Oh let me think; this is gonna be a real toughy. Hot Toys Mr. J FTEW!!!!!!!! t:

 

[NotAShrimp]

Hot Toys all the way.
Clothing looks much better and so does the hair.
The colors are little bit off, but that might be the cameras fault.

I thought we agreed last night to settle this in a cage match?

 

[BDS23420]

the DC picture doesnt work.

Agreed, the detail in the clothing and accessories is remarkable, but the HT looks like a flaming pile of donky ****. THe face completely ruins the HT figure. DC direct head FTW!!

Can't we just discuss this in the merchandise thread like we've been doing?

I think the DC Direct face sculpt is outstanding. Then I remember it isn't a sculpt, they literally took pre-scans of Heath before prosthetics and makeup for all the DC Direct products so they could begin work on them. Then I look at the Hot Toys face and think about how completely underrated it is ... it resembles Heath, but not to the point where it is a figure of Heath in clown makeup. To me it much more resembles the character we've been seeing in clips, and his expression just brings out the essence of the character. I saw a screen cap of the Joker's closeup from the Why So Serious trailer where he's grinning before he claps. Looks just like the Hot Toys sculpt. I really don't see how the Hot Toys sculpt could be considered as being terrible. I really don't.

Nope, I figured this would keep us from going off-track. The merchandise thread is for reports on all merchandise, not a debate on which figure is superior. Plus, I wanted a poll. Thanks anyway, though.

The merchandise thread will be ruined if people only argue about which Joker is better. I think its better to have own thread for this debate.

You're a shrimp.

This Manip BDS made,shows my ideal Joker figure.

 

[Scarecrow360]

I'm just going to get the HT one (since the semi decent paint job on the head of DCD is the only thing appealing about it) and repaint the entire head, same as I did the MM.

The painting on the head is atrocious, other than that it's got DC beat in every way.

Tone down the smartass-dom, kay?

 

[D4rkShaDoWz]

Sure. If you refrain from trying to be the Dirty Harry of the Batman message boards.

How mature of you.

It was just a suggestion, friendo. Not a request.

 

[Alex_The_ Large]

HOT TOYS all the way. way better accessories, the knife is actually like the real one.

 

[BDS23420]

the price is what kills you with the Hot Toys one thou...its $40 more than the DC one....and the Hot Toys one really doesnt look like Heath, but he looks bad ass, and the clothes are awesome!

 

[the GRIN Reaper]

How does the Hot Toys version not look like Heath? Althought you might be right. Hot Toys looks like TDK Joker, DC Direct looks like Heath with makeup on his face.
