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

[iMan]

Yeah and congratulations to whoever got mine to. Did they refund you the NRD persuazion?

I finally got mine refunded!

Do you have to ask for the refund? I cancelled mine yesterday or the day before so I am curious.

Well I spoke to someone on live chat and they actually told me if you want a refund call us. So I called them right away and gave them all my details and my card was eventually refunded after a few days but it took a while for it to go into my bank.

So I looked at my bank statement today and saw the transaction for the refund from sideshow collectables.

So I didn't ask them but I did contact them so maybe that is what you have to do, otherwise you won't get one if u just click cancel, it seems.

Ok. Thanks. That sucks. I hate calling SS only because I have to stay up real late or wake up super early because of the time difference.

Yeah I could imagine but I am pretty sure you have to actually call them like you cant do live chat or email. If you want your money back you have to call them directly and speak to someone.

They told me this is because so you can give them your entire credit card number, so they can process the refund.

My thoughts.
Packaging- I really like this one. Much better than the original DX boxes,DX01 and DX02. It doesn't have that crappy semi-gloss finish on the outside of the box where if you just barely touch it there's scrapes left behind. But beyond that the art is better. I dig the crouched laughing Jester on the front and the glossy " HA HA HA!!" in the inner flap.
Accessories- Well, there is enough here to please everyone. Well, most of us. A few things that fans have been asking for but not everything. But for me it's just fine. They included the shoe knife which I don't care for.Speaking of which, this seems like one of those things that everyone asks for but never uses when they have it. I mean, think of how you would display him with it. Anyway, the pencil and the selection of knives are a nice touch and welcome. The finish on the machine gun looks different to me but I can't be sure because I don't have the old one anymore. Now the finish on the glock is definitely different and looks more on the cheap side compared to the last one. Much like the hand gun that came with the DX10. The chair and table are nice for those of us that don't have it and finally gives some of us the interrogation scene set up we've wanted. I like the faux rust on the stand. Still not sure how I feel about the purple border though.
Suit- This thing is nice. It took me a little of guard. Now I don't know if it's because I had the previous Jokers and was still expecting something along the lines of that or my lack of faith in a mass production run being able to put out the same level of quality of a custom. Either way this thing is an upgrade on every level. The purple coat is nowhere near as fuzzy looking in hand. I've taken pics and I can't get it to look the way I see it in hand.. It's very soft and it kind of "flows" when moved. The vest,sport coat, shirt and tie are wonderful. All of which, with the exception of the vest, drove me up the wall on the DX01. All pieces here are sharp and speak quality. I like the shoes more than I thought I would and actually have what looks like a bit of weathering already done to them. The pants are fine with me but I think I may prefer the V1 pants to these just for articulation reasons but I don't think of it as a step down by any means. And the socks. They're different. Are they accurate? Are they exactly the same color as the film? I don't know. I like them more.
Head sculpts- This is the toughest part. For me, I actually like all the HT sculpts they've done of the Joker and can see Ledger in every one of them to varying degrees of course. They're all pretty caricature-ish. With this one, is it better? I guess. I think there is a lot of Ledger in there. Like most PERS sculpts the likeness can be stronger or weaker depending on where you position the eyes. This one is no exception and actually may be the strongest example of such. I like the sculpts but at this late date is it a slam dunk? No, I don't think so. We've seen dozens of Ledger Joker sculpts over the past few years it's gotten to the point where it's extremely difficult to review these sculpts on their own merit. You're gonna compare them. The likeness is there but I don't think it's the end all be all of Ledger sculpts and I see me buying a replacement somewhere down the road. But that's the nature of these head sculpt, ennit? But for now it'll do. It has a lot of character and potential for some really fun poses/displays. I don't like the laughing as much as I thought I would but honestly when everyone else was demanding and craving a laughing sculpt I was one of the only ones that was "meh'. Mine do have a shine to them which I could do without but it's nothing I'm going to lose my **** over. It is what it is.
Overall Id' give it an 8.5/10 and that's high praise for me. I rarely give 9's or 10's to anything whether its a movie or a figure or otherwise.

Ok thanks. I guess losing an hour of sleep is worth $27.50.

Yeah well it is only one hour.

 

[iMan]

Yeah well it is only one hour.

Do you know there hours of operation?

 

[persuazion]

Nice review Fiend very in depth. You sound like me when I first got this as I had mixed feelings of the normal head sculpt then and still do. However, I am not as sure as you that the likeness is there, sometimes I think it is it sometimes I don't.

I finally got mine refunded!

No I dident get it refunded yet. I didn't even know you could get that back.

[cr0w]

Sorry cr0w don't get what you mean? Are you saying the popular opinion now is that Hot Toys sculpts are better than customs? :

No, I mean that when the BobbyC sculpts were the new hot thing, people lost it when I dared point out things that were off. The sculpts are slanted, like he sculpted them from an angle instead of a fully 3d sculpt, the paint and hair threw the whole thing off at 1/6 scale, and just generally that they weren't worth the $1k. And Adam's...his first few were great, then they just started going downhill. Blakus939's was phenomenal, the two laughing sculpts he did were great, but everything after that, with one or two exceptions, wasn't up to par.

But you know how it is, criticize any customizers and you're an *******.

 

[Rzeznikk]

If you do not mind me asking why do you want to sell it? Do you think the one that comes with the Joker 2.0 is good enough? Or you just do you not want to display your Joker in the diorama scene?

Thanks again Rzeznikk but you did mention you will take more of them. In that case could you probably take more distant shots of it please?

I actually like the HT back drop better. I know that sounds silly and I got the Xces one because I had planned on using it over the HT backdrop but I prefer the yellow tinge to the HT version over the white Xces version. I suppose I could always paint the Xces but I also like how the HT comes with both walls versus the Xces only displaying one.

Ill try get some more pics today otherwise this weekend :

I have read the thread cr0w people wanted to kill you for saying that the work Bobby did on the sculpts were horrible, despite the fact that you said his Jokers in other scales were fine.

And Adam's...his first few were great, then they just started going downhill. Blakus939's was phenomenal, the two laughing sculpts he did were great, but everything after that, with one or two exceptions, wasn't up to par.

Really I thought Adams first ones were so so, except the sleeping look aka promo look Joker and laughing Joker and mob scene one was ok. I mean mine is just so so and this one in the pic below here is horrible.

I thought he only got better, which ones sucked after that or are there too many to mention that suck? Can show us Blakus939's one please if u have the pic pleae?

Yeah I thought the Hot Toys one was a better color to and your right it looks better with both walls.



The only thing I actually hate about the Joker 2.0 one is that it made out of cardboard!

 

[cr0w]

Blakus' was the one that was holding the broken pool cue. I don't have a pic handy at the moment. It was one of Adam's first efforts that he sold.

Any word on when these will start shipping from SS? I have the regular version PO'd and the wait is driving me crazy.

Ditto. Need this ****er now.

March 20th for the Ex. The site says April for regular but so does the AE newsletter so maybe the regular will ship a little earlier. AE is generally a month after SS.
