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

[Mooch]

Mine "shipped" 10 days ago, but according to the tracking number it still hasn't been picked up, has that happened to anyone else?

Just in case anyone else is in this situation, it has been picked up finally, almost two weeks later!

I'm surprised these two (premium and deluxe) are still available from @Kit Chen ! My deluxe that I ordered on Tuesday has already shipped.

I'm currently on vacation in Colombia, and was traveling cross country in a bus with very flaky internet a few days ago when I saw the deluxe was available again and I finally made the decision to get one. It was a very stressful hour to get a connection stable enough to get through the checkout. I was afraid it would be sold out by the time I made it. Guess I did have some more time after all.

Withing a few days, I went from only having the standard Joker, to having the rooted pack on its way to me, and being 98% sure that I will purchase Gandalf as well, once Kit has some left over stock.

I'm glad I'm not interested in anything else InArt has on pre-order right now. 2023 is turning out to be my most expensive collecting year ever.

Mine arrived from Kit about a week or so ago and I love it! The sculpt is amazing, but I really appreciate the variety of textures and materials used on this figure.

Here are a few pics, they would have looked nicer if I spent more time futzing with his clothes a bit and taking a bit more time with the grenades etc.

Congratz Omega!! Glad you’re happy with this Joker! Certainly the best 1/6 TDK Joker figure thus far in my opinion.

Ordered mine from One Sixth Kit and got it super fast! Here is my detailed review, with comparisons to DX11 and Bank Robber 2.0:

Well done, nice review and the comparisons were really useful!

I was so excited to receive this from Kit. I know people hate the size of the box, but I found the unboxing experience luxurious, like this was something special.

My first impressions of the figures were that the jacket Joker is perfect, I couldn’t be happier!

But the jail cell Joker was a little disappointing. Hair wasn’t how I pictured it and his body seemed too slim.

But after getting to style his hair with a brush and adding some cotton under his shirt, I am so happy with him!

I know for the price people feel he should be perfect right out of the box without all the futzing, but in the end I really enjoyed styling him too how he looked in my head. And now I have the Joker Jail of my dreams!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Really hard to get a good pose with Jail Joker if you don't want him sitting down -- very limited supply of bare hands for him that aren't flat...

I'm tempted to make a Jail Escape Joker with gloves on.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Just do this with one of the hands like I did

 

[Mr Walker]

I preordered a while back from sugotoys here in Oz, just waiting for my email to come in.

Let me know when you get your confirmation because it’s the same with me although I did change my two pack figure back down to a standard single and after that they went out of stock completely on their website so I’ll probably be the last person to receive it lol

 

[TheFiend]

I think I'm sticking with this pose for the time being.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I like that pose.

I wish there was a more sinister pose I could put the Jail Joker in.

Thanks. I ended up parting out & selling my Jail Joker & dio.

I may end up cutting the grenade rig out of the coat, I absolutely hate the unsightly straps poking out and making the jacket look puffier.

I guess I lucked out. I don't have a problem mine at all.

You can see the straps poking out of the coat in your pic lol.

Great pose though btw, It looks really good, just seeing that made me think of mine.

 

[Chopper Face]

I pasted some electrical tape [swapped for masking tape] over the grenade rig and the blazer and then used double sided tape to hold the jacket closer in. Figured the electrical tape wouldn’t leave residue on the material who knows in the long run. Either way, it’s doing a pretty good job.

The rig making the jacket poof out was really bugging me, especially considering how well the other side sits

So, I finally futzed and posed my full outfit Joker and it’s an absolute masterpiece.

First I had to repair the damage I did to the base from moving the magnets and dremeling some bloody holes through the surface.

I covered the damage pretty well and also dabbed a couple coats of matt varnish on to give it a little more texture which you can only really appreciate in the flesh.

You can barely tell what a mess I made. I’m glad I moved the magnets though as the wide stance is awesome.

Redressing Joker is essential, I think, and I also ironed out a lot of unsightly creases from the shirt, vest and jacket using a mini travel hair straightener. I don’t know about steaming garments but this worked pretty well.

Then I gave this body a full inspection and decided just a little tape was in order to cover the neck seam. I also put a tab in at the left arm butterfly joint as the internal joint part was catching on the rubber chest piece when you swing the arm out and back in. Easy work that stops the shirt sinking into that gap.

These bodies are really well designed. The shoulders also shrug and depress but you need to work out the stiffness in that joint to make good use of it.

Here’s the various stages of redressing

Joker looks particularly odd in the blazer with no jacket; I guess because we never really see him like this other than in the bank robbery scene.

The hands also didn’t just pop on. I had to really push as there’s a little tab sticking out of the wrist pegs that creates some friction. Makes holding the diecast machine gun feel much more secure.

I spent a while setting my pose up and don’t feel a particularly great need to do any reworking of the hair yet- unlike with the jail cell version.

This guy just looks pure quality and, as far as I’m concerned, he is quantifiably superior to even the finest HTs. The jacket alone is glorious. Making the grenade rig removable with poppers would have been a smart move though.

I really familiarised myself with the magnets and what positioning provides the strongest connection and lowest likelihood of toppling forward so my Joker should be safe as houses even with that big lean.
If you place his feet quite far back over the magnets and have both feet facing forwards, there is a possibility that, due to the curvature of his shoes and the magnet/s in his feet, any little jolt forward will pull him forwards and fling him off the base.
So, the toppling Jokers is kind of equal parts user error and design flaw/oversight.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Have had my Joker standing now for many weeks without a stand and he hasn't budged.

I also love the weight of the figure when you pick him up. He feels a natural weight for his size, and solid, as opposed to say the comments the latest HT Luke is getting feeling too lightweight and therefore somewhat 'cheap'.
