt and now i am. one odd thing is that it is a bit...glossy. glossy in a way that the PERS sculpt isn't. not a problem but odd.

-Accessories: are top notch. the dio is really cool, lots of love put into it. maybe the picture used is a bit low resolution but the quality of it overall, the thickness, the way it fits together with velcro, the 'mirror' like material put into the sides, all of it is excellent. not just a glorified piece of cardboard stuck inside.

-the table and chair: do not feel like cheap plastic after thoughts. they're solid, sturdy, come with faux velvet bottoms to avoid scratching any surface you display them on and even the lamp is die cast metal and magnetic.

that's all i gotta say for now, any questions feel free to ask. overall i'm pretty overwhelmed by the figure, but the coat will be divisive for people still even though i think it will win over a good amount of those on the fence about it once they have it in hand.

Thanks for the review, who knew the lamp was die cast and magnetic, in the unboxing vid it looked like the flimsiest piece of plastic ever

Gonna be a long agonising wait for this figure
