This is what I’d like to see as well. I’ve got gripes with the oversized buttons and other details but overall, it steers more accurate than INART’s coat. I never felt INART’s was accurate. Looks good, but not really accurate.
I literally took 30+ screenshots of this scene for customs stuff, I know it's accurate...
Just like parts of the black around his eyes not dripping accurately, I've decided that things like this is why I will draw a ritual circle in blood and burn all my figures in the garden this weekend. Enough is enough.
Looks better on this one, but on Dean's copy it looks ugly. I hope it's an issue on a singular sculpt.
I never said it was an accuracy problem, I didn't even bring that word up dominishin did... I'm just saying it looks bad on the video.
Man, I’m all for constructive criticism, but this place is where joy goes to pay a man in a latex jumpsuit $10,000 to pull out a tarp and a lead pipe and beat it nearly to death. I’m sorry, but people need to remember we’re talking about Hot Toys, here. Perfection it ain’t, but, as someone who’s never dabbled in the customs realm, I don’t really see the use in comparing it to sculpts that cost 2-3 times what the full Artisan figure would. In my mind, I’m comparing it to the MMS 68, the MMS 79, the DX 01, the DX 11, the QS 010 and, the InArt two-pack and, in that respect? I’m happy as a ******* clam.
I want to further specify that I am 100% down for all the constructive criticism in the world during the prototype stage to make for the best final product possible. I just don’t personally see the use in hyperfixating on a dot or his having 15% too much hair when it’s actually a decent final product and runs circles around previous efforts. Like, I kind of see this **** in the same way as people look at 8K TVs. At some point, we’re talking about the law of diminishing returns and I don’t necessarily see the point. Barring using AI to recreate all the angles of a specific photo of Ledger, 3D printing all that **** with a road map of exactly where to individually punch each thinning strand of hair and then kidnapping Lindy Hemming and forcing her to oversee a sweatshop in China to make the perfect 1/6th Joker suit, I’m not really sure where we go from here.
Like, there’s always going to be room for improvement, but at which point does it just become an even bigger waste of money?
I don't know if it's the really the case or not but I figure you're talking about me so I'll just answer quickly.

The InArt lower lids are very pronounced and puffy looking compared to Heath's (or HT's for that matter) Plus the eyeballs themselves appear very cartoonish to me for reasons I can't put my fingers on. Like the iris and pupils are too black and whites too white? I mean I own it myself, so I'm not just going off pics. When I see it on the shelf, it almost looks like an animated version of the character, more than a representation of a live action Ledger/Joker.
Thank god they updated their eyes on the next figures, it's probably one of the worst part of this release. If they were to release it again now it would be much better I reckon.
But they’re not though. It’s just that there’s more of the “Raccoon eyes paint” closer together on the bridge of the nose, which creates a false illusion that they’re sculpted closer together.
Yes, they addressed that issue of the pronounced eye lids. Woo hoo, INART fixed them with each subsequent release. Hot Toys had the same problems back in the day too with their ancient figures with rolling eyes.
This is way more extensive than Darth Vader imo, it’s crazy lol. Everyone has an opinion on Ledger Joker whereas only a smaller minority know the minutiae of Vader
