Someone got a big haul.
Who are are the other two?

 

[DiFabio]

Joker and Alfred.

Did your AliExpress order ever ship?

Yes, AliExpress delivered. Got the Gianttoy MAT002 shipment around the same time.

But i just paid off the Mob Boss Joker today at OSK so I can’t complete my Museum Joker swap yet.

Is this a 2nd batch production of Mars Joker (MAT002)?

Compared to figure I got from OSK last year, I noticed both my AliExpress and Giantoy shipments had slightly different foam packaging and was missing the radio remote from the same Joker I received last year - was that a OSK EX accessory?

Mine came with a broken foot and a piece of the boot broken off. I had to heat gun the ball peg and ankle to pop it back in.

How’s the customer service in Giantoy, is it like Sideshow if I reached out for a boot replacement?

based on my past experience with Giantoy, their customer service is excellent. They reply relatively quickly and find a way to makes things right.

I’m not sure how it would work for a foot replacement - I assume GT would reach out to Mars.

But I’m not sure if it’s like Sideshow, where they have a bunch excess inventory and just rip out the replacement part you need from the box and ship it out immediately.

I see someone is selling a Mob Boss Joker on FB for $225 all in here in the states in case someone is impatient.

"Oh, there'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"

 

[Measles]

Batman '89 has still to arrive

 

[aragen]

First release Joker hat works better. For sure.

 

[aragen]

So figure is AMAZING...buuuuut I contacted GianToy as it looks like the threads holding the Jacket together are coming undone.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Yea, looks like yours were done a little haphazardly. Mine are sewn in a lot cleaner than that.

As a top for those small snaps, It's always best to pop them open at the snap itself (like using your finger nails to pop them apart) rather than just pulling them at the jacket material as that will put strain on the threads and the snaps

 

[Wor-Gar]

Oh no, are the snaps the cheap plastic black ones?

I hate those cheap snaps. It's just a matter of time before the plastic head snaps off.

No, it wasn't an exclusive accessory. This was well before they were doing any sort of bonus or exclusive items. Yours is just missing the radio

Oh no, are the snaps the cheap plastic black ones?

I hate those cheap snaps. It's just a matter of time before the plastic head snaps off.

not black, but yes to being plastic. Purple ones on the outer jacket and white ones on the vest.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Those are the worst! For me, the problem is not opening them but lining them up perfectly to close them. I always snap them.

So much for stripping Jack!

Figured mine's a fluke.
I noticed a thread was sticking out, looked and was like "****."

That said, this guy's easily thee best 3rd Party figure I've gotten. I wanna say this is almost Hot Toys level. The likeness is dead on with both smiling variants and the laughing head. Worth the wait.

 

[pug205]

The laughing museum head is soooo good. Has so much life and character in it and makes such a striking figure.

That is the most exciting part of this set for me at this stage and I look forward to making my DX08 into the Partyman.

Thanks for clarifying. What are the odds both my Ali and Giantoy shipment was missing that exact same radio remote accessory?

Giantoy customer service said they would attempt to obtain one through Mars after CNY.

With the Ali order, I’m not even going to bother contacting the seller, seems like too much trouble.

I already have the accessory through my 3rd Joker from OSK, don’t even think I’ll be displaying more than one of the radio.

Amen

 

[Gipetto0812]

Love how both Loki and Boba look like "What are you laughing at?"

 

[aragen]

Pretty much. XD
