I heard jack Nicholson is being stingy his likeness rights and hasn’t approved anything right now. So this figure is probably the only jack Nicholson joker we’re going to get, unless he changes his mind.
Very interesting, thanks for the info! With Batman 2.0 released I did wonder why they hadn't announced a Joker 2.0 as it seemed like a no-brainer, but can see why it's not happened after what you've said. Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻
Wow yes have you seen the new shots of that Catwoman? They look seriously good don't they!! Plus now there's the Batman Returns announcement from Hot Toys!
Give it a couple of weeks and a 2.0 will definitely get announced 🤣 Happened with Bespin Luke, Shoretrooper and BvS Batman 😅😅 Thanks for checking out the video 😃🙌🏻
It is a grail. I've had this guy since the day it got released from sideshow back in the day. Though I've bought and sold many many figures since 2010. The DX08 and the DX09 never left my collection. This guy has been standing on the top shelf of my Detolf since it came to my collection . excellent review and congrats
I was thinking they may never reissue the figure and as I was getting the Batman and 2.0 I just went for it 🙂 But yeah HT could announce a 2.0 at ANY time couldn’t they!! Cheers for checking out the vid 🙌🏻
Gotta agree lad Mr Napier don't live in the park 😎😎👍👍.uber nice figure great accessories 😎😎hair seam was however a horror story 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱. Where he gonna live cause he can't live in George's cave 😂😂?
It's a crazy life-like head sculpt! The seam will never be seen as the hat looks perfect tbh!! I've got a detolf that will be become a Batman/ 80's/90's action movies themed display, so yeah still in the George cave for now! 😅 Cheers for watching! 🙌🏻
You never know with Hot Toys, a reissue could be just around the corner!! Which would definitely save you some coin. But there are deals to be had as I didn't pay anywhere near £500 tbh! Thanks for checking out the vid mate 🙌🏻
I was shocked when you said this came out in 2012! 😮 With me only collecting Star Wars, I still regard 2015 as early! As you said, that headsculpt is right up there with the best. I wonder if Jack got some financial residues from the sales of this figure? He made an absolute mint from the merchandise sales from the film! 💸💸💸
Yeah 2012 seems a ridiculously long time ago, as far as figures are concerned!!! Not sure how the licensing works tbh, I imagine he got some coin from this release, but from what others have said he is not keen to license out those image rights anymore? Not sure if thats accurate or what!
I have always thought that looks like an awesome figure as well. The likeness looks absolutely 10/10 to that scene, I'm very tempted to pick it up if I can! Thanks for watching 🤘🏻
It's definitely a great figure! I personally think Hot Toys silver age was 2012-2014 i can happily spend hours looking at RoboCop 2.0 ED209 2.0 and my absolute favourites the QS02 1/4 scale Endoskeleton figures they still blow my mind 🤯 it's really nice to see you broadening your collection brother and the joy you get at each unboxing video you upload! Keep it up 😎
Yeah I'm definitely on the hunt for a Robocop. Love that ED209 as well (remembering your videos of the fix you did for that one)! Got the Terminator on preorder but definitely have Endo envy 😅 Thanks for checking out the video 🙌🏻
It is an absolutely beautiful grail figure many congrats on securing a nice example. Even better if you manage to get the lint off him (and I think his tie ‘bow’ should sit in front of the shirt collar). Thanks for the review!
Cheers Jonathan!! Yeah awesome figure! I'm working on the de-linting 😃👍🏻 And yeah I need to futz with the bow tie! I noticed it was sticking out way too much as well, think its just the way it's been stored in the box. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙌🏻
Absolutely brilliant and ingenious intro with Maul wanting Kenobi. Superb Tk. Hope your delayed figure is just stuck in customs and not missing. So many accessories. Where does he get those wonderful toys? Seriously though, I think that this figure shows how originally you got so much more with a figure. These days you'd get the hands, the long gun and the hat, not the walky talkies, cane, megaphone, chattering teeth, acid flower or money bundles. His head sculpt is amazing. So good. That's Jack from the film without a doubt. So how many non-star wars figures do you have now?
Haha yeah wasn't sure how that intro would land but kept it in anyway, thanks for the feedback 😃👍🏻 Yeah 100% agree! The newer DX figures are very bare-bones whereas there's a plethora of stuff with these earlier ones isn't there! Re: non-Star Wars figures, I did have quite a few but I reverted myself back to Star Wars-only but now I've gone back to getting non-Star Wars! 🤦🏻♂️ So at the moment I'm back down to two figures 😅 This Joker and Batman 2.0, but with T-800 Terminator on preorder. Looking to get Robocop soon too but he pricey!!
