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

[Akiratang]

Your assessment is fair, the sculpt isn't perfect for sure, the hairline is slightly off, as you mentioned, and it's a bit over-textured. The texture comes across stronger as you're zoomed in on the camera and such, However, when seen in person, I was really impressed by it. My photos might not be the best, but I can see Heath from almost every angle.

Under good lighting, with the right pose and head tilt, the sculpt really shines, in my opinion. I recently showed it to a non-collector, and they were blown away by its realism. While it might be dethroned by JND’s upcoming version or a possible Inart 2.0, and of course, there are always custom options, though they're costly and come with long wait times. I truly believe this is the best mass-produced Joker head on the market right now. I prefer collecting the best available, and at this moment, I think this is probably it.

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.

First impressions… wow, I love it! Crazy detail in the face… I personally think this is a cool figure that pops on the shelf. So far my only complaint is trying to adjust the eyes… I thought it was difficult on a regular figure but it’s even more difficult on this artisan. The eyes are very hard to reach and trying to pull that piece of the head off creates a lot of anxiety. With how this turned out I have no doubts artisan Anakin will deliver.

That sculpt wipes the floor with Inart. It's not even debatable imo.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I didn’t get this version, but kinda regretting it lol. This does make me more excited for the purple coat release! Just sold my InArt 2-pk. I think the paint apps on HT really make it pop!

The paint apps really make HT stand out! I don’t mind InArt sculpt and repainted it looks awesome. But HT did a better job out of the box 100%. And with the head tilted down I like the HT expression.

I had this one in hand and I was not impressed at all in the end. The hairline is terrible, completely off.

I see an angry clown, but I don't see Ledger.

I'd still like to see this in hand and see if there's anything that can be done with that hairline, considering you have "make-up" to play with.

Few more pics in the light today. I do have the artisan purple coat on PO too, so will be interesting to compare. I will probably use the tongue on the purple coat version to make it a little different.
