HT DX 2.0 TDK Joker - teaser image

[Buttmunch]

I think as long as the socks are the same pattern and general colors it's kind of OCD to expect more than that. Customs socks is going too far.

Considering this will be their 4th attempt at making this figure, they have no excuse not to get the right sock pattern and colors. The first release was forgivable since it was pre-release. The DX had no excuse IMO. And this even more so. If HT can't get this widely known detail right by now, they don't deserve to be in this business. It might be a minor detail to some, but they've put tiny details of less notice into their figures than this. Getting the big details right means nothing if you don't get the little ones right. Its the little details that make an average figure become amazing.

Socks, suspenders AND the correct orange lining? You guys ask too much.

Have you followed HT's progression with doing Predators BM? They've never gone after absolute screen accuracy there. And look at the liberties they took with Big Chap Alien. HT will give you nice, high end figures. But in terms of accuracy to source material they can be really hit-or-miss. Don't know if it is a conscious design decision, something mandated by the license holder, or just a lack of attention, but we've seen a fair amount of that.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, something will definitely be off on this new Joker.

Most likely, it will have that damn red lining again AND the same socks. But they might fix the suspenders.

Not playing catch up this time. I see were back on the sock thing again. Any news that matters?

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, socks are off.

 

[Rzeznikk]

Meh. I couldnt care less about the socks. They could give him black socks for all I care.

Blasphemer!!!

He's drunk. Again.

Ok, then what about scene specific accessories. How about shard of glass, cell phone, knives, interchangeable dio.....goes from interrogation to jail cell??? Justa thought.

Cell phone? For his call?

I want the fat guy with the bomb inside him.

To me, that can be a totally different thing. Its one thing to make something screen accurate and another to make it the way it was intended to look on screen. For example, would you want a T1 BD T-800 to look like the crappy puppet they used to get the endo under the skin or like Arnold like it was intended to? Things like that I don't mind them taking liberties one. Especially when it can end up looking BETTER than what was in the movie.

Patterns and colors aren't the same thing. Its either right or its not. Its like giving the Joker a yellow jacket because they felt like it.

I just feel like they've done the Heath Joker so many times now that if they're going to do it again, they shouldn't screw up ANYTHING. Them just using the same innaccurate sock pattern and colors is just plain lazy at this point.

Oh, you don't know this crowd.

I think I have some idea. I know how they are paying $900 for custom heads. Like Difabio, I abhor customs.

I think custom shops pay HT to not get socks right!

What a dirty dirty business toy collecting has become.

 

[plasmid303]

The shirt is the same and tie as well (iirc). I bet they re-purpose everything but the coat and head sculpt.

 

[dominishin]

The shirt and tie are certainly not the same. I'm looking at my DX01 right now.

Shard of glass or no buy.

 

[Garemlin]

Yeah, if they don't get his socks right, I'm gonna toss every HT figure I own in the dumpster, set them on fire, piss on them to put the fire out, then set them on fire again.

Donation before destruction are great words to live by.

I've been thinking maybe with this long wait and finally a teaser coupled with that talk"....he's ready. Coming soon. Stay tuned" that maybe HT is trying to take after EB with specs and soon releasing the figure. Not the usual 6+ months were used to with HT. Just oen more thing to compete with EB over. Just a thought.
