Did anyone else order with Joe? I can't remember when he said he'd have them in to ship.
 
A pic of mine, I think this is one of HT's best pieces to date. Awesome figure...

FINALLY got mine yesterday...very happy with this figure now i waiting for TDK batman,br joker and maybe i'll get police officer joker.
 
The more I look at this figure, the more I like it. It just seems to have such a visual presence that it draws people in. More of my firends that have seen the figures have commented on this figure than the others.
 
It definitely is the most visually powerful, of course even in the film Two-Face was the most powerful visual, it's just a very raw and unworldly look.
 
Without seeing Cop Joker's, I find Dent's box to be the weakest in the art department, you don't get any good shots of the Two-Face burns, and one of the images looks not even like the figure but a concept art or something of the burns.
 
I liked the box, i thought the 'federal' theme worked well, but for me when it comes down to graphics and images working together then the BR Joker and two ALIEN astronauts are my favourites by a long way. SS did some clever things with the construction of their SW and LOTR lines, and I liked the the old DaJoint ZMDC boxes, but the BR Joker and ALIEN astronauts are outstanding.
 
I'm biased against BR Joker because it broke the pattern set forth by the first 3 TDK figures, and I like consistency in a line so for that, I look at it negatively, might judge it better if I could see it for a lone piece but I see it as what it isn't.

I'd say the first 3 TDK figures and Sideshow's LOTR 1/6 box art are my favorite uses of graphics to date.
 
whats up with the name plate on the stand I've heard it says two face and I've heard it says harvey dent. Which is it? or can you switch em out?

I think in general HT sucks when it comes to box art. And the funny thing is, it has nothing to do with actual art design. It has to do with the completely odd decision by HT to consistently release finished figures in boxes covered by prototype pics which usually NEVER look like the figure you're getting. For better or for worse. Like for instance, I think most people agree, the TDK Batman was for the most part significantly improved from Proto to finished product. Yet ALL the artwork on the TDK Batman box has the inferior Proto pics.

:confused:

And in some cases the differences are so jarring, it's laughable to think HT has no problem with it. Borg, Wolf and P2 come to mind because HT drastically changed the paint schemes for all three of those figures yet the box art reflects the prototypes. Which have different colors.
