Sold my original Joker , I'll pick this up if it's good enough.

BR Joker was pretty close, no?

Close, but long overshadowed by some customs. Also, just put the BR joker next to DX09 - yeah, HT can do MUCH better now

Also, the shirt, vest and tie on the DX01 outfit are particularly badly tailored IMO. Coat is allright, but again plenty of room for improvement.

I think that's the best for mass produced clothing. You can't compare it with kato's work, dude

Agreed. Though it (BRJ headsculpt) certainly was incredible and game-changing at the time.

Actually just comparing to figures HT has done since.
The DX09 again is a good example. FAR better tailored outfit than the DX01. Just look at the shirt collar for instance

I think it has to do with material. If I'm not mistaken, hailim of Harue was in charge of the tailoring of the dx01.

I hope Kato is in charge of the outfit this time around

I would rather get a Man-Bat. We don't have any 1/6 scale Man-Bat figures yet.

Yeah, it does have to do with the material, HT could have easily sourced a better material for the DX01. Hailim did a great job with the proto outfit but clearly, much of his work was lost in the production versions.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kato has been involved in the DX 2.0, but definitely not aware if that's the case.

I'm sure sideshow will oblige sooner or later. I think their 1/6 Comic Batman line will be a winner

I really don't see the BR HS being better than DX01 tbh, maybe it's something you have to see in person to appreciate :

Re: Hot Toys: The Dark Knight - The Joker DX 2.0

I'm so glad I learned of this before spending a regrettable amount of money on the DX01. I can't wait to see it.

I'll wait for the 1/4.

Then again.....

You. Will. Buy.

Yeah, the '89 Joker has a much better outfit.

Wait... Kato works for Hot Toys?

I would rather get a Man-Bat. We don't have any 1/6 scale Man-Bat figures yet.

...that was a joke right?

It'd be nice if this was the first Batman figure they unveiled, as it's the one that was teased the longest.

We'll he's not been as active as he was before on the boards, but i'm in touch with him regarding the Bruce Wayne suit he's doing.

I know he's doing some projects for Hot Toys and Sideshow, but isn't working full time for either.
