  1. Your welcome. Glad to help! I don't have personal experience with the regular true type body, but I think the shoulders are perfect on mine (TT narrow shoulders). I have heard that the regular TT works OK on the Classic Painted Joker body... so if you have a Regular TT you could undress the classic Joker, use his body (narrow shoulders) with the cop head/clothes, and use your regular TT for the classics sculpt/clothes... but that sounds like a lot of work for something that might not look as good. I don't think you would regret springing for a new narrow shoulder TT. Let me know what you decide and how it goes with your badge!
  2. Seems likely that I'm talking to myself at this point, but just wanted to share another tip. You may have noticed that the badge was missing from the above cop joker pics. This is because I wasn't sure how I wanted to attach it. I tried to fasten it with the ribbon on the jacket but it was so tight I couldn't get it past the first row of metals. Also the ribbon would cover up some of the medals. In one of the reviews at MWCtoys (in the "Articulation" section) he suggests gluing something on to the back of the badge so he could clip it onto the ribbon like a pen, but I didn't like the idea of making a permanent modification to this high end of a collectible, seeing as I only bought one of them. And then it came to me! I would use a "twisty tie"! You know, like the ones that you use to keep bread bags closed. What you do is: 1) Burn off the paper covering. This leaves you with the bendy wire. And the flame turns the metal from silver to gray/black. 2) Wash off the wire with soap to insure that the black color is not soot that will rub off on the figures clothes. 3) Wrap it around the badge. 4) Make a bend that can fit over the ribbon. 5) Cut it to size 6) Clip it on the ribbon. Here is what it looks like: You have to look pretty close to notice it: I think it looks great and it's not permanently modifying the accessory. Give it a try!
  3. Got my Narrow Shoulder True Type yesterday! Had a lot of fun dressing and setting up the police officer version. her are some pics: Like this pose as it looks like he just took the shot and is about to drop the gun... The trick to getting the sleeves, collar, and tie just so is to use a tweezers! Really makes a profound difference!
  4. O.K., here is my first pose. (Can't believe I'm the first to do this... I don't count the above pics because they are from a third party;)) The expected grenade pose. Not the best for lighting, but shows the figure/pose OK. Look at the face! That's all for now. I think I am going to enjoy this pose for a while. Then I will do some work to straighten up some of the clothes. The shirt in particular has a wrinkle in it. I will use the distilled water trick to straighten everything a bit. I won't be touching the jacket though. I don't want to screw up the velvet. FYI, the jacket has a wire concealed inside the bottom edge so you can eliminate weird shapes down there and give the jacket the proper "weight." Very nice feature! One of many! Then on to new poses. I should be receiving my True Type Narrow Shoulder body next week. Then I can start playing with the Police Officer Joker stuff. Head sculpt is great. And love the hat (nice tight fit!)
  5. Well it's December!!!!!! Where is everybody?! I got my DX Joker and it's everything I could have imagined it would be! I love it and can't stop staring at it... and he stares back! I would like to share pics of poses and I thought I would check out this forum because this is where I talked about it first... but might have to find another community as it looks like this one has died out! No posts since October... really?!
  6. Just preordered mine at BBTS!!! That brings my grand total for MMS DX Joker and MMS DX Batman with collector upgrade to $368.98!!! Plus shipping! That's just nuts!!! But totally gonna be worth it! @cool@
  7. Holy Crap! Holy Crap! Holy Crap! Holy Crap! Holy Crap! They look so great! @sun@ Here's the direct link. (About 1/3 of the way down the page.) And I will be buying Batman too!!! But $200 is gonna hurt just a little.
  8. Holy Crap!!! I just noticed that the preorder date is set for December 2009! DECEMBER 2009!!!!!!!!!?????????? I can't wait that long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. I have been meaning to check them out (collectors edge), but I ordered my MMX DX Joker from BBTS a long time ago. I was just wondering if you knew where to shop for toys like this. SUPREMEQUEEN: When I first read you last post I was going to be mad because I paid the $176 price. But just checked the "My Account" page at BBTS and good news! My preorder price has been lowered to $166! But you probably already knew that!
  10. Oh my dear God!!! @yipee@ I promised myself that I would stop at the Joker, but If the Joker is as cool as I think it will be, I don't think I will be able to help myself. He might need a buddy on the shelf! It wouold be so rad if the MMS DX Batman came with a Bruce head and clothes. (Doubt the clothes though... isn't it impossible to get those rubber suits off?) [... really? Rambo and Rocky next? ...2 Stallones? ...there must be something out there with a higher demand...]
  11. Hey pooda, I see your from Milwaukee. I live just north of Milwaukee about 45 minutes. Small world! Do you know of anywhere in the Milwaukee area where figures of this quality are sold? The only place I know of that sells 1/6 scale figures is Graveyard Records, but they mostly just do the horror stuff.
  12. Another quick update: I asked the guy I mantioned in the above post if the socks are like sleeves. He said: So there you go.
