Mars Toys 1/6 Prank Villain (Three versions of Cesar Romero's Joker)

[Wor-Gar]

So... plus on the new vest magnets, minus on the shirt collar, minus on repeat hands.

Other than that, are the colors and cut the same on the suit? All the hands and gear the same, paint as well (other than the duplicate -- which may be a one off)?

The suit tailoring looks to be the same, but there might be a slight difference in colour. It's hard to tell but the original seems to be a bit more vibrant. The masks are definitely a different colour: the original is slightly darker.

Everything else looks the same.

 

[Wor-Gar]

You sound disappointed.

 

[Asta]

You sound disappointed.

The original one was less problematical.

The waistcoat issue on the 2.0 was easily overcome, and the choice to use magnets is a visual improvement.

It's the shirt collar that really annoyed me. The 1.0 was so neat and perfectly tailored.

Yep, that does sound like a big mistake. I mean, how does that even get changed?

I checked ebay -- no loose 1.0 shirts.

So have to make it work for us late adopters.

On the plus side, I have a wider dinodinoya tie, so maybe that will help hide the spread. I also checked a bunch of ref, and in truth Romero's collar did spread a bit wide most of the time (also had a lot of white make-up on it too).

I looked at photos as well afterwards, and felt a bit better about the collar.

Even so, I had to glue it as tightly as I dared before putting the sculpt back in.

Yeah, that note was purely for my OCD to justify the open spread.

Didnt see anyone post Justin’s review yet, so here you go!

This figure looks incredible. Placed my order yesterday…

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, it was posted 3 months ago, great video though.

I wish he'd do a review of the 2nd issue.

The missing hand/accessory can happen with any purchase including a very expensive InArt Joker. If it is the same issue in every box then Mars have really screwed up! Aside from the collar it looks like the 2.0 has maintained a similar quality to the first edition figures so I give Mars a tick there for being able to maintain a consistency there. Shows that it wasn't just a fluke and future releases like the Riddlers, Mob Jack, and Bruce can keep up to that quality.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Let's not applaud too quickly. The shirt collar issue is a BIG error to me if it is consistent. We need a few more people to receive and report.

In their plus column, changes to magnets is GREAT!

Prank villain arrived today and wow, what a fantastic figure. 3 amazing head sculpts, a huge variety of alternative hands and a great range of accessories. Absolutely bloody fantastic. Cheers Mars Toys.

Another re-issue with a wild looking collar.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Clearly not a good futzer to start though. Nor photographer.

 

[Asta]

Just noticed that one also has the waistcoat magnet issue.

Seems like Mars threw these together just to get them out the door quickly.

 

[Wor-Gar]

What exactly is the "waistcoat issue"...? A strip of magnets glued in the wrong place? I don't understand.

That is true and looks like it could be widespread. I will revise my comments to just the paint apps

Yes. The magnets are on a piece of fabric, and they've glued them too far over so the sticky side shows.

 

[Wor-Gar]

sticky side? Do you have a picture? Its worth 1,000 words apparently.

You can see it in the second Peter Williams photo:

That's the fabric strip of magnets stuck under the fake buttons, but they've left half of it exposed.

I pushed it back under the waistcoat, but eventually it lost its stickiness - it may even be double sided tape. I glued it in place.

 

[JacktheRipper]

I actually see it on his more than on yours, Asta. I, like Wor, wasn't sure what you were talking about. I didn't see anything in your pics.
