what about that purple coat?
looks different too.
different fabric maybe?
Going by the look of the Joker in the background, I'm thinking this one will include his purple coat with the grenade rigging from the mob meeting. It very much looks like the one hand is up in the air like when he holds the string to set them off and his left side looks like a hand is holding the coat open just like that scene. That'd be a cool way to get a better purple coat with this figure.
It's all in the lighting, the mouth looks weird in that image but perfect here.
If one image makes it look great and another bizarre, I'm really feeling angle and lighting are key and that it'll be fine overall in hand.
BINGO!
Things I noticed: the collar of the new coat looks better and more accurate than the v.1 version. The coat appears to have padded shoulders because if you look at the right arm that's up you can see a distinctive v shape there. So that's cool. I agree the material looks different, inbetween the original and Medicom's (which was OVERDONE imo). So not smooth but not like a Medicom bathrobe. Also it definitely looks lighter in color.. because it's not directly in the Cop Joker light yet you can kinda make out the color. The v.1 would be BLACK.
So Cop Joker (Outfit/Hat/Rifle) + New Mob Meeting Joker head sculpt + New accurate Purple Trench Coat with Grenade rigging + 2 new purple gloved hands.
Sound about right?
Well considering most of us won't have our figure completely hidden in a shadow to cover it up I'd say this photo is the exception. Besides. It's not only the mouth the looks off.
Great appreciations to our collectors who have made our MMS line a success, we think we can do it better, and that's why the MMS DX series is formed. So what is MMS DX? Our MMS DX series presents upgraded high-end collectibles by adding more life-like elements and brand new techniques invented by our in-house engineers. This is a good news for figure addicts everywhere, as you will see an exceptional 1/6 collectible you have never had!
This opens up a whole new arena... could a perfect Hicks be in the works?
Whoa! That actually kind of sucks. Maybe, just maybe we're all wrong about all this extra stuff with the Cop Joker. Maybe HT plans on re-releasing the v.1 Joker with the moniker of "Mob Meeting Version" which would just be the v.1 Joker replaced with this new head sculpt, the 2 new hands pictured, new purple coat and the grenade rigging. For me it would be cool since I don't have the original Joker.. but for people that do it would suck. Pure speculation on my part though.
Still don't like the DX idea. I would have gladly shelled out $200 for this DX Joker had he been released earlier. If the DX version does indeed have a great Joker sculpt + accurate clothing with better materials then what am I going to do with my two other Jokers? Of course nothing is confirmed yet but the proto image certainly leads me to believe that this is the case. What if they announce a DX Predator 1 after they release the MMS P1? Arghhh
That's my point. What if they start re-releasing A LOT of older figures, upgraded and better. It's nice for new buyers but it makes the figures people already collected and paid for from them useless. I'd be pissed if they released a better P2. Because that'd be $190 bucks down the drain for me.
