Hot Toys The Dark Knight Joker DX/Artisan 1/6 Scale Figure

Why do DC threads always have to devolve to this point. We shouldn’t push others to the point of leaving regardless of differing opinion. We’re already a niche community as is let alone those of us who are actual members/supporters of these boards.

Yup, this is a Joker thread, alright. If some of you guys can stop ganging up on other dudes, and be respectful of other people's choices - I'd really appreciate that. Likewise, some posts can inadvertently be baiting for an argument, so be mindful of your tone and how your posts may come across.

Warnings have been issued.

First look at the production headsculpt, I assume they will be identical

I gotta get ahold of one of those headsculpts, it looks really good.

 

[Godfather1408]

I think slightly different adding the tongue or teeth part otherwise close.

 

[Furyan]

Wow glad I passed on InArts offering and got a couple of these,headsculpt is phenomenal!

I might be in the minority, but from the comparison in Justins video, I do not see what he sees, The HT sculpt is not better than the inArt. Of course he says he has no ties to neither HT nor inArt, but we know Justin, he always sides with the newer product.

The hair looks off and also the eyes look strange, I cannot pinpoint it exactly. Maybe they look too wide open, because of the makeup. That makes the face look weird.

I think it's because the sculpt is VERY scene specific and the only way it really looks good is if he's looking down eyes forward in the "HIT ME" stance. He loses the grit if it's just looking normally.

HT sculpt looks better to me, it's the Joker where as the inart is Heath in makeup if that makes sense. Inart got better hairline and a less rushed paintjob around the eyes but that's it, gotta hand everything else to the HT sculpt, the 3D effect from the half open mouth with teeth that is removable thus better quality then just sculpted like say RoTJ Luke is probably a unintended effect that strengthens the look.

I also prefer the inart sculpt as of now especially repainted but I don't have my artisan in hand so can't judge.

I really dig this pose they used for the promo though.

the inart repaint looks so much better

 

[Godfather1408]

Got a funny feeling this will be out next week given how many figures on that showcase they've just released.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Get on with it. We know what the head looks like, that's what truly matters.

I don't think the promise of JND or HT is going to solve the lust for Joker. People will start to talk about the InArt 2.0... then the HT 2.0... and the cycle repeats...

Curious how long they’re going to make us wait to see this dude. He’s now the last man standing in the previously released “coming soon” photo…

 

[highlander1]

Hope this Joker arrives next month only 1 flexpay left on sculpted hair release. Missed the artisan pre-order, just happy to have back since sold dx11 while back.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I wonder if the delay is due to them needing to make revisions after using the imposter Joker as a 'test run'.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wish they'd fix the hair and make the "make-up" look more realistic. But they won't.

 

[TheBatman]

Of course they won't. People gonna buy it anyway

I think that is the exact answer to the delay

 

[creasy]

I think that is the exact answer to the delay

I returned my impostor joker-I was not impressed.
The sculpts solid but the paintwork was ***.
Got the artisan on order so I’m hoping they are taking their time to fix it/but this is hot toys…..
