1/6 Mars Toys MAT014 Joker (Jack Nicholson)

[aragen]

I did the same thing. Pretty dumb in retrospect, but I just didn’t trust a third party company being able or even allowed to mass produce a Jack Nicholson Joker.

Kit got back to me, told me no chance. OH WELL.

So a one time run?

Mars has reissued all of their popular figures so far. I’d imagine the next year will consist of Mob Joker reissues, until they release their next figure (maybe Carrey Riddler?) a year from now.

They even started including accessories that specifically won’t be included for reissues, like Gorshin Riddler’s “stoic” head sculpt.

I wouldn’t be too broken up if you missed this time around - they like money.

Well that's assuring~
Thank you!

Well, Mob Boss Joker arrived within under a year.
I'm guessing Carrey Riddler is next.
Maybe alongside Gus? XD

GREAT PICTURES!!!

That Nicholson face look amazing! For some reason I really like the one with the white paint on the forehead, even though it doesn't really look like skin beneath make-up. And that suit is just crazy perfection. If only the hat...

Sadly, that purple pith helmet just won't work. Mine will be holding the hat. On the flip side, the painter's cap looks fantastic.

My only other nit is the painters tie -- just isn't as full as it needs to be. I suppose it may be time to organize another Dinodinoya tie run for the Joker's painter tie (for those who plan to build out their Museum Joker).

The hat looks really bad this time round, worse than the one that came with their first Joker.

I was tempted to leave those photos out from the post, because it drags the figure down.

Well, it is what it is. Mars is surely disappointed in the hat as well, I'm sure. Especially when the hat is featured so prominently on the box cover.

Thankfully, everything else looks to be in good order.

If they do a 2nd run, maybe they'll figure out a better hat and we can all replace our V1s. That said, I wonder if someone here will print up a good hat for this figure so we can re-create the box cover?

The hat is the worst part, but then again, so was the DX08’s. It just doesn’t work.

Everything else is stellar. I should have preordered it. The 3 Nicholson heads, accessories and suit are worth the price tag alone.

I’d get two,

They may very well be, as they just posted this:

Those two outfits actually look great together!

They’re very distinct from the black and white Mime and regular Clown Joker too . . .

Regular Clown (if you mean his most basic Joker outfit) and the Museum outfit always seemed too close to me to have together on the shelf. Other than the hat and tie, its the same outfit and I think the colors would dilute one another.

If I did that, the "regular" Joker would have to be wearing the long coat just to differentiate its colors... call it Parade Joker.

 

[DiFabio]

The partyman tie sucks too, but other than the hat and tie everything else is pretty damn good.

Someone do a custom tie batch, stat!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Dinodinoya!

The gun included here is supposed to be this gun...?

 

[Space Jockey]

Probably the only way the hat would work is if they had a headsculpt that flattened his hair above the ears, and create a new hat to suit.

Man, you two are right on it.

How come you can't tell me what tennis shoes Wayne wears in his Batcave?
