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

[Khev]

John from Queen Studios just announced on Justin's Collection livestream Q&A that they're working on a 1/6 Battinson and Batmobile and are hoping to reveal them in May.

Sorry to disappoint.

But yeah, I just can't justify the money. And I don't see the use for it. I want some high-end dolls to represent the pop culture of my youth. I don't need to brush the goat hair so that they won't fall off in a decade. I want to move onto other collections, not be a 40 YO and be buying my 6th Joker, this time with glass eyes. I want my favourites in a great format to put next to my videogame cases and omnibuses in my small pop culture museum. 8-9/10 is good enough for me. For some I'd drop the cash for that 9.5/10, but I'm not doing it now for this one. My real test will be their Paul.

What can I say? Space Aristocrats speak to my power fantasies more than anarchist clowns. If they do get the Godfather license at some point though, while I wouldn't buy another Vito, a Michael with rooted hair would tempt me. Young DeNiro Vito I'd buy too, but obviously sculpted. I just wouldn't be able to pass on the actors. I'd drop the rooted cash for a Troy Achilles & Hector. Obviously a ROTS Anakin. If such a Doom were released (dunno, maybe they'll get Adam Driver and get him to show off his glorious mane in the God Emperor costume) I'd just go for the highest tier on principle. What else... Lawrence Of Arabia I'd spend top dollar on. That's as far as I can imagine in regards to grail/would-pay-any-price tier figures.

PS: I just spent another 5€ to ask another question; something more concrete this time, no wishlisting. Their answers amounted to "oh yeah, we just have to ask" and "oh no, that's Disney" for those anyway. They better answer this, I got in early this time.

Notes from the Q&A with John from Queen Studios during the live stream with WillFoxification:

- QS is asking for feedback on which movies and video games collectors would like figures of.

- There are plans to expand internationaly but will be difficult due to other brands already having the same licenses.

- There will be rigurous QC for the Joker which may start in Q4 and last a few months.

- InArt is part of the brand and not a seperate entity, InArt is the 1/6 department.

- WB and license holders have a list of characters that they want QS to make first.

- There's interest in classic movies like Godfather, Scarface.

- QS would love to make Star Wars but currently a license too hard to get.

- Queen wants a list of diverse licenses but is cautious about collector feedback, what people think is cool is one thing, what people want is another.

- Queen's primary goal is to introduce the next step of 1/6 scale evolution and push the boundaries if possible (like doing silicone bodies, etc).

- Queen's figures will differentiate by having tiny details like the best rooted hair in the market and removeble bullets.

- The magnetic base will depend on the collectible and not always come with a figure.

- There will be a new video today showing the Joker figure and going into detail about it with Viper.

- The seamless arms might be magnetic but John is not sure.

- Transparency is important to Queen and they will strive to communicate with the community via live streams when there's something worth communicating and they have a small team focusing on communicating on social media.

- No plans for 1/3 scale Iron Man but there are plans for vehicles.

- Predator and Dutch would be a possibility if people want it.

- They have the licensing contact for Rambo but haven't reached out.

- There are busts of Aliens on the way, 1/6 might no be possible due to FOX being owned by Disney.

- The team has done test statues of X-23 from Logan but there's no plans to sell it.

- Box art for the Joker is not made yet but might be similar to the artist edition box art of the 1/4 Joker.

- Queen wants feedback but is aware of favoritism, they have created an InArt group so lots of collectors can give the best feedback.

- There will be polls after the Joker is out to figure out which licenses are worth pursuing next.

- The brand will grow as the company grows.

- It will be challenging to mantain communication with the community as the company continues to grow.

- The Walking Dead could be possible, art director is a big fan of the show.

- The Dark Knight line will have a 1/3 Batman and Bat Pod coming in the near future, 1/6 scale a possibility.

- Spider-Man 1/2 reveal possibly coming in June

- BVS Batman and other Snyder Verse stuff possibly coming next year, Snyder Verse very popular in China.

- Queen says that if there are delays for the Joker it's because they're perfecting the rooted hair to make sure it matches the proto.

- If they make Bane it will be further down the line since The Dark Knight Rises is a different license.

- They will try to at least make the top three of the Justice League.

- 007 only possible if collectors want it and licensors agree to it.

- Queen Studios is interested in video game licenses like Red Dead Redemption and The Last of Us.

- Selina Kyle 1/6 scale figure from The Dark Knight Rises a probability down the line.

- Older licenses like Batman Returns are not easy to get for Queen Studios.

- Rooted hair will not be something that is always an option with 1/6 scale figures, but they will do it most of the time for figures like Gandalf and Paul from Dune.

- No certainty if they will make the complete Fellowship from Lord of The Rings.

- 1/6 scale figures have been planned by Queen Studios for 2 years and they're in it for the long run.

Glad to see Dutch and Rambo are still a possibility.

The interwebz itself shut down from too Joker fanboy love. It couldn't handle it.

I'm still updating my post in the previous page btw, this stream is going a bit slower than the one with Will and there's some repeated questions.

Idk, how you're typing out all that info that fast but it's appreciated.

I love how he rips one of them martini glasses from someone hands spilling nearly all of it and takes a sip anyway. lol
There's isn't a scene with him that isn't iconic. What could have been...

 

[Rotfish]

- Predator and Dutch would be a possibility if people want it.

I do wish they included that shotgun

Same. It feels like there’s a lot of accessories they “could have” included but didn’t.

I hope what we get is of good quality, though.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Nice, OSK has the orders up. Put in my order for the standard version. $346 with $46 deposit.

 

[R_R_X]

John is answering audience questions:

- Variants like nurse Joker could happen.

- Two-Face could also happen, nothing confirmed.

- John thinks the eyes on Joker will be moveable at the same time and accessed from the back of the head.

- No plans for Suicide Squad for this year.

- Rooted hair is glued on top of the sculpt, no confirmation on what material the sculpt will be made of.

- Bale Batman is possible.

- Terminator depends on license availability, Johns ays it's currently not available but everyone at Queen loves the franchise.

- Joaquin Phonin's Joker is possible but needs to be really high level not a standard figure, merchandising demands only premium collectibles be made.

- They will be making a DeLorean, possibly coming this year.

 

[Captain Clown]

How are so many elements of this figure a mystery to John? It feels like he’s “not sure” about every other question relating to Joker.

I imagine Wor-Gar at a dinner staring off, anxiously bobbing his leg with a thought bubble over his head with Joker dollies in them. Their little green hair blowing in the wind.
