Here's how I'd rank this figure.
PORTAIT SCULPTS - 9
Without question, the face on the v2 head is perfectly Ledger Joker, and the BR head is great for it's purpose. I wouldn't give it a 10 because the hair, while accurrate to Ledger, is a bit too scene specific for me, it's very much like the street showdown, but I don't think it's a good look to sum up the hair look for most of the movie, it's a bit to close to the head on the figure, like below.
This sort of hair would be a better summed up representation of the Joker to me, but that's my preference. Execution of the hair is great, It's just not my top choice for appearance.
MASK - 9
The mask is fantastic, other than using some more wear and tear look to it, it's a great item.
CLOTHING - 8.5
For the most part, the costuming is great. I took it down for 2 reasons. First, the sport coat, which is a new design, not the exact same as the suit coat with the first Joker figure, has some minor fit issues where it wrinkles or pulls down his arms in awkward ways in some poses and requires a little play to work them out, but that'd only be about half a point. The big factor is, while HT upgraded from the first Joker and added a snap to his shirt collar, I was dissappointed that it's the only button and the rest of the shirt is still closed by velcro. For something like the opening of a shirt, I'm really against velcro, it's not very strong at this size, my Joker vest on the other figure almost won't even stick anymore it's so weak, so the half-assed-ness of this shirt miffed me a bit.
ACCESSORIES - 10
Plenty of them, all made very well.
Overall, another fine HT figure, as good any POTC figure or other TDK figure.
I know some folks chant figure of the year for it, but for me, outside of the v2 portrait, it's nothing so unique or special to elevate it to the best of the year, I'd vote for TDK suit Batman first, that one impresses me more because of the engineering and R&D it takes to execute it the way they've done. Joker's a pretty traditional figure with great attention to detail, but nothing more than the HT standard.
