lol, I don't think you understand what I was saying.
I was responding to your insistence that BR Joker was going to be remade as a DX, and referencing a cycle that happens here over and over.
Some new posters come along, and they have wishful thinking for certain figures to be made (or redone). Either they weren't around when it could be had for cheap or they think it can be done better or whatever. And that's fine.
But then their wishful thinking becomes an insistence that Hot Toys is going to do what they want them to do - wishful thinking becomes fact. Logic goes out the window - they twist facts and common sense to suit their desires for a certain figure. They're certain - CERTAIN, they tell you! - that they're right and they'll be vindicated.
Never mind the fact that they've only been collecting for a year or two. Or been a part of the community for a year or two. Suddenly, they think they're experts in Hot Toys' best interests and business practices, experts in 1/6 history, and experts in business overall. And if you can't see what's blatantly obvious to them, why, you're a moron! Of course they're right, you'll see! They have an MBA in 1/6 action figure production, don't you know?!
And then of course they're proven wrong and quietly disappear into the woodworks, never to eat their crow. That won't stop them from trying the same thing next year, though!
Anyway, the Nurse Joker comment was because when the 2.0 was first announced, some people wanted it to come with an alternate, Nurse Joker outfit (much like how DX01 came with a Cop Outfit). Pretty soon, this desire became an insistence that it WOULD come with a Nurse Joker outfit, there was NO WAY that it couldn't come with a Nurse Joker outfit, and that anyone who didn't realize that was just being stubborn and didn't know what they were talking about.
Of course, some of us tried to use reason, but like every new collector and poster (and like some of the dumber, older ones - it wasn't JUST noobs), they refused to listen to either reason or the wisdom from those who have been around a lot longer, and tried to shout the rest of us down.
Like I said, time proved them wrong, as it always did. I'm sure most of them have conveniently forgotten about it, but that doesn't mean you can't learn from their mistakes.
I was just pointing out that their blind insistence was exactly the same kind of thing your post sounded like
ah memories.
Cheers mate. I honestly can't say for sure, I bought my DX off ebay and it came with the body for cop joker but I'm pretty sure it's a narrow shoulder truetype?
