What are those pants from? They fit the TT very well.
I love the Joker and all but like 3 or 4 Jokers and still no Gordon!? That's just ridiculous.
Here is the thing, we aren't talking about Sideshow or Hasbro here. The average pricepoint of a MMS figure has always been $150 so saying "3 Jokers for $150 each!??!" really is like saying "3 Hasbro Star Wars for $8.00 each?!?!" Its just the way its been. As for the figures, the "updates" were bonuses really. The first figure "The Joker" was done before the final film edit was completed and inaccurate in many ways despite being a fantastically done figure. The second figure "The Joker in Bank Robber Disguise" included a second head that could be used for the v1 figure but not made specifically for it like the Jack Sparrow release. It also included a gun that was heavily featured in trailers and posters and people were screaming should have been included. This figure "The Joker in Cop Disguise" we aren't sure what's included yet but let's assume the minimum. So the minimum looks like a Jacket with Grenade rig and hand with figure pointing maybe an additional head. These would be the first time the "updates" were included that weren't capable of being used on the original figure. Now if the MMSDX equals automatic 2 in 1s, then we'd be getting a full Joker costume with rig, gloves, shoes and head whereas the Joker costuming is very detailed and would have demanded a higher pricepoint that Harvey or Clark.
When you really look at the game footage Hot Toys hasn't committed a huge sin as many are proclaiming. While its expensive to have "The definitive Joker" because you'd either have to fight on eBay for the pieces or plop down $450 (at minimum because you know DX will be a price increase) to get it but that is our fault for being anal retentive collectors, there are collectors out there who are still happy with their first purchase and have called it done.
It's reality.
Gordon requires additional rights beyond the TDK license for his likeness, which means effort and money. He's not likely to sell as crazily as Joker and Batman, so that makes him look less like a good idea to HT, and really, if they're not willing to do Gordon, Fox and Alfred aren't happening either. Our best chance, and I'm not sure they even have a license, would be Ra's or Crane from Begins, and even that's very unlikely.
While it sucks seeing more Jokers with the desire to have other characters, that's just how it's going to be.
Best way to look at it is better to at least get more Jokers and maybe a new Batman or Wayne than nothing at all.
I was just thinking, if this is a two-in-one then they should of gave us a Nurse Joker/ Police Joker. What gives?
Then what would they have left for version 4?
