Hot Toys: The Dark Knight: 1/4 The Joker

[creasy]

I will keep mine. I like it but it’s underwhelming tbh. I remember opening it and thinking the bank robber version was better.

Same. The bank robber joker 2.0 is in my opinion the best joker hot toys have done.
I like my qs010 i outfitted it with the daftoys coat but it is just still lacking, that and 1/6 is definitely my preferred scale.

I sold mine for $400 about a year ago.

Did this ever really hit high prices? HT 1/4s generally don't go above retail.

Seen this still sell for $650+. The DX11 still hitting $500+. I don't think QS really effects HT that much.

Anyways hoping there will be recasts of the 1/4 QS to pop on this, even though I have the artist edition on order.

I've always sold my 1/4 above retail, 1/4 IM M42 went at least 200 pounds over what I paid for it.

Yeah after an upgraded coat and rooted custom sculpt, I’m not letting him go. The coming 1/6 versions look great. But I like how the clothing works much better at 1/4 scale.

Have to disagree…great head sculpt on 2.0.
Unfortunately Hot Toys got the proportions wrong so it’s WAY to big for the torso…looks like a bobble head…couldn’t unsee it and finally had to sell that one.

Looks great!

About to start weathering my Daftoys coat to get a more grimy look. Not sure what the best paint or supplies are for that. May start with a tamiya weathering kit.

That’s how this garbage release should’ve been out of the box.

Looks amazing!

Sorry to bump this thread, but does any company make a Quarter Scale Bank Robber Joker outfit to use with this? I have mine posed with the purple coat and would like to use the clown mask but obviously the outfits don't match.

If I don't go this route, anybody know where to get a 1/4 chair and table like in the interrogation scene from TDK?

More modding to my 1/4 Joker. I dyed my Daftoys coats to get a more screen accurate color. Weathered them both, then added the grenade rig from the Hot Toys bathrobe coat to one of the newly dyed Daftoys coats. So now I've got a mob scene jacket with the grenade rig option, or a more weathered version, minus the rig, from later in the film. Really happy with it so far. The only thing I'd like to do still is get some alternate sculpts for different moments in the film.

Nice work on the color of that jacket, rory!

Agreed great work Rory. How did you manage to only dye the purple areas and not the orange lining? Or did the dye just not take to the lining?

Exactly. The lining is some sort of synthetic and fortunately wasn’t affected by the dye. Likewise, the shirt wouldn’t take any dye when I tried to slightly darken it, it’s almost a plastic like material.

Finally got my daftoys coat. Very happy with it, it?s a better colour and thinner fabric than the hot toys, it also hangs better. Im planning on adding some grime and make up to it.

Need to do something with the shoes still, they look way to big and clumpy.

I?ve got 2 1/4 creg sculpts that I?m slowly painting up but no neck adapters so need to work something out for those. If anyone has any ideas what I could do to get them to fit ( cant find any 1/4 adapters anywhere )or custom heads they would like to share I would love to see them.

This is such a simple and cool pose! I just got my Joker a few weeks ago! Thanks for the inspiration!

Hey all,

I’m looking at picking this figure up but I’m of course leaning towards a coat and head sculpt upgrade - any suggestions on which way to go? I’m hoping to find something more akin to the look from the mob/pencil scene. I know it won’t be cheap lol thanks all!!

 

[Jaymig926]

The Dean Tolliver sculpt is awesome and some painters are Jacob Rahmier and Dario Barbera I have one from each. Very expensive and a very long wait but worth it

 

[Jaymig926]

This is the one from Jacob

The daft toys coat it's a great option with excellent details I still can't believe it was so cheap

Those premium option for the head that Jaymig mentioned are the way to go

also the enterbay sculpt it6not bad

I got this sculpt for a fantastic price on ebay , I just repainted it a little bit and use some hair products and it was ready , I think he still have some sculpts on ebay and if I'm not wrong it's a recast of the enterbay sculpt
