1/6 Suicide Squad - 1/6th scale The Joker (Arkham Asylum Version)

[Joekavalier]

It's not on waitlist yet.

Yeah, must be available again. Man, sideshow really knows me. They know I'm a sucker for "exclusives" and have been waiting for anything from this movie. Plus, they know I am into the color scheme from this movie and the Joker, and the pictures include that color, although, the figure itself is actually pretty bland. Oh, well, ordered anyway.

 

[Newbieguy]

No seam at the ankle it appears? Any confirmation? I hate seams at joints.....

 

[karamazov80]

Definitely looks like a full sculpted calf/ankle/foot piece. Good catch. I've never seen that with Hot Toys before.

It says join waitlist and go to get on then it starts processing like a regular order letting you set up payment plan and 22.00 nrd due. Do I resist ordering and regret it later, or order and regret it later? Stupid exclusive tag. Not thrilled about him, but will he be one of those figures that get stupid money later and then regret not getting him for retail? I need counseling lol. What to do?

Just took snapshot

 

[darthconlan]

Buy because you want him, not because of what may or may not. No one knows these days

 

[karamazov80]

I think the waitlist thing was a mistake. Typically the summer con figures are available for a reasonable amount of time. Some of the more popular Iron Men sold out more quickly in years past, but even those were up for days I believe.

They pulled this **** for the Toy Fairs Begins Batman back in 2011. It wait listed for a day then turned back to preorder. I remember because I was at work away from my phone and so worried I was going to miss out that I had Skiman log into my account and order for me.

It'll come back up, I guarantee it. Man, we've been experiencing these kinds of things in the hobby for years now and people still get hyped up and panic.

 

[spindrift]

It may appear again but you have to be around to pounce- I think the waitlisted folks at this point will get filled but further down the line???

 

[EVILFACE]

I can order Joker for you.

And Hulk Buster Iron Man, and Disco Iron Man and Baskin Robbins Iron Man.....

It'll go green and say preorder again.

They didn't sell out in less than a day.

It is literally up for pre-order right now. No longer a waitlisted item.

And I remember the 2011 Batman. I logged on the second it went up to secure a spot, but ultimately it was up there for a few months or something Tied with the old Aliens for worst ankles ever in a Hot Toys figure.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea my replacement ankles are broke too.

 

[Ppk487]

I caved. Sideshow let me cancel my black chrome figure PO. Thought I made a mistake ordering that since I like the movie accurate figures anyway.

 

[Gipetto0812]

glad I don't want this I just want the sculpt and seeing how those go up on eBay pretty much right before or when a figures is released, I'll just pick it up then unless it's reused for the main movie figure

 

[Kal-El_25]

Well I just called SSC. They cancelled my waitlist order and I was able to re order with some reward points.

I would almost guarantee they'll reuse this sculpt, with slightly different paint apps (possibly lighter green hair). The serious look works for the purple jacket look.

So, you'll probably get the same pants, same bottom legs (which like the head, very likely weren't sculpted just for this exclusive release), same body, same sculpt, but more hands, then cane, and a smattering of other accessories. It's possible he'll get more than one outfit in that release, but knowing HT, they'll probably milk it by doing each one separately.

 

[ShaneSG]

I wonder will the included body for this one be fully tatted? I can only assume it will.

 

[karamazov80]

You would think so, since you get a hint of them in pics. But then, why not promote it with a shirtless shot? The straight jacket definitely looks removable.

 

[karamazov80]

If that were the case, why include hands (which aren't attached in pics)?

On reviewing the specs though, I see some bad news. Apparently this is not the actual Joker, but a cosplayer:

"Newly sculpted head sculpt with authentic likeness of Jaren Leto at The Joker in Suicide Squad."

 

[DiFabio]

"Jaren Leto"


Cancelled
