I keep my shoes loosely tied enough to not fall off, but be able to slip on without tying every day.
So I'm... not the target market for this.

I really like the JND sculpt.
Yesterday I have unboxed the HT Artisan.
I don't know what HT was thinking with the hair color. Barely any variation, just light green.
The color and hairline throws off the likeness for me.
Additionally the face paint didn't impress me at all.
InArt has the best hair, especially the jail scene Joker and I like their matte face paint. Unfortunately the likeness isn't as good as JND and HT.
Therefore I'll most likely prefer JND's sculpt over any other licensed release.
Hot Toys Artisan vs InArt Jail Scene (Quick phone pics):
I agree with the hair on the JND. I don't understand why they made it dark green. In some places it's almost black.
On top of that, it's completely straight and therefore looks too long. That's quite disappointing.
Assembly doesn't look too difficult. I think they made it as easy as possible.
Attaching the tie has usually been the most annoying part for me while doing kitbashes, but their system looks to be working great.
Also, as @Chopper Face mentioned, It's a good way to get familiar with the figure body.
Edit: typo
For the people that complained that InArt was too much work to get to look right... you have to strip this Joker just to put his head on.
I suppose its a good thing there's only one useable head in this 2-head set.
Man, I wish I had a INART rooted neutral sculpt with more green dye and brown roots. Only downside to the copy I have.

The lack of suspenders is appalling for sure, at this price point it should come with a full suit. While IA and HT does come with it, seems the bash idea I had in mind will still move forward. Shame since the pants cut and fit look good on this one too! This is definitely looking more promising.
Not sure why anyone expected not to have to undress the figure to get the heads on considering the way the neck is done with it sculpted all the way to the upper chest, which appears to be necessary for the whole internal mechanism. It definitely sucks for those who have no desire to ever futz their figures. But, it should've been known and expected just based on the proto pics that this is not a take out of the box and plop on the stand type of figure.
For me, if I were getting this, it would be no different than swapping heads on the InArt figure(s), b/c I've always undone the shirt and tie when swapping the heads anyway to get the best fit of the collar and tie.
I do like the way the layers look to pretty effortlessly slide over each other. Don't really see any bunching.
Shirt and vest look great and well tailored. Love the micro buttons as well. Tie looks to be the best stock tie, too. I like the tabbing mechanism at the back as well. Makes it fairly easy to take the tie on and off instead of having to loosen and tighten the tighten the tie to get the fit right.
Blazer looks like it could be on par with HT, but both are looking better than InArt's.
Lack of suspenders is a BIG no, no at this point. It was with the DX11 (especially considering the DX01 had them) and it is here as well. In my opinion, InArt's are the best stock ones, particularly the way they did the suspenders.
Still, I'm intrigued with this release and something has me wondering what it would be like in-hand

whose selling for $1.25
Looking at the hair on each, inart seems to look the most natural of the 3 or implemented best? HT's seems to have more volume and as if they just slapped gel on one go to hold it down. Very noticeable at the top. JND's looks like separate smaller clumps of strands stuck together.
Really need a three-way comparison between JND vs HT vs InArt in one clear photo.
Well whoever does it, as long as they position the eyes well on all three of them. Ideally, all of them on same plane too and from an optimal angle.

A three-way always requires an "optimal angle".
Well, some people are stupid so. As long as they capture them on the same plane.

Wow... I didn't realize they were all so... dead-on in their likeness.
Also a good example of why I'm glad Heath can't revisit the character 20-30 years later.

Hair wise InArt has the best color and hairline. JND has the best (lack of) hair volume, Hot Toys is neither.
The suspenders aren't a big deal to me since you don't see them. One less thing to make it bulky is a plus to me. However, I still prefer more squared shoulders and a darker colored purple coat. Will probably switch it with a Topo 2.0 to see if thats better
Really curious what the JND would look like with full on Panda makeup. Heavy white and heavy dark circles around his eyes.. Not that anyone wants to customize such an expensive figure.
