The Dark Knight Action Figure SCOOP

[GoogleMe94]

why wouldnt they? i think the only reason they pulled the joker stuff at the UK toyfair was because heath JUST died a day or a few days earlier. but now that the heat has kinda died down (its been a few weeks now), i would think they would be able to show the joker stuff, since i think the US toyfair is much larger.

I dont understand all the bruhaha over the Joker merchandise. Its the Joker. Not Heath Ledger. He played a character, not himself. Also, he had so much makeup on its not like you can really tell that its Ledger. This world has gotten to be so damn sensitive over everything its repulsive. An actor died, get over it. There is merchandise for the character he played. Show it and release it.

 

[GoogleMe94]

there gonna release it anyway, so whats the issue with showing it at a convention?

Same here. Beside, many folks are getting over it & want to see some of his Joker's stuff. Not to mention Heath is finally at peace now & that he didn't die doing something stupid like some did. I really hope they reconsider & show us his Joker figure.

Mixing a **** load of sleeping pills wasn't stupid?

Ummmm......he took other things beside the sleeping pills. He took some kind of anti-depressents type as well. And how was it stupid? He didn't took too much as some think. He just mix some of the medicines together that is fatal. Even small dose of pills mixing with other can kill you. You don't have to mix a lot for it to kill you. He isn't stupid with what he did. For all we know, he might been too tired to know what he was doing or one of the pill might has an effect on his memory or something. We don't know, so let not assume he did something stupid, ok?

Geezus man do you read what you type? Do I have to spell it out for you?

If its so obvious that mixing a small amount can be fatal . . . sounds stupid to me.

Seriously man, are you that much of a fan of Heath Ledger that you have to delude yourself? From the laundry list of stuff found in his body it was more than a small amount in his system. And yes mixing pain pills AND anti-depressants is stupid.

 

[honest george]

I really hope that Hot Toys makes a Joker figure from TDK. I know it will cost in the $150 area but I would coniser buying it if the quality was right. I've budgeted for this summer to have extra spending money just in case something like this occurs.

A 12" collector's figure from 4HM would be good too.

I agree with this, though at first I was very upset with Heath's death, I want my joker merchandise.

just so you know accidental overdose is the leading cause of accidental death. followed by falls and car crashes.

you should have more respect for the dead.

 

[drillmaster]

Apparently the new Toy Fare has TDK in it.

Dude stop being so overly-sensitive, he accidentally mixed pain pills and anti-depressants, he accidentally overdoses, and that was stupid.

you should have more respect for the dead.

I respect Heath Ledger as a performer, but what he did was still stupid.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I thought we were talking about toys in this thread.

Yeah...

There's a difference between Overdose (to take too much of a drug) and Drug Synergy (to take multiple drugs that create a strong effect--lethal).

 

[darknight11]

heres to those who have not yet seen the joker.

BTW, if anyone finds a store that has these up for INDIVIDUAL pre-order, post the link on the boards

 

[The Gigs]

I'm just wondering if anybody has heard anything about these figures? I can't seem to find any pre-orders on any sites at all. I'm kinda curious what's going on.

 

[BAILY]

i dunno about Pre-orders.. i just ordered a case thru my local comic shop and they told me they were ordering an extra case just for me

 

[The Gigs]

One of the stores mailed me back and said that Mattel requested the figures be pulled until May 1st. So, there you have it.

 

[kage88]

i'm definitely getting the collector's line!

 

[TheVileOne]

Hopefully the collector's line won't be hard to find. And I would hope they put more in that series beyond Bats, Joker, and Joker thug. They should use the series to make definitive figure versions of a lot of the movie characters such as Scarecrow/Jonathan Crane, and Ducard/Ra's Al Ghul. Also Two-Face.

Hey even do Ninja Bruce or Batman Begins Bats. That would also work.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

What's the scale of the collector's line? Six inch, or what?

 

[BAILY]

Yes its six inches (and that's what I told her too .. ZING! )

 

[shortish]

There's this ideo on youtube, "The Dark Knight Action Figures Revealed," which pretty much goes through the entire line from the upcoming film.
