    This thread convinced me to go ahead and order one. Sounds like Toycade has great customer service.

      My only complaint was I wish it had come with the Pagliacci head.

        The head was probably cost prohibitive. I could see them making it for a villains accessory pack.

          looks like a Dark Knight Joker bank robber mask head would work, I think Austin has them.

              Got mine too, unfortunately half of one eyebrow was painted in a thick black paint in an attempt to touch it up.

              The sleeve was also glued to the right hand from where the black puff was glued on and leaked through onto the hand. Fixed that without damage, but the head really sucks.

                I'd contact them, their customer service is really good. Might get a new head shipped.

                  I've heard that these heads are near impossible to remove, is that true?

                    Unfortunately, I think one of the main objectives of the exclusives is to re-use the existing tooling to spread out the cost over more figures. Add in that the exclusive figures are a smaller run than the regular line, and doing a new head would probably bust the budget on these.

                      I did it with WGSH series one but haven't tried with the '66 figures yet.

                        I removed heads on these with the pop and boil water thing. It makes the head and neck plug soft enough to pull it out of the body. I had to use a flat screwdriver to help a bit, but it worked.

                            I haven't opened the figure yet (just got him), but seeing King Tut on the back made me want to cry. I've waited so long for my Tut-Tut, and now he's on the way. Ra smiles on me...

                            As for the figure, I'm going to open him tonight. It looks like they did a great job on it, and I still get a huge kick out of the sculpted 'stache and hint of a wash on the '66 Joker head. I was so disappointed on the Mattel 6" figure when the sculpted facial hair vanished and was replaced by a sloppy splotch of paint; the FTC version is done just right.

                              Received my figure this week and he's excellent. I think I'm going to keep mine sealed since I have a regular Joker for display. The back of the card shows allot of exciting characters to come.
