This early I can thank HT for making the necessary improvements on this figure. Being a proud owner of the EB Bats I'd say this would perfectly complement that figure instead of saying that QS001 just trumped it. Besides, if it weren't for EB being the basis of comparison, people might not have an idea how a good Bale faceplate would look like and we'd just settle with anything HT might have given us. I'd dare say that it's the same scenario as DX10 that, while still imperfect, is a huge improvement compared to its predecessor -- and was obviously influenced by the excellence of the first EB 1/4 T800 headsculpt (even its imperfections were captured by HT LOL).
I would dare say that when it comes to licenses EB and HT share, EB's the one setting the bar for HT to try to break. I'll fearlessly say that if and when HT comes up with a 1/4 Heath Joker, it would be the best non-custom Ledger Joker figure without a doubt.
