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

[Nick D]

Did you do any modification to the body or is it all stock? Looks amazing

Thanks man,

Body is stock, no re dress, no padding, no styling done to hair.
Tie: Dino
Shoes: new Portoys magnetic shoes.
Everything else stock.

That’s custom artist ambrosias sculpt. The same exact sculpt the HT Artisan uses.

My dad's name is Ambrosio. I'm going to ask him if he ever tried his hand at sculpting.

The shoes are the only real thing that I do not like on this figure. The toes curve up far too much. They are almost cartoonish.

Their company tag line is, "Smooth sounds, and smooth sculpts to get you through your day."

There’s a lot I don’t like personally, but it can still look good if you know what you’re doing. The best bits for me are the gloved hands, suspenders, shirts and Glock 17. Always had issue with the shoes, wrong shape, too bulky. No real effort was put into them imo, I replaced them the day the set arrived.

Love to see a Portoy shoe next to the InArt shoe I know what the difference is.

Is that a new set by Por Toy? You mentioned they are "magnetic"?

Correct.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So they're upgrades for the InArt. Very nice. I love the purple lace.

The shoes are supposed to curve dramatically, it’s the reason Ledger thought they were perfect for the character.

Yeah I agree here. I'm not sure why people are complaining about movie accuracy, lol

I can't tell you how many times I've witnessed people complaining about something that isn't even movie accurate -- they get their information from other customs or toys they had when they were a kid so they remember it wrong. Worst thing is, they're too lazy to actually put the movie on and check for themselves. So many Raiders Indy jackets and pants color ruined because of this...

I've had several instances where I search for a character or actor, and up pops a Hot Toys figure on my Google image search.

He is a clown so curved shoes are not so out of place.

Yeah the HT Thanos shows up as "real" Thanos in a lot of Youtube thumbnails, and other various places.

I posted this somewhere else on here, but my favorite instance of this was Universal Studios using the T-800 HT figure on their t-shirts.

Screw inart and their magnetic feet! One of the stupidest decisions they've made. My joker has fallen so many times already. Thankfully no breaks or scuff marks but im sure it's bound to happen.

I think it's a quality control thing on the magnets in general. I, along with many others, have not had any issues with this. I think they got a weak batch of magnets because a lot of people have had this issue. Also, it would help to have the base be fully magnetized.

 

[TheBatman]

Yeah, my magnets are fine.

The magnets on the HT IM Mk 47 re-issue has its own issues too so its not something inherent to one company...

 

[Gipetto0812]

yea, the whole base topper should be magnetized rather than an actual magnet. This would allow you to really place the feet wherever instead of being forced into basically one standing position

Those por toys shoes look great @Nick D would’ve loved to have gotten a pair of those since they’re magnetic as well. Guessing they aren’t available anymore?
