1/6 Hot Toys - MMS752AE The Joker (Batman Imposter Version)

[batfan08]

It’s all good friend.



Bro, this is not something I want to win in!!

It’s like Alien vs Predator up in this *****. “Whoever wins, we lose.” I don’t know. I’m still rooting for my Artisan Joker (no pun intended), because I really dig the shot of him with his tongue out and his knife behind his ear, but I kind of wish they’d stop keeping us on the hook for 2.0s and 3.0s and just sell us modular upgrades and sculpts for their existing figures. If InArt can send random ass detonators and kitchen and woodland dioramas for their figures, they can sell different sculpts.

As for Hot Toys, I don’t know. They can sell their future sculpt on a Purple Catwoman body…

HT vs a few custom sculpts.

Speaking of the 1/4 scale figure, what odds of HT doing a 1/4 scale Artisan Joker?

 

[Wor-Gar]

The custom looks like he's saying Hit Me angrily... and the Hot Toys looks like he's afraid the bike will hit him!

 

[TheBatman]

Like he changed his mind, last second, about getting hit.

This was the photo I was referring to with regards to some change happening when it went through HT’s repurposing.

And in my defense, I wasn’t posting “the Jokaren” photo in bad faith nor was I comparing one over the other. I’m criticizing it on its own merits. Just pointing out this particular hair job is less than optimal.

It's crazy that HT just copied the sculpt but still couldn't get it right...

Yup! It’s like a photocopy of the original. It’s there…but something got lost in the process.

I could be very wrong in saying JC Hong had something to do with it…

But I don’t think I am

Looking like a demon here.

(Yes, it’s a cherry-picked bad pic, just wanted to share lol).

 

[Berry The Music Man]

it's nice looking but no need for this in my collection .

 

[Wor-Gar]

Bad eyes...

 

[TheBatman]

Whoever owns that figure doesn't know what they're doing, lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

I don't fully understand the desire for that figure to begin with, so...

I took a risk with the Imposter head and Im very happy with it, definitely a big upgrade for me over my sculpted inart joker.

Looks great! Definitely an improvement! How was the styling out of the box? I have the Purple Coat artisan in preorder.

Out of the box the left side was sticking out abit. But I wetted it down with some water and a clean paint brush, that seemed to help me bring the hair closer to his face.

Other than that it was good, but I didn't enjoy accessing the rolling eye feature. It said to use the included tweezers to access the back panel, but I couldnt get the leverage.. so I resorted to using a flathead screw driver. Once you do get it opened though it was fine to adjust the eyes.

Thanks! Yeah I saw in a review those eyes looked tougher to get too.

I can’t help myself. As mich as I want to like it, this is simply not a good sculpt anymore. Hairline, expression, texture… it’s just not good. Personally I feel remembered to the very first Joker HT sculpt but not in a positive way. People were trying to glorify that sculpt aswell, just to hide it under a wig and a mask, when the nurse set came out. Not saying this one needs a wig, but a mask wouldn’t hurt.
Hope noone feels offended as this is not my intention.
