Hot Toys--TDK-1/6th The JOKER (Bank Robber version) full spec and hi-res pics

Changed the head on mine a few days ago but looks like the little ring separated from inside the neck and got stuck in the neck adapter. Now the head won't stay on. What is the best way to re-glue this back? I haven't run into this before and wanted to ask before trying anything...

Crazy glue. Chances are it will come Off again next time you try to change the plug. It's very common with "necked" heads.

All true. Make sure you glue it in on the right side too.

This is probably an ancient question guys.. but when changing heads - do you need to warm up the neck area first with a hair dryer or something?

I imagine that wouldn't be great for the paint, but yanking the head off it's shoulders - cold, would be half the reason why those pieces in there break or come undone. The reason I ask, is because I haven't opened mine yet, & I'm sure I'll be asking this question down the road anyway..

 

[TheFiend]

^ Although I have never had to do it, yes, I know others have used hot water or a blow dryer to loosen the neck. It makes it a little more pliable.

Just another general question guys..

I forget which thread it was brought up in recently, but the point was made about folks leaving their figures in the box for too long, & the chemicals between the paint, glue & whatever else on the figure, reacting because of being cooped up in that tiny space. Those little moisture packets they put in there only help for so long. They later discover on opening them, that things have deteriorated somewhat on the figure..

Has this happened to anyone here with this Joker? I'm eager to know, because I STILL haven't opened mine up yet.

Cheers folks.

I've probably asked this before but what replacement body should I use for my Joker? Is it a narrow shouldered?

 

[BB&WSF]

Ideally it is the narrow TT. However, you can use the regular TT too. I used reg for mine because the shoulders used to droop on the narrow. Didn't find it difficult to put the shirt and coat on it. An old pic (though you can't see the shoulders fully):

In fact I read and saw a pic as well, in the DX01 thread (or somewhere, not too sure) that somebody used an adv. TT for the Honour Guard Joker; which I never imagined was possible (since the coat/jacket is so narrow).

 

[BlitzOUT]

Cheers BB&WSF!

I'll try and find time to update the body. A little scared about handling the shirt however, as the buttons come off very easily

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah, well.. I haven't gotten around to it.

You're right though, I should have by now. I guess it's my fault if his make up is more splodgy than normal.

Nice BRJ pic maglor.

Edit: I saw that you sneaky bastard!

 

[Maglor]

Sorry, it was the wrong thread.



Here's a correct pic:

 

[ZaCHw117]

Awesome pic. Is your nurse j on that new kaustic body?

 

[Maglor]

Nah, just a narrow TT.

Gonna try the HT muscle body first (since I already have it, and don't know what else to use it for). Depending on how I like it I may get the kaustic body.
