If there is a another Jack, I doubt it'll be a DX.

I'm not sure what the difference is now between regular release and DX, but I do think this will be the last DX Jack....I mean, the whole line can't consist of Jack figures :lol

Well there is regular, deluxe, and apparently still DX :lol. I guess the difference between deluxe and DX is that DX has a fancier box, a diorama accessory, and a foam bed for the figure. But the deluxe and DX prices are about the same.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason for prices though. I recently paid the $250 retail for a standard release pretty barebones Doc Brown yet somehow this DX Depp and all it brings is only $15 more.

Well if the QS line is 50% Iron Man why can't the DX line be the same but with Jack Sparrow? [emoji38]

For whatever the reason, the deluxe sets are about offering a DX level alternative to a standard MMS release, where DX figures are a DX set and that’s it, no other buying options.

As for cost, it’s all a balance of licensing fees and production. Depp’s likeness is the face of Pirates marketing, no added cost. Back to the Future probably doesn’t have likeness rights so MJF and LLoyd are probably paid extra for their faces.

HT QC on Nicholson Joker was some of their worst on a traditional MMS figure, but likely they didn’t give it their best cuz Nicholson’s likeness is expensive and they’ve been the only ones willing to pay.
 
LOVE this. Can't wait for this one! Let's see more DX announced! Glad to have that line back.

😳😳😳 MERCY. I thought that was actually the real deal, i.e. Depp, until I saw the picture of him next to it. Geeze--he looks alive. That is OUTRAGEOUS. *mind blown* Can't wait to have him in my possession--but sounds like it'll be a good month before he arrives...grrr...😅

For me, this is one of those figures that just feels like Christmas morning when it arrives. So glad I ordered it. HT Terminator was the last time I was this excited.

This figure is absolutely phenomenal. I literally thought that I was looking at a picture of Johnny Depp when looking at some of the pictures posted on this thread. This figure is so lifelike and I am really happy that I pre-ordered it. At first, I thought that I prefer the DX06 headsculpt without the rooted hair so I bought a DX06 head with both faces to use with this figure. However, the early in hand pics with the sculpted hair have won me over so now I may switch heads from time to time. I am so excited to receive this figure!
 
Curious how many of you who own DX06 are making the DX15 purchase? I don’t like owning multiples of a character. I love different aspects of both versions. Not a fan of the DX15 base, wish HT included a regular for those who do not wish to keep Sparrow trying to balance off a cannon over water. The look is uneasy. I love the wheel of DX06 and for that reason do not want to part with it.
 
A minor recurring flaw is the sash which looks too new. Nothing some rips and dirt can fix though. :)

Keep the wheel, sell the rest

I have the DX 06, and I'm not interested in the new one.

Maybe I'll buy the serious sculpt on ebay....the rest is too similar to buy again. Plus I don't like the new hat, smiley face, and base.

If it was a Cannibal version or a COTBP Jack, I'd buy it immediately.