So funny how this is up today. I literally mentioned this joker to my son on the school run earlier. I promised myself when I bought my first hot toys Star Wars that I’d never stray into another franchise. BUT!! Batman 89 is too special to me as it was just my favourite film growing up and the Batmobile was and still is the greatest superhero car ever created. There’s no way I’m not getting that next month. So of course I need a Batman to go with it and I think it’s law that if you own any kind of Batman you have to have a joker to go with it. And I don’t wanna break the law.great vid as always mate. Always a pleasure sir.
Yes mate!! Laws must not be broken 😅 I felt like I was missing out on some really amazing figures by just sticking to Star Wars. The Terminator reissue broke my resolve, so then I ordered Batman. And like you say one cannot own Batman without a Joker!! Would really love the Batmobile but I just don't know where it would go tbh! Congrats in advance on getting yours next month! And thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
Back then hot toys had to make a real name for them selfs, the box the presentation, now unfortunately they don't have to work so hard, I cancelled my 89 version two batman, it's not a patch on the DX. Version one.
Yes I think they've started to take it easy, especially with the Star Wars DX releases! You cancelled the '89 Batman 2.0 just as mine arrived 😅 Hot Toys influenced me with all the talk of the refined cowl and cape! 🤦🏻♂️ Oh well, I know I'm still gonna love it! 😃 Thanks for checking out the vid Cliff! 🙌🏻
I absolutely adore DC, and goes to show you how well a lot of the figures hold up even to this day. Feel like it doesn't get as much love as the rest of other franchises, which sucks cause there's plenty to choose from! There are other characters besides Batman that need attention!
I must admit the only DC I got into as a kid was Batman and Superman. Never really paid much attention to the other characters until relatively recently. Thats probably why I don't really connect with anything other than the two main characters (and Batman villains). But yeah can see if you were/are a DC comics enthusiast there's a massive roster of awesome characters isn't there! Definitely an underutilised franchise!
Yeah it's definitely worth picking up if you can get it. With the current cost of new releases, the price of these grails is not too much more! So their purchase becomes even more justifiable tbh! Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻
Its destroyed my budget 😅 but it's well worth it Mandy!! So flippin life-like it's scary!! I'm just thinking of the shots you could get with this figure...!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video dude! Love Jack Nicholson as the joker, he will always be the joker to me. This figure is amazing! Like you say, for the time it's surprisingly up to scratch with some of today's best head sculpts. Have to agree on the hair though. Quick tip if it helps, you can use tape to get the fluff off the jacket, just make a loop with the sticky side facing outward and dab it on and off, it takes all the dust and fluff off, works a treat! Have you thought about doing a second channel? It would be cool to re-review all non star wars figures on there and a lot of your audience will follow you.
Cheers mate! Definitely will always be the Joker to me too! Grew up watching the Cesar Romero Joker but when I saw this at the cinema as a kid, with the origin story and everything that was it! '89 was the year!! 😀 Great idea with the sticky tape btw, thank you!! Honestly mate I did think about a second channel but I don't think I could handle running two channels. It's a ball ache just doing one! 😅 Thank you for the suggestion though mate, I really appreciate it 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles Exactly the same, Cesar was great but to me he was the TV joker and Nicolson just left an impression that felt synonymous and real. The tape works great, I've used it on every used figure I have and it just brings then back to a new look. I completely get that. I was thinking more just a once in a blue moon channel that you could point your audience to as kind of overflow but you're right, it is so much work and commitment, it's probably not worth it.
I got this recently, as well. Fantastic figure. Got my Batman 2.0 yesterday and I really love it. The texture is a but much, but i don't have nearly as many complaints as other folks. I also got the Mars Toys Mr. J. and he's really great.
Ah congrats!! Just got my Batman 2.0 in today 😀 Not opened it yet though but really looking forward to it. I've seen the actual suit in real life and it does have texture to it, it's not perfectly smooth so yeah not sure what all the drama is about tbh! Congrats on the Mr. J. been super tempted with that and Mr. W! Thanks for checking out the vid Matt! 🙌🏻
I have heard this a lot now, so your comment might be the straw that breaks my resistance to it! Wasn't that fussed about it tbh but now I am intrigued!! Thanks for the comment (it's probably going to cost me 😅) and cheers for watching! 🙌🏻
Congratulations bud. This figure is what got me started when I saw it in forbidden planet in London. Lucky I got it for £175 on Facebook and the price on him now is very high. He is a fantastic figure to have and so glad you love it after waiting so long. 😊
