Would be sweet if this drops in November! I'm pretty content with getting the sculpted version.

Came to post these photos..
The eyes look off to me, really sunken and lifeless looking. Maybe it's the PERS?

Yeah I'm really not liking how obviously cut out the eyes look in the closeup pics. It's absolutely killing the realism for me.

They just released an Iron Man

I hope InArt come out with The Batman Penguin also

Overall more satisfied than not with them both from these photos. Seems like Inart just put in some really poor shows prior, hopefully they've learned from it. POSE YOUR BLOODY FIGURES WELL! And get them reviewed by better people.

Can't believe the photos coming out from the prison Joker having T shoulders. This type of stuff can break or make a continuation of a pre-order, unbelievable at some of their handlings but as long as it's a teething problem, and this looks like it's going to come out well, along with a fantastic looking Batman, I think Inart should be comfortable in what praise they'll probably receive.

I still have some issues with things, PERS eyes for one, tailoring taking a step down and rather boring portraits for others, but this is easily the best Joker on the mass market.

It's been a ride! Looking forward to the in-hand reviews.

Also, can't remember, was there discussion there were no suspenders in this release? As in one of the pictures you can see he has suspenders.

I wonder how soon it is till we start seeing in hand pics. Hopefully mid to late November maybe?

Wow that looks good! I dont understand all the complaints!

It does but I can understand and see some of the complaints. Small stuff but it's that Inart set the bar high on the prototype that some have come to expect for the same thing with production pieces. With Hot Toys, it's you get what you see for the most part and we also know the product doesn't and will not touch the quality or features of custom pieces. Sometimes we do get a better or worse product with HT and they do get praised or raked over the coals as deserved. I don't think Inart should be exempted from it if warranted.

A lot of the complaints revolved around things that were eventually resolved with better lighted photos and a better futzed figure.

I remember I was critical at first but then realized its still the best mass produced joker and better than the DX 11. Just tapered expectations and the new pics swayed me in paying off my preorder. It's a solid figure.

Pretty much. Yes there are downgrades but again, it was never gonna fully match the prototype to begin with. This isn't a figure that was made in 30-60 quantities. It's mass produced at a big scale. I'm just glad they were able to get the quality they did considering all other licensed companies producing figures at this scale has such a massive downgrade when going from prototype to production compared to Hot Toys.

It's great to finally see a company matching them in that department when it comes from production quality. We've gotten nothing but massive downgrades from a lot of the other companies.

Let's just hope what we've seen recently is actually what we receive in the box.

I heard somewhere a while back that Inart and Hot Toys are using the same factories. I’m not sure how much truth is in that, but it would help explain how they’ve been able to avoid as many QC issues as other new companies have faced out the gate.
I’m sure it also helps that Inart is just a branch off of Queen Studios and not entirely a new company starting from scratch, struggling with likenesses and tailoring.

Let's just hope what we've seen recently is actually what we receive in the box.

This. Although I’m impressed with these latest photos, I’m still cautiously optimistic. With every photo and video we’ve seen they both appear different. I have a feeling every rooted figure will look a bit different than the next, with the sculpted being more uniform across the line. Should be expected for a rooted sculpt from a factory with a deadline so close to release.
