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

Jokor?
Is there something I’m missing?
Why are so many people misspelling Joker?

If the certificate inside says Joker instead of Jokor, it's most likely not an authentic Infart product.

I'll throw something controversial out there:

I've never understood the, for lack of a better term, obsession, with crafting the perfect Ledger Joker. It's wild to me that to this day, people are still doing custom sculpts and outfits and more. Make no mistake, I grasp the fixation of trying to perfect a favorite piece, but this has always seemed to just go above and beyond the normal 1/6 passions.

Simple: Ledger's death, his performance becoming the stuff of legends, the character generally being a big seller. That's the perfect combination for artists to make some dough. Personally, it is disturbing to see people lose their ever-loving mind over this. It'll never be perfect enough. Just buy one figure and end it there.

But that will never happen.

And the joker is the ultimate test of the artist skill. The hair.. the paint.. the sculpt. And the outfit.

It looks like the legendary jokor thread is slowing down. It was a lot of fun being part of this journey from the beginning. I will miss all the excitement and the worrying and the speculations and the discussions.. So many faces came and went and many laughs were shared on the way. Now most of us have our jokors to celebrate at the end of this nice journey and for me it makes the figure a little more special

Oh something will come in the future to eclipse the InArt Jokor…

There are several reasons, imo.

1. Ledger's performance.
2. The film was a phenomenon

However, the biggest reason might be that most 1/6 collectors started collecting 1/6 scale figures because of the Ledger Joker and the TDK line by HT. In fact, HT became popular because of TDK line. The popularity of HT and the growth of the 1/6 scale hobby are tied to Ledger's Joker. It was the right character at the right time.

I think the TDK line was one of HT's first licensed offerings that wasn't a "model kit".

Yeah, they had Alien, Terminator, and Rambo, but it wasn't until TDK that their popularity skyrocketed. Their quality also improved drastically. The Bank Robber Joker was arguably the best 1/6 scale figure ever at the time. Then, they began the DX line in 2009, which innovated the PERS, with none other than Ledger's Joker and Bale Batman. Their Ledger Jokers were always at the cutting edge of the hobby, so it's not surprising that the first Inarts 1/6 scale is Joker.

I wouldn't go that far. They just became more popular to a broader audience. As you said in a later post, their popularity skyrocketed with the popularity of the film. However, I would argue that their POTC figures were their initial step into higher quality and more detailed figures.

QFT

Not true at all. HT already had many, many licensed figures that weren't model kits before the TDK line including their first Batman Begins Batman (MMS13) as well as 4 figures from Superman Returns (MMS14, MMS27, MMS49 & MMS50). Not to mention the pretty popular POTC line stated above that had nearly all the main characters produced except Barbossa. The TDK line didn't start until MMS67 with the Original Costume Batman. That's 54 figures before they dove into Nolan Batman films again.

Check the linked Topo thread near the end. I cant' remember, but there may be some pics: Topo Toys Joker suit - Dark Knight.

The Cannibal Jack was one of those next level figures.

Yup! I still have mine, though he's been customized since then with parts from the DX06 and/or DX15 Jack figures

Great question. I didnt see anybody try it with the jail figure

 

[console-master]

ı have got deluxe 1 month ago now my premium comes too

 

[Godfather1408]

The set sadly isn't as great as inarts. No suspenders only bonus is the vest has metal clasp hooks rather than plastic cheap snaps.

Inart really need to ditch plastic snaps.

Has anyone padded out the jail version?

 

[console-master]

You ordered a PRemium and a Deluxe? 4 figures? that's heavy! hahaha

yes bro and 1 deluxe one the way)))

 

[console-master]

Wow! How do you want to display them? Maybe some dioramas?

ı dont know maybe i sell one of them

You can see how I padded my Jail body in this post- 1/6 INART (Queen Studio) - The Dark Knight - Joker Collectible Figure

I really should have taken some decent pics of him in a neutral pose and natural light

 

[Godfather1408]

Jail scene sculpt looks amazing here, probably the best hair yet. Really doesn't look big either looks incredible!

I hope we get this from INART in the future.
