Although, he kinda looks like he's Zoolandering a bit in the second pic. ;D

I really don't like the newest Batman suit. Actually, I'm not impressed with Bale's Batman. His Bruce, on the other hand, is really good, though. And this coming from a Bale's fan.

Looks like fracking Willem Dafoe. DC Direct = Constant Fail. Hot Toys = Ever Win.

Man, that is not a flattering angle at all. It's looks more like a caricature. And what's with those cuts on the arms? They don't look like stitching of the costume if that's what they were going for. It looks more like the arms are poseable.

meanwhile, hot toys keeps improving their work. the bank robber joker paint app has changed since the pics i posted earlier. a cat named j.c. hong has taken over as the painting supervisor, and it seems to be a great move:

is that definitely the bank robber joker, cause he's in the purple outfit. also, his eyes are now looking the opposite way.

The more I look at the model, the more i see Chris, it's just not the product I was expecting/hoping for. Supes78 - totally agree with you about the arms, its not an attempt to capture the look of the stitching or a sign of poseable arms, its poorly sculpted, the join between the torso and arms is just ugly.The cape, its not even sitting on his shoulders and same as the arms the join to the neck line and the cape is terrible. Karen Palinko is a fantastic sculpter but there are some terrible blunders here, this should of been DC's prime product, produced and finished to their highest quality. Im hoping all of these images are from a prototype, this just doesnt look like a final quality product, deffinetly not for £180

The more I look at this picture, the more I think that his arms are just a little bit too long. I draw, and taking art classes and drawing the human body, proportion wise they look to long to me. His elbows are bent and his hands go past his crotch, normally the hands should be at crotch level when they are straight. I dunno maybe it's just me... Compare it to the source photo.. Chris's arms are hardly bent.

is that definitely the bank robber joker, cause he's in the purple outfit. also, his eyes are now looking the opposite way. its 100% the BR Joker. The figure comes with two heads. One specifically for the bank robber figure with the hair slicked back to handle the saucy plate of hunky man mask, and another (based on the interrogation scene) that is a replacement for the V1 purple suit Joker (they did this because of complaints and that V1 head does suck booty). Hong repainted the replacement head and is just using the purple suit for display. Its a complete repaint, so that probably explains the eyes.

So the purple suit figure will come with two heads?

thanks. i knew about the 2 heads, but the purple suit and the eyes threw me off. i don't think the new update for the "interrogation" head was needed. it was pretty awesome to begin with as seen below. also i like the old position of the eyes much better. i'm not really digging the "crying" look. he looks much more sinister in the original version. still gonna pick this figure up when i get the chance. EDIT...it seems the repaint by Hong, is just that...a repaint. this article says it's not the production piece. toysrevil.blogspot.com/2008/09/bank-robber-joker-repaint-by-jc-hong.htmlDouble EDIT...seems like no one knows for sure which version head will be coming with the figure. www.statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=76641&page=3old version... is that definitely the bank robber joker, cause he's in the purple outfit. also, his eyes are now looking the opposite way. its 100% the BR Joker.
