I received it too and I must admit it's the first time ever I open a Hot Toys figure and feel nothing.
The box is GREAT though. Like I was a bit fed up with their shoebox stylized boxes. This one is a bit different, there are magnets on the slip cover, and I love the colors they used.
The figure itself... it's so light it's shocking. You wonder where is your money really. It's definitely not worth the price, even if it was cheaper than other recent figures. You can't do much with it. I knew you wouldn't be able to do much with it but.. I don't know... feels too much like a Barbie doll, only with a Hot Toys head.
You know what really disappointed me? They painted the eyes. I swear I hadn't guessed from the photos I'd seen. For some reason it shows much more than other HT releases, because of the blue color I guess. If you look at the figure really close, you can tell the eyes are painted. I definitely prefer when they use "real" separate eyes. But the headsculpt overall is amazing and very impressive in person.
But that's about it.
Still I have no regrets, I will definitely use this head on another Joker since I plan on getting all releases and it is nice looking anyway but... Yeah I feel strange about it.
You know I may try to swap the head with my TDK Joker 2.0 figure, just to see haha. And I will use Ledger smiling face on this guy. Hope we can swap those heads with these bodies.
