The absolute problem is they are sculpting a ‘joker’ sculpt.
Not ledger and then applying paint to make him the joker.

I am sure I read somewhere on here they approached Adam Gu to do the QS Joker. ��
If I can remember correctly, what I read Hot toys didn’t want to pay the coin and he ended up doing prime one instead. No idea if that’s true or not
It’s interesting hearing all those rumours.
If I remember correctly, it came out that they wanted to get Adam to sculpt the DX11, but he didn’t want his sculpts mass-produced, or something to that effect.
Adam’s sculpting definitely would’ve made it an absolute grail piece. They hired Kato to do the clothes, so I think it’s pretty believable. That laughing head had been done by Adam before the DX11 too so I think that’s another good indicator.
Stupid question, but does he still do commisissions for Joker heads? It feels like every once in a while I’ll see a new one, despite him saying he’s “done” with the character. Is it just to increase demand?
+1Ledger’s face will be as close to hot toys as possible so if anyone doesn’t like, then just cancel your preorder and wait for bermejo statue joker, which is one of the best comic joker made, I am happy with the faces in this and have both the regular and exclusive preordered, will be happy to have this in my collection
Correct they approached Adam Gu. But he said no.
He also said he felt bad for ‘stealing’ copyrighted material. And then went and sold under the radar for a while, then to anyone, for $6,500 a sculpt.
But yeh, this should be miles better for the price.
For those intrested I did set up a thread a while back for a better Joker sculpt 1:4 can find it here if you wanna upgrade

Just a quick question for those complaining about him being too small, which he is for true 1/4 scale. Would you have preferred they made him a true 1/4 scale even though he would have towered over the QS001 Batman?
Their mistake was scaling Batman wrong in the first place but I'm glad they have kept the Joker in scale with him so they display well together.
Are you getting one of these, Cap’n?
Not a chance. Was hoping on an improved sculpt that may have swayed me but it’s awful.
Even the clothes are off in so many areas.
You?
Yeah..

Mine only has one more small payment, and I really don’t want to lose the NRD - Plus I got the QS001 because I thought “shoot, they’re going to make a Joker to go with this then I’ll regret not getting Batman, huh?”
I think he’ll look decent enough with detolf lighting. I don’t hate the sculpt, it’s really just the absolute most boring head they could’ve possibly made. I’m glad they included the grenade rig though. I wish he came with the kebab or cocktail.
I reeeally don’t like how the back of his vest looks - especially when compared to the Enterbay. Yikes.
The sculpt is horribly boring but I still think it’s Hot Toys’ best attempt at Ledger Joker. Here’s something I put together while messing around.

The pictures of the actual figure are from FC4D’s review that was posted above.
This is the first time I’ve thought a figure would actually benefit from PERS.
