Re: New Cop Joker Image

Sadly ActionHQ is no longer taking pre-orders on any future products. :/

They're only getting the figures when they get them. In stock only.
 
Re: New Cop Joker Image

Seems like a lose-lose: if it's priced below $200, people will freak about what they paid for Two-Face and BR Joker as single figures. If it's over $200 -- say $240 -- then people will be faced with a very hard choice to plunk down that kind of money to get their hands on yet another purple-suitted Joker.

If it's Cop Joker with an extra head and purple coat with grenades, as long as it's TF price or higher, that's fine comparing those two. I'd say a package like that and Two-Face would be about equal.

If it includes full purple costume garments, even if not another TT body, and a second head and comes in at TF price, yeah I'll feel ripped off about TF.
 
Re: New Cop Joker Image

Does anyone else think the sculpt looks a bit like a Green Mile Tom Hanks with a Chelsea smile?
 
Re: New Cop Joker Image

It's definitely not the greatest sculpt ever, from that one picture at least. On first sight it's got the heaviness, the overly big features of the V.1. Given the hype I would expect perfection, especially as this is what we've had with the BR extra head, the forthcoming Dutch sculpt, etc.

As for the new DX branding, I'm basically against certain figures becoming open only to collectors who are rich. I can take it with Enterbay Lee, as an exception, and so far I've been able to get everything I really want by narrowing down my choices to the best of the best of figure releases; in fact, it's improved my collection because I've pruned it, and I've done stuff like sell extra heads I didn't like or didn't have a use for. But a whole new breed of figures that I would feel stupid buying, because they're so expensive, yet which seem essential, might make me reconsider whether I want to continue buying stuff or just withdraw for a few years and enjoy what I've got.

Anyone else notice it currently says 'POLICE' on the hat-badge on the figure, whereas it should actually say 'GCPD'?

Get THAT fixed HT. :monkey1

So does anyone reckon HT would fix that? Have they changed errors on proto figs in the past, besides sculpt tweaks?

Exactly. I got into the 1/6 hobby about 6 months ago now, knowing $150 was a price I was going to pay for the absolute best 1/6 figures in the hobby. Now they are going to be $250 or more? I would have stuck with 1:1 props or Premium Formats for that price.

Possibly, but without knowing for sure, they may be trying to get future use out of some of the cop parts and the generic police would allow them to do that, if that emblem's a common police one minus the GCPD part.
 
Re: New Cop Joker Image

Well that's assuming they mean literal month, they tend to do the newsletter once a month unless something special comes up, so it could mean the month period to the next newsletter. If it's within a week or so great, but I'm not getting excited just yet.
 
Re: New Cop Joker Image

Sorry Terminator, MF just pointed out another possiblity above, which I did not consider. :(


Here's hoping it is literal month.
 
Re: New Cop Joker Image

Well you just have to use caution, sometimes the translation in these things isn't exactly what it seems.
 
Re: New Cop Joker Image

Hey, if I end up with my dream mob meeting Joker figure out of all this, and the Cop Joker, photo time is on like Donkey Kong :rock One face looking morbidly evil and the other a deranged clown, lots of potential there, just no posed eyes or that gets flushed down the toilet.
 
Re: New Cop Joker Image

hopefully they change the five oclock shadow for the actual figure release. other than that i cant wait for this guy

I feel ya, I think the sculpt (based on the pix) requires tweaking but I am all for the third installment. The price point isn't a big issue for me.....

I cannot wait for more info.
