I don’t like Batman that much, but I do own Bales version and enjoy him in the role, best live action. Not comic accurate, I suppose, still fantastic job.
I still maintain what I said before: I want somebody to have the balls to bring their IA Joker into Secret Base and do a scale comparison with the DX 32. Part of my whole “I don’t really care which company it is, so long as it’s my preference” thing is compatibility. I’d love it if HT and IA were each delivering products that you could just as easily pose together as with their respective in-house counterparts. I’m not really sold on the TDKR armory and I think it’s shady that we still haven’t even been able to see the new Batman masked sculpt and it’s already waitlisted.
He’s definitely top 5 to enter my collection besides TDK. I don’t have funds set for that run but if I can squeeze on at a later date I will. Gorgeous, looks like it’s a mannequin at WB. Everything sits on the body so well. He’s going to look fantastic next to the new HT Keaton.
Wait. What’s the sculpt look like? I’ve been out of the custom loop for a minute and this is just emphasizing that Jack needs a mainstream update, too.
“Wait’ll they get a load of me…”
I agree. Definitely prefer sculpted for this.
Yeah, I think it should be more the same length, it’s far too much hair, needs a bit of thinning. Especially around the hairline. If he could work out shaping the rooted hair more accurately it would look better than the sculpted imo.
Same, I’ll probably hop on the clothing run when it reopens, but I’m I’ll be fine with getting the Mars Toys Mob sculpt repainted to a full Joker make up look.
The sculpt doesn't change the fact that the collar is too thick and too high though. My Mars Toys DX08 KO V2 has a better scaled shirt collar than the toribox. It may not have the proper shape, but scale wise, it's better than the custom. I'm glad you see a difference in the pants, but if there is one, I don't see enough to warrant the upgrade at all. Like I said, to me, the only real improvements based on the proto pics are the jacket and vest. If you think the whole thing is a vast improvement and worth the pricetag, then great, but that's not what I'm seeing. Now that we can see the whole thing (and yes, I've viewed all the pics posted on the other forum), I'm not seeing something worth a $500 upgrade. I'm sure the choice of materials are really nice and I do like that it'll have the french cuffs on the shirt with card cufflinks; but, visually, it's not enough of an upgrade like I had hoped it would be for me to pull the trigger
