Action Figure Joaquin Phoenix "JOKER" Speculation Thread

[Wor-Gar]

Wow -- just checked my shipping and not only did Joker leave HK... its already landed in Los Angeles. Expected delivery Tues 21st!

Wife texted me that the mail lady came through. Waiting for me at home.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Go home immediately.


BTW, for those keeping score at home -- look how baggy and low the crotch is on those Joker pants in that gif.

Also, pretty sure the pads in those padded shoulders on the ToysEra need to be removed as a start.

Color looks good to me on the CEN-M13, but the fit just isn't Joker. Its way too tailored.

Justin and gogul's videos have convinced me that ToysEra will work for me.

I think it could probably be loosened up some and made to look frumpier and less perfect. Which would probably be easier than trying to narrow up the TE suit...

I think the color on the ebay suit matches the film color grade. The other figures matches real world colors.

That's likely true. A dark tea bath might help cut the brightness for those wanting a more movie-look Joker suit.

Maybe TE used some of those brightly lit pics for reference...

Yikes, no. Have you ever bought those ebay suits before? I have bought several, same type as the Joker suit -- they are strangely made -- can't change the lapels because there's no suite material underneath -- and they allow so little excess material to "let out" the suit you'd be lucky to gain an 1/16th of an inch. No way to let out the waist either.

If you sew or stitch at all, its much easier to tighten up a suit (legs and sleeves) than it is to let it out. I do it on almost all my custom figure suits -- take in the sleeves, pant legs and sometimes the back. Super easy.

My movie memory seems to lean toward the color in the two picture on the outside of your ref -- the one on the steps and the one on display. Like I said, a bit of a cranberry color.

This Toy Center suit on ebay is the first one I've seen that appears to be the right color. Probably a bit too fitted, but at this point I'd rather have that than the ultra wide, bright red TE suit.

If anybody grabs this one, please post a review.

No I didn't mean letting out the stitches, just pulling and stretching and water treating the outfit to loosen it up somewhat. I've done it a few times with different outfits and it seems to work. Although not sure how this one might be made.

Oh OK. I've done that too for slight loosening. But you really need some 'tools' -- like long round handles on kitchen utensils -- to push into sleeves and legs so it can set overnight to really loosen things.

Still, for true reshaping, there's nothing like letting out the stitching though or re-stitching. I've come to really enjoy doing that as part of my customizing. I highly recommend it.

The two center pictures show just how close the cut of the suit is (and maybe even real world color). I think I already know what it will take to get the look.

Guys, just uploaded my review for the TOP-004 Joker head sculpt, here's the link

I don't like the way the removable hair pieces look. It should blend better if they're going to do that, you can totally see the separation looking from the front.

 

[RaBu]

somebody got this figure already?

 

[Doodlebob7]

Amazing how we're comparing all these trash sculpts to the toys era only because it didn't come out perfectly. Had it come out just like the proto we wouldn't even be looking at the other ones. It's the only one with good likeness and great sculpted features. Hoping batch two has more paint app applied since you can't even say the paint app is bad one it, it's just not enough layers.

Joker V2 will make me sad clown.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The heads look strangely good in this guy's review...

 

[jedijim3002]

I would have liked to see the color in this photo.

 

[davejames]

Yup, almost more like a blood red there.
