Two Face
Two
Face
in The Dark Knight
Another Dark
Knight Hot Toys figure Harvey Dent (Two Face). Now hot on the heels of both the
Bat Pod and Bank Robber Joker (BRJ) comes everybody’s favorite DA, Mr Harvey
Dent, the good man turned bad, but not just your average fall from grace. Two-Face was once Harvey Dent, the clean-cut district attorney of Gotham
City and an ally of Batman.
"You either die a hero or you live long
enough to see yourself become the villian."
Harvey Dent was Gotham City's District Attorney.
He earns the name of Gotham City's White Knight. He gets disfigured in an
explosion and manipulated by the Joker, turning him into the villainous
Two-Face. He is portrayed by Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight.
Yulli’s work once
again shines. She is credited on the back of the box as prototype sculptor, but
when this figure was first announced it was said that the scarred side was by
an ‘un-named’ sculptor, I’m sure some contractual legality has led to this
statement, or perhaps Yulli didn’t want to take the heat of a fan-boy backlash
(those fan boys can be quite the pedants don’t you know). But whoever did it
I’m impressed by every sculpted element of this figure. For Harvey Dent DA mode
you get the extra ‘undamaged’ jacket, they even have working inside chest
pockets on both sides, pure quality.
You might find
that when wearing his ‘damaged’ jacket it restricts his arm mobility a little
and the material used to mimic the burnt and scorched fabric is quite thick,
but Harvey was never that much of an action-man, and most will just want to
find a general pensive looking stance, and for that this figure is more than
capable. Harvey uses the ‘true type’. It’s the best base generic body out there
right now, it stands like a dream and showcases Hot Toys masterful tailoring
perfectly, as my wife once said ‘it just looks like a little man’, well that’s
the idea.
The Two face head
seems to utilise half of the previous sculpt, I’ve scrutinised it pretty closely
and every aspect from his dimpled chin to the fall of his hair is exactly the
same. The hair parting is moved over slightly to make way for the scarred scalp
which blends down into his disfigured face this shows some great anatomical
work on the eyeball and especially on the exposed muscles and sinews around his
teeth and gums. Not as ‘comic book’ as the Tommy Lee Jones version but neither
was it too Grey’s anatomy as far-fetched and ghoulish as the floating eyeball
is, along with the exposed teeth and flashes of bone it just give the right
look to this character, and shows enough hard core damage.
Comes with 4
different hands, two in a relaxed position and one newly sculpted gun grip for
his revolver and a specially designed hand for holding the eddy biddy badge and
coins he comes with, and as tiny as they are the coins are all sculpted and the
button badge even has a pin sculpted on the back, so all in all the addition of
the extra head gives you so much more opportunity for swapping characters this
just has to be full marks.
Mr Dent comes with
some of the tiniest accessories to date, but all very specific to his
character… sorry, characters. We get two tiny double-sided coins, expertly
sculpted at this scale (handy as you’re bound to lose one!), a tiny campaign
badge emblazoned with ‘I BELIEVE IN HARVEY DENT’, and they even modelled a
miniscule pin on the reverse. He also comes with a revolver, the chamber can
flip out and the hammer cocked (it’s the same one that came with the Michael
Scofield ‘spec-ed’ Prison Break figure), then there’s the stand, which is nice
as it has the TDK logo and character name, but I never use them.
And lastly there’s
the extra un-burnt Harvey Dent head and jacket, these are the key items keeping
the score so high. As nice as the coins, badge and gun are, it’s the ability to
swap this figure between his two alter egos’ that deserve all the praise. More
‘casual’ collector have the allure of Bats or the Joker. This figure is more
for your hard-core 1/6 collector or serious Batman fan, and as such HT have
rewarded us with a figure that doesn’t skimp on quality, and whilst not as
laden with accessories as the recent BR Joker, that extra head goes a long way
in clawing back a few extra Brownie points.
