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

[CollectorGuy]

What's everyone's thoughts on the colors for the shirt, tie, etc as compared to IA?

I think the green vest for sure is way too saturated.

 

[Gowithasmile!]

I think the green vest for sure is way too saturated.

And theres no weathering from what i can see.

Just remember Hot toys fanboys thank InArt otherwise HT would be lazy and re-release the Dx11 again. Lmao

 

[Mr. EcKo]

We knew it was only a matter of time before hot toys was like we want to play. We want to have a rooted hair joker too. It's not like we don't make enough money off all the other licenses that we have.

 

[dominishin]

If we really want to nitpick outfit Inart looks overall more accurate.

Inart coat, tie, and vest better.

HT coat lapels too wide, tie too dark, vest has no orange weathering.

Pants debatable.

Both blazers are inaccurate. Though HT seems slightly better with a little more blue hue.

HT shirt seems worse.

Of all joker appearance in tdk, they made another purple coat one..

If only they make a 2-pack DX rooted/no rooted improved Bank Robber and Police costume, I think it will be easier for me to order....

Not sure if i will try for the rooted version or not. Imo hot toys has never pulled off a good rooted hair figure. Def going for the sculpted hair version most likely. I'm dreading the price though.

Only rooted figures I’ve liked they’ve done was Civil War Widow and the 2nd/3rd iteration of Wanda. It’s long enough and styled to actually look like solid hair, rather than a Barbie who can afford a better wig.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Clearly Inart took years to perfect what they were going to release. Hot Toys could only push it for so long before they have to share what they've created. And it shows.

INART IS STILL SUPERIOR IMO

I am a hot toys collector from the get-go. That's all that there was besides sideshow figures for a long time. Now there are many options and I love it. I still look at hot toys as money hungry.

 

[GaryPool]

I wonder if they can capture the detail like Inart did. Hot toys always lack texture on the skin.

Inart did it better.

For me the biggest crime from inart is the sculpt being dead. Nothing in it in terms of expression, and the likeness is off especially with those eyes.

Hot Toys just need to refine the hair and it's a clear winner.

Take the coat off the same figure and he doesn't look like a lollipop man.

Sort of hate to say it because Hot Toys aren't great, but they pulled it out with this and Anakin, thank you inart!

Here we go again

Had no idea it was this custom sculpt HT have used:

Shows how important the paint and hair is!

 

[jimbean]

At least the head isn't oversized like the inart one

The small eyes is exactly what throws the likeness off on the Hot Toys version imo. Too small and beady.

No, they most likely worked directly with the artist (I'm assuming Heise or Yixie) for this project. Probably asked them if they could reuse their sculpt for this so that they don't need to sculpt it themselves.

No they would have agreed with ambrosia (the artist) on this for sure.

 

[dominishin]

God damn why is the hair soo poofy. It's like they glued over sculpted hair.

 

[Gowithasmile!]

These both aren't perfect imo. Certain angles in hand the inart likeness is off

And the hot toys is no better imo. Something is throwing the likeness off and it just doesn't look that good to me.

 

[Gowithasmile!]

Ok thats good then, i guess that guy was talking nonsense. Good to hear.

 

[hulk181]

Any ideas when this goes up for PO?
