I'd honestly be surprised if we even got Dumbledore. Sales on Harry doesn't seem to be all that crazy, let alone for Ron and Hermione which probably sold far less than him. I hope they don't bail on Dumbledore and Snape because of it. Maybe it's a license that Viper is a big fan of.
Because the world is currently undergoing a drought in custom Ledger Joker sculpts, vincentoy stepped up and is offering a new unpainted sculpt done by lu1yo314. Very similar to John's in terms of expression but with an open mouth + swappable tongue like Hot Toys...
Probably how it feels for any company that would dare to even attempt to step on Hot Toys toes for Marvel and Star Wars. They'll probably have an iron fist on that for years to come.
I just don't believe that Catwoman was made to 60k. Barely anyone is getting that figure or talking about it. What did Darth Vader and The Batman do then? 300k+...?
I actually like how much more "natural" John's paint work is. Yuan's looks a little too clean? Almost manufactured if that makes sense. John's version has a more hand painted applied look to it.
Yeah that's why I'm saying that silicone sculpt isn't gonna sell anywhere near the asking price. The expression is very similar to the awkward expression JND did on their second sculpt. Which I think was going after the "Hit Me" expression but failed at nailing the anger in it through the eyes...
