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

[Wor-Gar]

By Christmas 2023, a single rooted Joker figure will be the price of the full rooted 2-pack.

I think Joker is recession-proof.

Yeah I'm curious to see how much more these will go for in a few months time.

Wait, so they aren't going for bargain bin prices on Ebay like some people are trying to claim?

All joking aside, the rooted headsculpt alone has been selling for $500-$700. The sculpted headsculpt sold for $235. Prices seem to be increasing over this month.

Well damn, you just did it. I ordered the deluxe set from Kit.

This being the very last chance to get one at retail, I caved. All to essentially take the rooted normal sculpt out of the box and sell off the rest again, along with my sculpted hair sculpt.

Even if the price doesn't increase, I will definitely be able to sell this at cost, so then I essentially upgraded my sculpted to rooted for "free" (except for the hassle of selling it of course).

Got it for over a month but was waiting for a new display cabinet.
Surprise to see that it looks a bit larger than regular 1/6 figures. But this is a whole new level of realism.

This is one of my favorite pictures of the figure I've seen yet.

It somehow shows all the details on the body, but just enough detail in the face to only show its strengths.

So does this mean inart is sending out their final batch of jokers and then theres no more?

Yup

Took them 1 year & 2 months to fully ship out their first figure since preorders went up with Kit. Quite impressive in that regard with the task they had on their hand.

Too bad I ordered from spec fiction. I’m 28 years old and I’ll probably die of old age before those slow fools get their batch for the rooted version
I did get the invoice a few weeks ago, they said shipping on or before July 7. I haven’t paid it yet, I’m not giving a company $900 if they don’t even know when they are getting it. That’s why I like sideshow or BBTS, a preorder comes in, I pay it, they ship it (except sideshow will take a few days or a week while they get stock in, but not months like spec fiction is doing).
And I made the mistake of preordering Aragorn from Spec fiction

Are there a lot of issues with this? I've seen the magnet issue and a few minor things.

Debating about picking up one from onesixthkits last batch but the description lists returning the figure and paying shipping for missing/damaged items. Seems odd to have the consumer pay for a product issue.

Magnet issue is overblown. Mainly a feet placement issue with how they poorly did the magnets in a small section. I've had my Joker standing just fine without him even budging for the past 2 months. There was like 2-3 incidents of getting blue tac in the head. Never saw that issue anywhere else. Same for most issues honestly. Outside of a few minor people getting them, the vast majority of figures on here and on FB have been perfectly fine.

So only 14 months from announcement. Why do so many people think that's so long? Yes, I understand they only have a couple they are working on in comparison to others. Regardless, one beautiful looking figure with great detail only took 14 months for full release.

Also they are stating that they are still on schedule to release Pennywise and Gandalf in Q2, so to expect announcement by end of June. Both figures are currently going through post production inspection.

I think there are a couple issues people have had.
1: InArt had originally stated that the Joker would be out before Christmas 2022 without any mention of it only being the first batch.
2: InArt is not really communicating when each batch is releasing except to retailers like Kit. This is leaving people like myself (I have not received mine yet) to wonder if I will ever get mine especially after the ToysBuyingAgent issue.

Even more impressive when you consider the fact they had to hand paint - hair and style these.

Hot toys can't even do that with a normal figure so I'd say congrats to them.

This stuff has been communicated in streams on YouTube. Yes, I know not everyone watches these. They are being communicated. InArt very clearly last year stated that the first drop would be a very small batch in China from people that ordered directly from Queen Studios. Then in batches over the start of 2023 They just recently, on Sunday, communicated about Pennywise and Gandalf and that info has been already passed through here.

Hello, any UK orders form UK suppliers being fulfilled yet?

 

[MaulFan]

Saw someone post this and I cant understand why Inart didnt just root the jail sculpt like this.. I am thinking about actually trimming it a bit

Even though Ledger’s hair varied in the movie, my guess is InArt went for a consistent look.

Who did you order with in the Uk?

 

[Gatchaman]

Who did you order with in the Uk?

I ordered with PlanetActionFigures, they sent a full payment request so I was hoping shipping was imminent.

IA definitely didn’t hand paint the heads. The paint jobs are very uniform and consistent. Standard mass production process.
Not a single Joker’s make-up smudges correctly aligns with the sculpt’s wrinkles.
It’s the most egregious and really a quite a careless flaw.

I'd recommend Onesixthkit next time get it alot quicker.

Interesting though as paint jobs all vary, I'm guessing maybe a production line like hot toys have. That never bothered me much but I do agree especially when going all that way with effort. Still thank the smirking sculpt is the better of the 2.
