[Hando]

Queen's management message:

Joker is under production now. We will share wit you some production progress later

INART is a new brand, Joker is our first 1/6 figure, it's all about our reputation. Our whole team will not allow any problem/issue with Joker

I understand people may worry, there are lots of concerns. But it's meaningless to keep convince you by words instead of deliver the figure to you

I understand that some people treat it as gambling, and you choose to bet on INART, we are thankful for your trust. It's a gamble for you but not for us, we are not gambling, we will do our best and deliver a good figure to you

If you still doubt about our product, you may wait to check the Joker on your hand before you continue to preorder next INART figure

***I try to translate it in a rush, poor english****

I cant fu**ing wait!!!!

I don’t view it as a gamble and I bought two sets.

It’s simple, if Joker sucks, then I’m not buying other figures or Queen Art products. If it ends up being a solid figure however, I’ll be tempted to buy more from them. Joker here dictates whether or not I buy Batman, Aragorn, etc.

I’ve pissed and **** away a $1000 before, a doll isn’t going to break me. I just want to have fun and this Joker looks awesome. We’ll see.

No stress. Hope it turns out great.

Can we wait, though? I know for me if they can keep the quality in the realm of the protos, I would buy all three of the LOTR figures they've teased. But I want to see how they do with the Joker before I "bet" on another NRD for Gandalf. Wonder if there are more people like me. Wish they'd do the HT thing of being able to preorder pretty much until early reviews but I understand they are not at the scale of HT.

I have no concerns about the company or product, but I am concerned pairing this joker with a hot toys batman will be like pairing a hot toys figure with a sideshow figure

 

[willy156]

The Dx19 is really good, only thing I'm worrying is if the height will be a good match with inarts joker

 

[Hando]

When Inart makes bales batman its going to blow the dx19 out of the water.

This is the only one I worry about. Bale has one of those weird likenesses people seem to have trouble with and Queen’s 1/3rd statue left a lot to be desired (both cowled and uncowled) and was arguably way worse than HT’s 1/4 scale offering. I trust they won’t make the same mistakes twice, but that one’s definitely a “wait and see” for me.

 

[Victοr]

I already paid for my DX19, so I'm not in for a new Baleman. Were I a megafan I could be talked into it, but I mostly wanted it as a companion piece to Joker so I'm fine with an 8/10 product even if a 9/10 comes along. Personally, I want them to make a Nolan Ras, and even more than that I want IA to get the Arkham license and give me an AK Batman without the HT's problems. I'm at that stage Batman-wise were I just need one great batsuit to represent him and his world, so aside from some holes in the Nolanverse, or a Battinson I could buy because I like Pattinson, I'm over my Batphase. It's similar to Spider-Man where I just want a Tobey-Man and I'll be able to call it a day.

Regardless, I'm still in the "wait and see" camp. We still don't know if they'll pull it off. And even if they do pull off Joker, every figure is a different case, so who's to say they'll hit another homerun with their Baleman? The 22-23 slate of their first figures will determine whether they can both produce a great figure aside from just a proto, and show if they can keep it up consistently.

Wish a company would do a proper 1/6 Begins suit and a Ra's over anything else.

Insane how all we've gotten from Hot Toys is a ****** reissue of a 11 year old figure and Ra's head on a 1/4 base.

Easy pass on that begins figure

Begins suit needs justice yup

I need a Ras badly. I was hoping for an Arkham City version, but it'll never happen at this point, and having scrapped the Batshelf, Nolan Ras would fit with my planned displays better next to Ledger and Bale. He'd make for a pretty nice "deluxe" package with pieces for both the armoured, ninja and suit looks.

I still don't understand why they never did him. Neeson signs off on pretty much everything and was even willing to appear in Arrow. And HT made Joseph Gordon-Levitt's cop character, so this is just mind boggling.

Mars Toys did a decent version of Ra's, but I'd love a HT or Inart to replace it.

I’m not into 3rd-Party stuff myself. Sometimes they look cool enough but I can’t in good conscience add them next to my other stuff. The only exception I can think of that would fit next to official figures, is the recent LIM Arthur.

As for Ras himself, I’ve given up on HT doing him. For now I’m hoping IA will get to him. By 2025, maybe, with they way their schedule is set… Still, I’m hoping.

 

[ironwez20]

I hope that those that paid 1000 get there money worth

 

[Captain Clown]

As one of those suckers, I hope so too.

It looks like a quality figure. I’m hoping it comes out great so that hot toys won’t be the only company to look at for high end figures.

I was trying to think of a great villain since 2008's Joker... has there been one in 14 years of the MCU, or any movie for that matter? I mean, a really great villain, great performance, up there in Top 10 level? You know, Darth Vader, Hannibal Lector, Ledger Joker, and ...

Finally we are able to answer this question

 

[user 72759]

When I assess how great a villain is I always think about three things, performance, how compelling the character is by themselves, and if their presence is unavoidable in pop-culture. Would they get put on your radar even if you hadn’t seen the film?

The only ones that come close I can think of are Bane, Thanos, and Homelander.

Bane’s performance is there IMO and he definitely has quotes and stylistic aspects like his voice that have deeply infiltrated pop culture and are still seen and heard ten years later, but as a character he’s not as compelling because that movie was supposed to be more about Bruce so the villains are treated a bit more like plot devices than Joker who’s presence in TDK is intended to make Batman seem pointless for most of the movie.

Thanos is compelling and has quotes and ideas that have infiltrated the public conscious but the performance doesn’t stand out to me.

Homelander’s performance is there, he’s a very compelling and somehow kind of likable bad guy despite being diabolical, yet I don’t feel like he’s infiltrated the public conscious.

There really aren’t many that stand out in all three areas and I struggle to even remember who most marvel villains were… Palpatine doesn’t count because he’s recycled from the 80s lol.
