Heath Ledger Joker Customs

It's now a Korea exclusive project, at least for now he will not send any of them outside of his country.
It seems like he really don't want his project to succeed...

The paint really does make it look like a 2010 Hot Toys release, lol

Good sculpt though. Had potential. Shame.

It's the black around the eyes that ruins it.

I'll ask him to paint the inside of the mouth on mine.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to paint and not really worth the trouble as you won't see it anyways.
I remember asking something similar for my first headsculpt and he said that it wasn't necessary and he was totally right haha.
It's just our nitpicky nature, i'm just like you on that.

Yup. But it also looks dull.

Paint makes a hell of a difference.. this is the See Art sculpt by a different painter. It looks like a different sculpt.

Yeah it reminds me of xXx serious headsculpt that looks totally different when Yuan and Heise do it.

I wouldn’t mind a sculpt with a softer jawline like this with the eyes in a similar position. I get tired of seeing every sculpt with eyes looking up into the brow line, clenched jaw, or confused mouth.

You should commissioned it. It would be an awesome sculpt for sure.

I wonder what a Yixie commission costs.

By the way... is por toys on sabbatical?

The only one I’ve seen that looks vaguely similar is one of Adam’s sculpts. I feel like that’s one of the rare moments you can see Heath peek through The Joker, always wanted a sculpt like that.

I think it's 2000/2500 USD for a sculpt by Yixie. I don't remember the exact number.

I think xXx smilling sculpt is the best headsculpt if you want Heath peaking through The Joker.
I can't wait to get back home and take some pictures of this one.

That’s the thing, I don’t think the smiling sculpts resemble Heath or his Joker imo. Likeness has to be fully there to throw more money at Ledger sculpts for me.

Yuans best work, I’d love to have this sculpt but with hair done by Heise.

I'm done repainting the DX19 Joker Style. Next step is to make a custom cape.

That’s some clean painting!

Personally I’ve just never, ever understood the appeal of this.

Thanks man !
This time I tried to do my own version and get away from that graphiti style everyone does usually.

And yeah I can understand why it's not appealing to you, it's definetly not for everyone.
I always thought the idea was pretty cool and since I have so many Joker I wanted something original for the next one.
Plus it's really fun to work on a project like that, I did it with my gf too so it makes it even more special.

I guess it's no longer a Korea exclusive. Must be having a hard time selling. Heck, even John's took some time and that one was ace.

I think the market is slowing down.

Probably more need for outfit runs than more sculpts.
