Hot Toys - MMS DX 01- The Dark Knight - The Joker spec and pics

Retractable? Wow.

I'd be happy with just a second, alternate shoe with the blade sticking out - then I could switch it with the normal shoe if I ever want an alternate display.

I don't know what your modding skills are, but if you're able to produce such a shoe (even without retractibility), you can fairly name your price and I will buy one from you.

Hmm something to think about then. Basically would just need to combine the shoe with the knife blade, for retractibility, can't be too hard. Might start one up :chew

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I already have one on the go. Should be finished soon, at least in time for the Joker DX.

They can take as long as they need to cause I'm bored with this character.

If you own TDK Blu-ray you can pause the movie at the exact moment where we see Joker preparing to use his shoe blade; that close-up should help you get a sense of the dimensions, color and wear of the blade.

 

[Jokes & Bats]

Bored. With. Waiting.

If I don't come online soon and see the words "HE'S OUT!! NEW PICS FROM TOY WORLD!!!" then I may cave in.

Yep already had a good look Sounds good Snake!
I agree i'm pissed with the waiting, and especially with the lack of any real word, on anything from HT?! Really, they've announced figures long after this, and they have already been released, and still, very limited WORDS even, on this!

 

[nozzlewizard]

Almost feels like I already have this and I've just forgotten its been soo long now

 

[MaulFan]

If it were just clothed figures like always, I'd probably feel the same, but having the PERS and this being my first figure with posable eyes, it is all to evident to me that I don't have this figure yet.

 

[Salvation/Damnation]

The wait sucks, any figure with PERS will be a pain to wait for.

 

[MaulFan]

Well, I don't know anything about Enterbay releases, but I would think that after 2-3 figures with PERS, HT will get it down to a point they can produce them quicker, unless the sheer engineering just will always require that much time, that's assuming PERS is the only reason for Joker taking so long, which depending on what changes from the proto show on the final figure, would be my guess anyway.

I see 3 reasons for the delays on this.

1) PERS
2) Updates/modifications to the costume
3) New production materials used with unexpected results

However, since Marcus Wright got 2 all new headsculpts done and still came out on time basically, I'm going to guess it probably is the PERS that's the main reason for this. If the Comic Con models are an indication of the final figures, then the costume underwent very little change from the prototype and certainly nothing to delay it this much.

Well now I'm hoping this is a sign of DX Joker coming soon, I received my Billy B shirt and tie today, almost feels like a waste to put it on v1 short term, but more a waste not to use it

C'mon DX Joker, show yourself.

 

[Kuzeh]

The only reason it's taking this long,
is that HT is starting to bite off more than they can chew...

 

[MaulFan]

I disagree, they're turning out their standard stuff same time span as always, it's some of their new innovations that take time or the complex stuff, and that's to be expected.

Hey Maul, what exactly is the Billy B shirt/tie?

 

[MaulFan]

Hey Maul, what exactly is the Billy B shirt/tie?

A user here named Billy B created a custom Joker shirt and tie for user Les Walker to use on his custom Ledger Joker, then it caught on and people started to inquire about getting it because it's much more accurrate than HTs.

Here's the HT shirt and tie (picture by The Drizzle).

Here's the Billy B shirt and tie (picture by rw23).

Most notable differences on the shirt are:

- Better closure around the neck.
- Pattern on shirt is half the size of the HT and more in scale
- Blue tint instead of grey/white tint of HT shirt

he has since released a V2 shirt and tie. His version 2 shirt is designed specifically for the narrow shoulder body and is darker that his first which is almost a baby blue. His V2 tie is not as fadded and is also thinner and not so bulky. It looks much better.

 

[MaulFan]

Yeah, I'll have pictures later of mine, that was just quick, but I have his newest. Without them both in hand I can't tell color change in the shirt, the photos online don't have good lighting to judge unless someone posted both in the same photo.

If mine's cut for the narrow, then it still works on the regular because I just put it on my v1 for now.

 

[Pennyworth]

Got it - Thanks guys.

 

[Voorhees27]

Got it - Thanks guys.

Thats a damn cool avatar by the way.

I am selling my V2 BillyB shirt and tie in the for sale section if anyone is interested. I am also selling some of my other joker items and I am canceling my order for the DX joker and Batman. Not because of a wait or anything, to be honest I am pretty patient my collection is just heading in a MUCH different direction with only 1 or 2 items tops.
