The eyes are positioned too narrow in the InArt version. It is more obvious on this sculpt, but both suffer from this problem. Apart from this, all is good. But this eye thing throws the likeness away.

If you compare the Hot Toys sculpt with INART’s, Hot Toys’s has less paint spilling onto the bridge of his nose therefore giving the impression the nose bridge is broader and eyes are wider apart. INART has more paint spillage on the nose bridge, so it gives the illusion the eyes are positioned too close.

the eyes on IA are a bit closer:

I foresee HT doing a second version with different makeup and bare hands for the jail scene, perhaps a bench and some bars.

Yeah, the current version is a "clean" makeup version, so perhaps if or when they make another one it'll have this makeup.

Or some kind of DX with the Nurse costume finally.
 
fingers crossed my waitlist converts any time soon. I only wanted this for the sharp and smooth clothing alone but I low key want the rooted hair version for obvious reasons. I'm still happy with my DX 12 considering the accessories and dioramas it came with.

Really?? I wouldn’t get a Nurse Joker but would love to see the figure
I’m sure the next Joker DX will be the jail scene without purple coat

Allegedly. INART asked about it but WB said they don’t allow that. Which would make sense and line up with there never being a Nurse Joker after all these years, even with Hot Toys. But we hate INART, so let’s not take their word and continue to wishfully hope lol

I know we don't know for sure, but that seems to be the case considering, as fairly recent example, Iron Studios made a prototype shown back at SDCC 2019 that never went up for PO

That's the oddity in it all because how did they even get approval to make it and then display it at SDCC? Which requires license approval to show off. Really bizarre situation.

I mean, there are clearly differences in the sculpts. Some swear by the InArt, others the HT. Thankfully there's a version for everyone.

I'm not a Ledger Joker purist, like some. So I don't tend to be hyper critical over figures of him but the eyes on the InArt definitely caught my attention to the point that I wasn't interested in it, personally.

I think the hairline is supposedly off with the HT but Idc. It doesn't stand out to me, I guess. There's no way in seven Hell's that I'd consider the HT if I already plopped down the cash for the InArt, though.

I’m always curious about those situations. I know there was that Sideshow Deckard they toted around SDCC back in 2017, but I’m assuming they didn’t have a Blade Runner license for a 1/6 figure and just wanted to show off the interest.

* the eyes are fine if you do the mod.

I think both are good, do things better or worse than the other in their own ways, but to say the INART is a** as so many are saying is disingenuous imo. But I get it, people stick to whatever narrative they have.

I really do think the INART needs more work in order for it to look good. Hot Toys is more ready out the box, imo.

I think I’ll keep my Artisan and keep parts I prefer like the coat and part out the rest. Idk

I believe companies can showcase things even if it’s not officially approved yet. I believe they have the excerpt which states: pending licensing approval or something like that. I feel like I’ve seen that before. But I might be wrong lol

Both products are impressive, especially considering they are mass-produced.

Hot Toys' sculpted hair I'd considered superior to InArts'. It was their first release, but InArt's sculpted hair appeared bulky and similar to dreadlocks.

However, InArt has made improvements in this area. Their sculpted Batman hair, for instance, has been well-received. Compared to their rooted version I honestly would have purchased a standard Batman instead. Rooted looks fine, but value wasn't there as much unless you're going to display him without the cowl.

In conclusion, when comparing rooted hair, choose the expression you prefer! Both are bangers! For sculpted hair, Hot Toys is generally seen as having a more realistic appearance.

Yeah the sculpted isn’t really good on INART’s. Of course Hot Toys sculpted is better. I’ve mainly been talking about the rooted offerings.

I also think the Batman rooted sculpt is pointless as the cowl should be the preferred sculpt to use, but people do like it and definitely find it valuable.

For rooted, I really do think if both are modded with restyled and thinned out hair (Hot Toys has thick hair strands as well) INART will edge it out, IMO.
