from the current livestream with John from queen studios, October 15th 1-2 TDK joker will be shown in las vegas, lets go!

This thing can’t release soon enough, Joker is easily the weakest link in my BEGINS/TDK display. Technically Scarecrow is the cheapest head sculpt but I don’t care because it’s a mask.

If I just gave him some ankle extensions he’d be pretty good with the Topo suit, the DX11 head even looks great from a distance but there’s a ton of room for improvement.

Did John have any relevant info this time? Everything they asks him something it’s always the PR response.

He said we will see the joker final product in october and it will ship in november or december

Kind of crazy if this actually releases this year at a good level of production quality. I'm too used to having to wait almost 2 years for Hot Toys to release a figure that getting something within 8-9 months from PO feels new.

 

[willy156]

yeah inart said they found a good production factory so theyre able to work fast

 

[TheBatman]

Its releasing fast since they dont have as much figures to produce as Hot Toys. I really hope InArt goes more quality, rather than quantity here and NOT go the way of Hot Toys.

 

[MaulFan]

Exactly, InArt's current production schedule is a fraction of Hot Toys'. The question will be, do they keep it that way to keep up quality, or if they're successful, will the turn into another Hot Toys and you're either waiting years for a piece, or quality drops to keep turn around faster.

So Inart is holding a type of showcase event next month?

yes, they are doing an event in las vegas

Wow, that event is only three hours, I thought it was a con or something. Looks like InArt will be leaving Las Vegas quickly (sorry!)

Didn’t they say this event was to try to get more licenses which is why they’re bringing the Joker production sample? When I heard/read that, I figured this was more of a presentation (to potential licensors) than a con.

 

[TheBatman]

Its like a recruiting event for licensee/licensor

 

[willy156]

hope it goes well for them and hoping to see people snap lots of pics/videos of the joker
since they mentioned brining 1-2 jokers gotta assume one is sculpted the other rooted?

Yep

InArt wanting to grab new licenses by showing off Joker production pieces is just another reason we have to feel confident that they will deliver a superb final product.

They may get sloppy and lazy and become a Hot Toys 2.0 eventually but these initial figures need to be impeccable for a multitude of reasons so I doubt we’ll ever feel regret for spending so much money on pieces that encapsulate such a significant time in the field of 1/6 collecting.

Well if not Inart then someone else. The amount of Chinese artists and companies on Instagram popping up creating much better sculpts is a lot, which says that there are a lot of people willing to pay more for better. So it gives to reason that the next step was always going to be a new company making more detailed expensive items, the want is there. Inart just need to step up and prove it.

Hopefully that BvS Superman comes true.
