1/6 Hot Toys Romero Joker

Hot Toys cares not for anniversaries in the vast majority of cases.

They have proven that, but the free publicity for the show and character was a missed opportunity.

If the 50th anniversary wasn't a great time to put these up, when would be a better time? Although the Joker scared the crap out of me as a kid, he is the most recognizable and sought after villain. Would be an instant buy for me and everyone I know who loves Batman.

The 100th anniversary is what the are probably waiting for. There is a chance i could still be alive in 2066 to finally order it but it would probably be delayed a couple years and it would have to be delivered to my grave

I think is a new animated 1966 movie coming out next month.




So Hot Toys will likely ignore that.

Yep. It's being released October 10th. There's a trailer for it:

Too bad Adam West won't be here to enjoy this[emoji20]

I've gotten out of the HT game for the most part. This is one of 3 figures that is keeping me from totally shutting the door. Hopefully, HT comes through.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Yep, I would buy it.

 

[photoboy]

i absolutely want one! it would go great with '66 Batman & Robin

 

[Kleinesoldaten]

No way I'd pass up a Romero Joker.

 

[s6001]

Same here. Not a high priority for me but if they release it, I'd definitely get it.

 

[franpincho]

They did it guys!

I knew you were gonna post that here.

It's a travesty if the Romero Joker never goes into production, right now it's not looking good.

With a mustache and a repaint, she could pass for Romero... Maybe....

 

[Plastic Bateman]

They did it guys!

That has to be one of the most realistic 1/6 headsculpts I've ever seen. Too bad they chose to waste such a prodigious effort on a Suicide Squad figure of all things

 

[**16k**]

Head looks god, but body... Not so much.

That's why I had a custom one done.
I don't understand HT! They make some crazy obscure figures sometimes and don't complete wanted ones.
Also 66 Batmobile is the most sot after Batmobile in my opinion and that's a scrap too. Shame shame HT[emoji35]

I've heard rumors that the '66 Batmobile and the Millennium Falcon were abandoned because of production costs. Personally, I think they should just mark up the price and do a smaller run. Let us pay for it! I agree, it's the most sought after Batmobile.

As for why the Romero Joker hasn't been made yet, I don't get it. Production costs? I doubt it. The prototype has already been made, and there's definitely demand for it. Maybe they have a limited budget for overhead, and figure they'll sell more Suicide Squad figures, even if it was a horrible movie. There's no way that a Romero joker would sell less than Stripper Pole Barbie.

I'm not sure I want to live in a world where you can get a third figure of a character like Harley from that film before we get a single Romero Joker.

I believe Hot Toys knows we'll buy the Romero Joker and 1966 Batmobile no matter when they release it. They can't afford to do this with the newer Marvel/DC licenses. It's clear where their priorities are. It sucks but that's just how it is.
