Hot Toys The Dark Knight Joker DX/Artisan 1/6 Scale Figure

Heath Ledger Joker is the most singularly amusing property in drawing out so much debate, venom and elitism in this hobby for the last 15 years.

Looks like we are going to get back into early 2010’s level shitshow once dx33 gets out in the wild. It’s laughable how the DC board fires up and turns into such a circus with a few sought after releases.

Inart and Hot Toys releasing versions so close together has amplified this to legendary lunacy levels. The offerings are starting to get closer to the customs far more than before, which is getting the customs crowd uneasy. Just going to have to spend $5k+ on sculpts to size queen over the plebes. Customizers are licking their chops for all that excess they’ll enjoy charging.

I’m starting to miss all the Marvel crap burying DC down to tamer levels. Hope the mods are stocked full of bourbon and smoke for the holidays.

I agree to a point. But most of this discussion about color choices and preferences has been really friendly.

Also, in fairness, this is a forum designed to endlessly discuss these figure releases. So, if anyone comes here, they shouldn’t be surprised if that’s exactly what they find endlessssssss discussion about the tiniest details that normies would be stunned by. I mean we’re all mad here, lol.

Hot toys really are crappy for giving this guy a black body. They're like "oh you guys can have a flesh tone body and ungloved hands when you buy our $450 prison scene joker, you suckers" and it's not like you couldn't see heaths wrist/arm while he was wearing the coat anyway. The mob scene his coat was coming down when he was holding the grenade string anyway. I liked how that looked.

Because its so cyclical with DC properties having a more aggressive fanbase. The Joker especially attracts by the character's nature, more anarchist/contrarian and short wicked followers. The behavior has been tracible in this hobby and specifically on this board for a long time from the shift of MM068 to DX01, DX11, Inart and DX33 (and soon JND). There is no other board area or threads that get shut down, suspended or disinfected/cleaned than JOKOR and DC.
