For the lipstick, he used Maybelline 49 rouge passion red. No idea if it's available to buy, but that's the reference you're looking to match.

What do you have in mind roan?

Thank you, I was at a hobby store yesterday and was looking at enamel paints, but they had so many options I wasn’t sure which one to get.

No plans for right now, but I want to start painting Joker sculpts for myself. I wanna experiment with different painting techniques and see how difficult/challenging it is. Gotta pick up some paint, a proper airbrush and a few fine brushes, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to start but the plan is there.

Basically there's a chinese collector on a group who was suprised that I managed to order one as Zhang Yu (por.toys boss) refused to sell one to him even when he "begged" (his words) to buy one.
From what I understand he refused because there's not enough stock or something like that.
The price on taobao is 1299rmb (around 180$) for that version.

I asked at the same time to buy one and there was no such thing as not enough stock.
And the price i've been told is 300$ + shipping + taxes.
300 is almost double what Chinese collectors paid for it.
It's supposed to be sold out since the 21st of october but apparently it's not sold out to everyone.

The explanation we came up with is that he rather sell to a foreigner double the price than selling it to a chinese collector.

What a lame excuse, definitely looks like they are trying to profit off of foreigners. I love their work, but their business practices are shady.

They sell custom stuff for custom prices to some people and then sell mass produced versions of those same things to others for much cheaper.

They also sell exclusive limited heads/accessories outside of the limited run behind their clients backs.

I did notice that as well. They resell everything they make even for "limited" figures. Lol.
My d*mbass bought their Joker 2 figure before watching the sequel because I wasn't expecting it to take such a nose dive compared to the first film. Had great plans for Phoenix, but whatever that's beside the point, certainly learned my lesson there.

However to later find out that they are selling their "factory" version of that figure for $300 and around $180 on Taoboa and reselling all the other parts loose like the headsculpt, hands, suit and whatever else, pissed me off more than the movie being ass. Like who does that? What's the point of a limited run to later sell all the parts loose?

It's either very very bad communication and handling or he's trying to take advantage of people.

After all how would a client from France know about what is going on in China ?
He won't know that I'm making him pay much more.

He has a terrible reputation in the chinese and Korean community so I tend to trust my instinct and believe that there's clearly something scammy about all this.
Dude is just another gready a-hole.

I did a PayPal dispute and got my money back, if I ever get this it will be through one of my chinese friends directly, someone I can actually trust.

Well that explains everything. Always trust natives, they know their own people the best.

Whenever I'm on vacation to another country I always try to look for restaurants where natives eat, even if it's in some shady street. At least you know you're getting good stuff and aren't being charged ridiculous money for disgusting tourist food.

The founder is just another gready A-hole basically.

Him and Ambrosial should team up.
