1/6 INART (Queen Studio) - The Dark Knight - Joker Collectible Figure

[TheFiend]

No, Kit was saying that due to how large (and probably how heavy) this box is, he fears the shipping price will probably be as much as a hot toys retail price, which is probably more than he anticipated it would given that Kit normally tries to factor in shipping prices in the final price. He wasn’t saying that a HT figure costs $250 to ship.

I wonder if that means Kit will charge us more for shipping after all....

True though that remains to be seen. He’s probably asking himself that question right now.

Figure looks nice. The outer packaging is nice but I don’t like how large and awkwardly shaped it is. Plus never have been a big fan of the styrofoam inserts.

Its shaped like the inart logo. I kind of like it

 

[choombaz]

We complain a lot about HT but they really know how to design the packaging to minimise size.

Yeah I kind of dig how unique it is. It's slimmer but longer than our usual Hot Toys.

very excited for bigbreda's review, he should be posting a review next week if he's getting shipping this weekend

I also like how it comes with 2 velco straps as if it's some high security briefcase. I dig it.

Here I thought this **** was hella tall and narrowing towards a vanishing point

Oh boy the shipping cost!!

 

[GaryPool]

Ah, got it, thanks for the clarity. But in the end, the shipping could be an additional $250... which is what I fear.

People were fearful the Joker itself would be the problem, but looks like the stupid shipping is going to be the problem. After getting your head around paying $1,000 for the piece, it's going to hurt to cough up another $250 or so to receive it.

I think that would be a problem for me, I may be remembering incorrectly, but Kit's orders price included shipping I'm pretty sure. But knowing how much heavy and big items are costing to ship I just can't see how Kit could eat all of those shipping costs to keep that promise, and nor should he, otherwise there's no business.

So I'm now imaging the initial cost plus a Hot Toys price on top of it then a %20 tax. For me I'm thinking it's maybe sealed my decision. As much as I'd love to have this I don't ideally want two of them for such a price without having my heart set on them when there's other priorities for my collection.

Hope everyone here is able to get theirs alright, I will appreciate from afar so please take good photos!

Very much like how JND’s statues are packed

I’m one of those that would make this look like a turd so I’m definitely not posting any photos

I wish these sorts of videos would just drop the weirdo person and just show off the figure and parts on a turntable or something. Could be worse I guess, it could be:

I mean if it helps, the figure looks exactly the same as it did when they posted their production video a month or two ago and what we saw during all the conventions they had. Again, if you were unhappy with how the figure looked back then, you'll be unhappy with how the figure is now.

I love my DX11 2.0 but InArt is in another league compared to the hot toys joker….
also keeping in mind ten years have passed too….
This is the ultimate Heath Ledger Joker I wished i think all that bought this will be satisfied

 

[lordnastrond]

Loving the look of this - hype train is going full steam again!
Just when my hype was starting to fade these videos popped up to stoke my flame!

Call me weird but I really like the box design, looks pretty cool and unique and high end - plus everything looks well packaged.
As for the size of the box.... this is effectively a double figure set plus a large dirorama piece being shipped in one, with that in mind I think they've done really well to keep it as small as it is and in a single box.

Shipping is going to be a ***** though.
I ordered this set from KGHobby before I really discovered Kit - so I imagine that is going to be VERY painful.

DX07 was a double figure set with dio as well as 2 independent display stands and its box wasn't as massive as this.

Regardless though, it is what it is and it's actually starting to ship out which actually matters and is very exciting.

True though that remains to be seen. He’s probably asking himself that question right now.

Absolutely. He estimates shipping costs well in advance and how could he have ever expected it to run (what it sounds like) around $200-$250?!
He’s gonna lose his ass if he has to front over $100 of his own dosh for every figure he ships out.

Retailers will need to feedback to InArt to encourage them to design more compact packaging for future dlx releases. 1/6 collectors are not like the statue community who are used to enormous shipping costs. Ever gone into a Weta statue forum after shipping quotes start getting sent? It’s literally eye-watering.

Oh Jesus- I’m scared for The Batman + Bruce Wayne + Batsignal All In package now… It’ll have to be two separate packages.

Imagine what the all in batman box will be like especially bat signal.

Indeed. I collect a few statues here and there and I never like the shipping part

While it would suck to have to pay some shipping on this after expecting the free shipping, I can 100% understand where Kit would be coming from if he needed to for this set and probably that Batman "all-in" set.

I’m actually getting it tomorrow (25th) but Christmas Day and all I will not be able to to do it.
And honestly, I don’t want to pass a wrong message about this joker. I always admitted I am not the best at futzing, so I will unbox it and shoot as I’m doing it, and will try to futz the best as I can. My videos are not about futzing figures, I show you what’ll you get.
