Media-Movie Suicide Squad Hot Toys figures

[matticus]

Just got back from seeing the movie and I absolutely loved it. I was shaking my head through the entire movie because I just could not understand why people hated it.

I did the same. Just seems like with DC there is so much vitriol going around because it is darker.

Did you forget about that part where he electrocuted that dude til he was nothing more than a charred corpse? Or when he shot Bob point blank for no reason?

I don't know if it's good or bad, but he had a reason - Batman interrupted his party, Bob failed Bob dead. Otherwise good examples. He was a killer even before as a Jack Napier, on the screen he killed detective Eckhardt.

Nicholson's Joker was simply too old. Joker should be around Batman's age and he should not, for God's sake, be the guy who murdered Bruce's parents. It was also hard to think of the Joker as anything other than Jack Nicholson wearing makeup. Jack had too much star power at that time. It would have been like casting Robert Redford as Superman instead of Christopher Reeve in 1978 (an idea that was floated by Warner Brothers executives at the time): "Look, it's Robert Redford in a Superman outfit!" Ledger, on the other hand, disappeared into the character. I never thought while watching him, "Here's Heath Ledger wearing makeup." He was only ever the Joker.

I liked that Joker origin. At least it makes some sense and it was all wrapped up. Nothing like "oh uh, look, here is Joker from nowhere, just like that".

And about a Ledger. He got such praise just because he's dead. Same with the Oscar and Golden Globe in memoriam.

say what? man, you tripping.

Ledger go so much praise because his performance was superb... gotta say though, Leto's Mr. J was just plain scary, and far nearer the Joker I know, I preferred his portrayal... I wanted more as soon as the credits rolled, not many films you can say that about.

Oh, and Hot Toys - can we have a Captain Boomerang figure please, complete with can of beer and pink fluffy unicorn?

Unfortunately I'm one who has to agree with the critics on this movie. The whole thing was just so dull and generic and poorly edited that I couldn't get into any of it. And I wasn't expecting high art here. I would have been perfectly fine with something trashy and fun like the first Expendables or a Crank or a Fast and the Furious. But none of the action was even HALF as thrilling or well-executed as the action in those movies. And the characters had so much of their edge removed that they barely made an impression. And they certainly didn't come across like the badass threats and killers the movie wanted us to think they were.

The only thing that really worked in the movie was Harley, but even she didn't get to do anything all that cool or badass. I have her figure on PO but honestly the movie was so bad I'm not sure I even want her anymore.

 

[dominishin]

Was bad, but not as bad as I was expecting.

I have to really wonder how these guys passed their film courses with this level of... technical incompetence. Like all 3 movies in DCEU have had huge problems with the same thing (among others).

Maybe WB really are just ****ing up their movies.

Holding out hope for a gold dress Harley

Spoiler

Also the tux Joker and jester Harley!

 

[Mr.Tanker]

Captain Boomerang and Flag would be easy enough characters to make.

I could also seem them knocking out at least one more version of Harley and Joker. They are very popular characters, regardless of the movie. If you have the license, why not take advantage of it.

Didn't see that on Monday. Gold dress Harley and Dr.Harleen are my most wanted. But of course I would love to see the whole team and Waller.

Yes and they already make the head sculpts and bodies for them. But I don't know how hard it is to make a new head sculpt based off an old one.

Gold Dress Harley Quinn, Tuxedo Joker, Classic Harley Quinn, Enchantress, Captain Boomerang

I'm betting we'll get one more Joker and Harley from this license. It'd be nice to be surprised with another member of the Squad but if there would be just one more who would take the slot? Boomerang to eventually go with The Flash? Killer Croc so HT can show off a bit with an elaborate action figure?

There is definitely one more Harley that screams Convention Exclusive, I wouldn't be shocked if we didn't see it next season.

 

[DiFabio]

Nicholson Joker - old, over weight and played himself, the benchmark and everyone's favorite until Heath Ledger died

Hamill Joker - a 2D, cartoon character that shouldn't even count when smelly man children only put him
on a pedestal because they later found out as kids that their beloved Luke Skywalker did the voice

Ledger Joker - overrated and made famous because of his death at the hands of one of the Olsen twins at the pinacle of TDK's hype train

Leto Joker - went method only to be a laughing stock when all that work amounted to 5 mins of footage when 90% of his footage got cut out

Add El Diablo and I'll be happy with that.

Yeah he was cool in the movie, but figure wise I don't see myself spending 200+ on him.

I definitely see another Harley from all the praise she is getting on her portrayal of the character.

I'd like to see El Diablo, Killer Croc, and Captain Boomerang next. That would 'complete' the Squad for me. Katana, Flagg, and Waller are other wants, but they aren't really apart of the squad. Don't care to have the 30 second member of Slipknot though I'm iffy on Enchantress too. Her look is so CGI reliant, I'm not sure a figure would even look right without all of the CGI elements going on.

Tux Joker needs to be made though. That was his best and most important look. Considering that craptacular music video featured him in it as well, I think its got a high chance of being made - especially since a Cosbaby has already been made of it too. Look at those for potential 1:6 SS figures from Hot Toys!
