Not really. You have to keep in mind that the vast majority of collectors will not be paying $1000+ for a 1/6 Joker figure, no matter how good it looks.
It might sound like a big vocal group in this forum that will but a lot of casual collectors will not be putting that much money into any 1/6 figure. It's not the norm. They're not going to get a crazy amount as if it was some normal popular Hot Toys $270 priced figure.
They'll also most likely be splitting the production. The sculpted versions will be produced like normal while the rooted bundles will be handled by Viper as he oversees the rooting process.
Also keep in mind, if people don't place a PO within the first 24 hours, chances are their minds are not gonna change within the next 48. It's a lot of money for a figure.
