Hot Toys - MMS 68 - The Dark Knight - 1/6th scale The JOKER collectible figure

[Cap'n Cook]

From CoolToyReview:

Hot Toys has revealed the first two of five 1/6 scale figures based on the upcoming Batman feature film, The Dark Knight. Follow these links to check out the Batman (Original Costume) and The Joker. At this time we have no information on North American distribution, but we'll keep you posted on this and the other three figures.

One of them's gotta be Gordon? Please!

All depends though, these prototypes could have been completed months ago but by contract and movie release, they're only showing them off now. Figures of this quality aren't going to roll out in time for the film without having been worked on quite some time ago, so there is room for change since these were done. MOST times HT's proto paint is either matched or surpassed in final production. The first release of Rocky is a great example, looked nothing like Stallone really but the final product was great. First issue FIRST BLOOD Rambo looks off but they gave a new sculpt and paint job by production piece.

True, but I would think they are already done they might just show production samples. Of course Protos usually look better, but if they fixed some paint issues, showing those would seem like a better idea to me.

I'm guessing:

TDK suit Batman
Two-face
Scarecrow

I think that's a bit presumptuous on CTR's part to say that 3 more figures are coming.

The HT newsletter says there's more to come for 1/6, but this is what it says regarding 3 items in June.

THREE more TDK items will be coming out in June.

Doesn't specify if they're figures, could be more busts, certainly I'd think a Two-Face bust will be added to the mix once they can reveal his look.

I'm almost certain we will be seeing Two Face, TDK suit Batman for sure... the third? not sure.. could be Scarecrow, could be Gordon.

I pre-order 2 The joker figures from I am toys Best 1/6 toy store of asia.

 

[MaulFan]

I do see some fleshy creases in there, forhead, around the eyes, so that's cool. Better than a flat white make up face with no definition.

You know, looking at the shot of Joker from the promotional shoot that I put in Buttmunch's signature, I wonder if HT used mostly promo images, as they're best lit, for reference, if so, it is much cleaner and purer than the film.

I'm guessing:

TDK suit Batman
Two-face
Scarecrow

Agreed.
Although, I would like Gordon and/or a business suited Bruce Wayne. Or an Alfred! But I doubt it.

TDK suit Batman
Two-face
Scarecrow

Hmmm. Probably good call actually.

Although how about a bank robbery JOker?

 

[Voorhees27]

One of them's gotta be Gordon? Please!

My guess would be:

TDK Batman
Joker V2
Two-Face

Also very possible. Anything Ledger will bring bucks.

Hopefully. I'm not quite happy with my custom.

 

[The Mike]

I'm guessing the next three will be TDK suited Batman, Goon Bank Robbery Joker and the Scarecrow.

I don't think Two-Face will actually be shown until after the film is released.

 

[Les Walker]

I missed that!

But yeah, TwoFace may not be in the loop for a while....good point Mike.

 

[galactiboy]

Have to say I'm digging the Joker figure more and more, I still think the likeness is a little off, but will be the best production figure we'll see. And the outfit looks really great!

 

[pjam]

I'm guessing

Bat Pod
TDK New Suit
Scarecrow

Then
Goons
Joker V2
Dent/2 Face

You made me almost wet myself with BATPOD! Man! I wish!

That makes a certain sense release wise. And of course there will be a Joker V2.

I have a feeling that when the Batpod is offered (HT has been rumored to be working on it) it'll be a Power Loader situation where a Batman is offered with it that is a variation of some kind.

I think the next three things will be figures because of HT's warning of needing bigger shelves.
