1/6 Hot Toys - MMS752AE The Joker (Batman Imposter Version)

Hairline looks better here...

A bit of touch up paint to give it a bit of a wet look, also to camouflage the printing technique they’ve annoyingly decided to go back to.

Followed by adjustments to the hairline, pulling strands out throughout the sculpt, adding the correct amount of tones where they should be. Restyling, adjusting the eyes to mirror Heath. That’s the fun part about this hobby to me, work with the base you’ve been given.

Inart hairline shape/area cover better.. but artisan one's hair looks like hair and not a doll hairline if that makes sense. Prefer the artisan sculpt too, can't decide on the paintjob.

As is, out of the box, looks like HT won this round on head sculpt.

Likely going to be a tie on clothing -- some good here, other bits better there

InArt will win on accessories.

I still think HT version is a bit…on the more handsome side. It IS ledger…but different.

Anyhow, I’m tired of these comparisons that use a clearly “Last Batch-end of the day about to clock out but the boss told me I have a few more to hair” InArt Joker…so this is a more apt comparison.



Just the two.


But let’s bring in a still from the movie for good measure.




HT is a good sculpt. But saying it’s superior is a bit of a stretch…


EDIT-sorry, the sculpt HT purchased and repurposed is a good sculpt.

I wish someone would strip the InArt so we can see the sculpt.

Lol the InArt lips look hilarious. In what world is that realistic.. hang it up.

Nick. Let’s bury the hatchet. I call for a truce. Deal?

However I will continue to present a fair argument. So let’s carry on without animosity towards each other.

We’re all collectors here. Our numbers are dwindling on this forum. We don’t need anymore ‘enemies’. We don’t have to be friends, but acquaintances.

Cool?

Huh? Are you serious? Sometimes I question your assessments even with how much I think you're detail oriented with Joker related stuff.

The HT hairline is awful. They gave him the hairline of a 15 year old.

Again, think the hairline will just vary. Even their WW had varying harilines with some being straight and others having a widows peak.

Even in the photos at the top of this page? Feel bad for that 15 year old.

Why does HT paint look awfull. its not even accurate to the movie.

Its like somebody accidentally splattered some black paint on it

I think the quality of the hair will vary, similarly to the Inarts. Some came out great and others did not.

I don’t mean to start anything with you man, but to claim the new sculpt isn’t better is crazy. To point out the fact they “stole” the sculpt, continuously, would be to admit it to be better no? No one questions where a bad sculpt came from genuinely.

I understand you don’t like Howard’s business plan or his personality that you seem to know to a T. It’s when you take it to the lengths of undermining product that artists are making, through a biased lense. I don’t care about Howard or the other CEOs of his competing companies, I care about Ledger Joker in sixth scale, enough.

Everyone does this...welcome to collecting...

Me to InArt now that the artisan is revealed

The skin texture on inart is better hot toys over did it but I gotta say we've come far in this hobby. If you look back 5 years ago rooted meant Barbie hair unless it was custom.

Now we've got licensed companies, 3rd party giving us some incredible stuff!

Truth is everyone has their own take on Ledger Joker and there will never be a perfect one because of everyone having preferences. However we have some dam good ones!
