Mars Toys 1/6 Prank Villain (Three versions of Cesar Romero's Joker)

[Raven]

The fact that somehow this entire line has escaped my attention until now is a huge red flag that it's not being advertised enough. I'm a HUGE 66 fan and been looking for *quality* Collectibles from the series for years. Emphasis on quality. Happy to hear at least they seem to be doing reissues to make catching up possible. And Joker himself seems to have turned out exceptional (I've been skeptical of a lot of 3P as many just don't live up to what's advertised. But as many of the actual *licensed* products also don't and prices keep going up for so-so product, I guess the time has come to embrace the alternatives). But as I collect more 1/12 than 1/6 these days, do you think their 1:12 offerings will match the 1:6 quality? Or even with the benefit of past experience, surpass it?? Have they even released any 1:12 before or will this be the first??

Is the Dino tie still available anywhere?

I found him on Instagram. Couldn’t find his Facebook page.

The cape is the thing that's annoying me on the Saturn Batman now. I'm using the spare Hot Toys version but it's no better than Saturn's. Tony's drapes perfectly, whereas the HT and Saturn are stiff and unworkable, and can only be tamed by using the glass walls of the cabinet.

That's exactly my issue with the cape. Can't stand capes that won't drape naturally! Hopefully someone makes a replacement soon.

On a separate note what's the best way to fix the weak ankles most of these Mars/Saturn toys figures seem to have? Would be nice to be able to use them without stands sometimes, especially for taking pics.

Just realized stupid me didn’t order the replacement set. Could have sworn but somehow it slipped through. Does anybody have a set left? I’d like to switch out at least the shirt.

@Kit Chen Any help would be highly appreciated.

It’s sold out completely

I sold the prison escape version recently and somehow one of the ankles was broken in transit. Trying to find the best solution but could use some help.

Can anyone who has both this and the main pink suit figure confirm if they are using the same body?

Is there anywhere this body or one very similar can be purchased?

Can the ankle extender or lower part of the leg be removed and replaced?

Any info/advice appreciated.

So the person you sold it to said it arrived like that? Sounds shady unless it wasn’t packaged very securely. I always take video of me packing up my figures and showing their condition as they are boxed. That way the loss comes out of the carriers pockets. Not yours. I would offer a $20 refund and call it a day.

Was packaged securely and apparently the packaging was not damaged on arrival. I've no idea how the foot could come loose given how tight the joints are. Just giving the benefit of the doubt and seeing if there's a way it could be fixed.

this is what I do as well. I actually had this same thing happen to me a few months ago that's happened with @sj2106 selling a Sideshow Superman figure. The buyer claimed the ankle was broken when it arrived, so I asked them to show me a picture of the break and I'll match it with the video I recorded of the figure's condition prior to shipping. Never heard back from the buyer and they surprisingly left me positive feedback

Anyway, @sj2106 I would do like Rambler has mentioned and just offer a refund for the about $20 which is about how much it would cost to replace the body. The only way to replace those ankle sockets is to use pliers, and try to wiggle it out of the port without breaking the stem/peg that locks inside the leg. Then you have to do the same with a brand new body to make the swap. That MarsToys body has ratchet knees so it makes it tougher to just pull the entire lower leg off the body like you used to be able to do. It's still possible, but I've found it to be pretty challenging.

Really appreciate the help here @Gipetto0812

Sounds like attempting to switch the lower leg isn't worth the risk. You wouldn't happen to know if it's possible to buy that Mars body anywhere?

This is pretty much the same body that Mars used. The only difference is in the way the extended ankle pegs have been done. Mars used one long piece and Present toys used two connecting pieces. But, otherwise they're the same. Two places to get one below:

This is what the Prank Villain body looks like for reference:

I ran a grainy United Underworld logo through some AI upscalers, removed the background, and ordered a clear 10” by 10” sticker of it on makestickers.com. I was thinking it would be fun to (hopefully) have all four villains together on one detolf shelf with the logo behind them.

Thanks for that idea. I always wanted a place to create stickers for my custom stands and such.

Thanks y’all! That image has a transparent background, so if you want you should be able to get it printed somewhere.

Thanks for sharing the graphic. This is why I enjoy this place so much. You’re a good dude!
