Bank Robber Joker

[bambooluv]

Dear lord, hot-toys is hurting my pockets. Between this and the ironman mark II news coming out this week its got me on pins and needles.

Sideshow won't distribute him will they?

Nope. Unfortunately due to their Marvel Connection, DC will not allow them to distribute any DC themed figures.

Im thinking people are more attracted to the nurse joker then anything....sick sick puppies

I like the "bank robbery" concept better myself......that is unless they release a 1/6 bed for the Joker Two-Face scene

Agreed. A nurse Joker would just be weird to me

Damn, that's awesome looking. I may have to acctualy get him.

In another thread, Joe said these should hit in December.

That would be awsome! I would love to put this guy under the tree.

 

[jonself2]

Thanks for the confirmation guys. Just pre-ordered through cornerstore.

Well here are some things mentioned from the article.

1. At the time of development of "version 1" the Hot Toys team didn't have a lot of material to work with. After seeing the movie Yulli and JC Hong saw room for improvement especially with the Joker's expression and posture. So when plans for the "Bank Robbery" Joker were brought up they decided to redo the sculpt. As a matter of fact they went for two expressions to better represent the Joker. This "serious" approach to present the Joker seems to contradict the Joker's very own "why so serious?" line, but it is to the benefit of collectors.

2. Release date in November (delays are normal with Hot Toys though so don't be surprised if it is bumped to December).

3. The neck post is done in a way so that the Joker's hunch can be accomplished.

Didn't expect to see you here Elder!! "Welcome to a world without rules" where 1/6 vehicles and figures are bought without concern for rent and other daily necessities.

I think, *********, I may have to buy 2 of these - one to keep as is and another to dress up in Version 1s outfit!! Since the new head is perfect it should stay with the body that is capable of hunching. So come on Toys2!!

>>Sigh<< ohhh christ I'm insane

 

[RNO13]

Put in a pre order. This version looks great!

Exactly what I'm thinking of doing, swapping my V1 outfit onto this body and head. Will make a great IR/MCI Joker. Use V1 Body for BR outfit and head with mask. Maybe the fabulous Les head w/Hair for Street Joker head swap.

Use V1 head for Custom Nurse Joker w/ wig.

That'll be fun. I've heard the tie is the worst.

You can just pop the heads off and exchange them. The bodies aren't constructed any differently. The hunched look has more to do with the new neck post.

Thanks darren. I thought maybe there was more to it.
I'm thinking maybe Les can add hair to this one too. I have to figure out all this Joker stuff with so many more TDK Figs coming from HT, plus the Tumbler!

 

[darren1228]

You just saved me like 2 hours. I thought maybe there was more to it.

No problem
Removing that stupid tie without breaking it would've taken a lot of work.

 

[a-dev]

oh yeah it just said 'neck post'

OK so just transfer this versions normal head onto version 1 and keep the bank robber joker with the slicked back hair sculpt - version 1s head will be spare - both figures will have hunched posture! This is exactly what we wanted.

And I don't need to buy 2 of these at all. phew.

Wow, great looking figure, glad i pre-ordered from Joe!
