I don't get the urge to cancel based on the sequel. I mean, I ordered HT Joker because I liked the character in the original film (which is what the figure is based upon). Even if the sequel is as bad as many are saying (I have yet to see it myself), that doesn't diminish the original. It's like canceling your Indiana Jones Lost Ark figure because you hated Temple of Doom. I mean, to each their own, but it makes no sense to me.

There’s a difference though, this isn’t Joker. It’s Arthur Fleck.

Officially canceled! Hit up Sideshow and they refunded my NRD, second time they refunded my NRD within a month. Still can’t believe the sequel made me make this decision but it’s done.

Again, this is my decision. If you’re a fan of Todd’s “Joker”, by all means, don’t cancel cause a bunch of us are. The first one is still a great film, I just no longer have the need to warrant a $500 dollar figure for it anymore.

You’re a real one for this. They refunded my NRD and cancelled him. I don’t know that the sequel was so bad it soured me on the character/changed my mind so much as reaffirmed that my previous attachment to this version of the character was tenuous at best and that my Artisan PO was fueled more by FOMO than a genuine love for Phoenix’s Joker.

I haven’t seen the sequel yet but everyone else cancelling makes me wonder if I should too.
FOMO... on cancelling.
It's likely you're just experiencing FUD. If you wanted the figure initially, chances are you still want it. A bad movie or others canceling their orders shouldn’t change your decision.
If the figure turns out great, you might feel FOMO later and regret not sticking with your original choice.

I just worry that I’ll get the figure and it’ll plummet in value or sit in stock forever and be offered at high discounts. Then I’d feel stupid buying it at full Artisan price.
Orders dwindling... InArt will only make what they have in orders, maybe a few more as back-ups.
There was also talk of the WB Embargo being lifted and InArt doing something more affordable than $1,000+... but I imagine InArt doesn't want any further work being done on Fleck, and WB has probably waved their hand at taking anymore time with this license.
It's done.

I just think it’s a little premature to cancel. If the sequel is this bad, it’ll be burped out and forgotten by the cultural zeitgeist so fast that people will be surprised to find out that Folie a Deux even exists in 2-3 years time. Hell, I think most people forgot Aquaman had 3 films, or even in this thread that Wonder Woman 84 exists. Did you know there was a Birds of Prey movie?
But the first film will still be talked about for a long time.
