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

It can be, yeah...but I'm personally not really willing to steam, iron, comb, stretch, sew, rub deer piss all over, cure, sun-dry, then bake for 4 hours at 420 degrees to make it look half-decent. So...yeah. DX01 coat is fine. I have the EB Joker if I want a good outfit. This is just because I got tired of the BR sculpt. I'm flat-out sick of having to do a week's worth of work at least to make my $300 figures look worth a damn.

i love the dx01, so i ain't dissing it. just a comparative observation.

he definitely looks nicely disheveled in the "older" suit.

 

[cr0w]

Oh yeah I know you're not dissing it at all. I'm just irritated with just how much work has to go into making a lot of the new stuff up to par. I've had enough with the DX12, I don't want to have to mod anything else, least of all fabric which is so easy to screw up.

I think that's fair enough actually. I've actually still kept parts of DX01. What do you think of the new head Crow?
Do you think it's a bit strange in hand? I'm still undecided on the new heads.

Aside from the runny make-up under the eyes which is always going to be an issue with me because I HATE the teardrop look everyone is obsessed with, I think it's just about as close to perfect as you're going to get at this scale.

It's basically an improved BR sculpt with PERS, in my eyes. I like the expression, I think especially viewed from the sculpt's right side, it's dead-on. The paint is great, easily HT's best Joker paint yet, aside from those friggin' tears. Honestly, with Joker sculpts you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. There's not a single 3D sculpt that is ever going to look 100% like he did in the movie because that son of a ***** changed facial expressions every .0007 seconds, and a static sculpt just is never going to look right to anyone's eyes. Even Adam's, while they had great Ledger likenesses, had issues balancing that and his performance as Joker. The one thing this sculpt has over every other one I've seen in this scale is personality and life. It's not drab, dour or expressionless, it gives you options, and it captures the character which is the most important thing to me.

So, in short, I love the sculpt. And I was a harsh critic of it from early pictures.

Interesting. I found with the reg sculpt, that I liked it from left or right profile. Each looked like ledger. But from the front it's like they tried to get two expressions into one.

Lots of words. Words that are used to make perfect sense.

Excellent pics cr0w and I agree with what you've said aswell.

Agreed. Only difference is that I felt that way from the moment I saw it. I've never understood the criticisms for it.

Same thing with the DX12 BW sculpt. Has always looked awesome to me, from proto to in hand.

 

[Viking Spawn]

The interrogation dio fits perfectly in the detolf....

My take on Grumpy...

Good looking display!

 

[Devil_666]

Any reason why no one (including OMG) has really highlighted the shoe knife? Did everyone forget about that feature?

 

[cr0w]

 

[InspectorSpacetime]

<<just the dx11 head on a dx1 body but regardless looks good

having said that, seeing that after all the pics of the dx11 you can see where some areas REALLY need improvement like the fit of the coat and the shoes and the shirt pattern

 

[Gipetto0812]

awesome Cr0w!

not sure if you've said it yet (and sorry for asking if you did), but what's your opinion on the sculpt/paint??

EDIT: nevermind, found your opinion must've skipped over it somehow

 

[cr0w]

Yeah it's that very long-winded post up there.

You should hear me try to give directions.

idk man I'm pretty bad with directions myself. I'm that kind of person that uses places as reference points. I hardly know street names

 

[Darkavatar]

Don't bother with the box! And leave the accessories till last. Jump right to the figure please Mike!

Yeah FFS!

I say go for broke! Start with the brown shipper...

**** it. Tell us about the shipping labels and bubblewrap too.

I have actually seen that mentioned in a review how sideshow puts shipping labels on their shipping boxes. The guy was really angry about it!

Aside from the runny make-up under the eyes which is always going to be an issue with me because I HATE the teardrop look everyone is obsessed with, I think it's just about as close to perfect as you're going to get at this scale.

Yeah I hate it to.

Even Adam's, while they had great Ledger likenesses, had issues balancing that and his performance as Joker.

It's not drab, dour or expressionless, it gives you options, and it captures the character which is the most important thing to me.

From the pictures I have seen, I some what I see agree, while this sculpt does give personality and life, I am not sure if I see much likeness to Ledger. So far I am agreeing with Rory that the normal sculpt is not that impressive. However, I do see the expressions of the Joker from the TDK, so IMO does look like the character from TDK.

 

[Darkavatar]

IMO that coat looks better than the DX11 one there, it just needs to be ironed, perhaps you should buy some gloves to? Anyway great pics cr0w!
