Hot Toys DX01 The Joker (with cop disguise) full review + pics

[wookster]

Well we’ve waited and we’ve waited for what seems an eternity, but one of the most anticipated figures of 2009 is finally here!

Mine was fresh off the delivery truck on Monday (12/10/09), but after a few late nights, and a mamoth photo sesion here’s my thoughts on the first DX from Hot Toys… The Joker!

I warn you now, it’s a long one, but a lot needed to be said!

Awesome review man.. i was savouring it throughout the day.. readin it little by little ... Just didn't want it to get over..

[CessnaDriver]

got my preorder in for this one but probably won't ship from my domestic retailer until Dec.

Why do they release so early in Asia, and the rest of the world waits for shipments?

err... cos its made and distributed From asia?

It's more then that though.
Seems two months or so go by.
This isn't the norm for most things, I have noticed the pattern with Hot Toys.

There seems to be an intentional delay.

Perhaps to reward asian dealers with the gotta have it now customers??

Just guessing.

[jollyskeleton]

its the same for kotobukiya. Things get released in asia first long before it hits the US. however, i think that could be due to us in asia receiving directly from japan, while the US side has to wait for a different batch?

[joy_division]

thinking of getting this one. Will be my first joker(or any bat figure)

Glad you enjoyed it. I've had a few requests on various forums for more pics of the back of the head. The seam is very well disguised, when you know it's there you see it, but at a glance it virtually disappears.
