The very first DX was Heath Ledger as the Joker- Extra accessories and awesome Collectable boxes make for a very special Collectable. However the main difference between the MMS (movie masterpiece series) and DX are the functionalities- being the pers system which stands for parallel eyeball rolling system- the eyes move! This is great for capturing poses / stop motion / photography and adds an extra element of realism to the Collectable piece.
