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

[webhead05]

I only wish they would've included gloveless hands like InArt so we could vary the looks up, but alas. They've always gotta leave something for the 2.0, I guess.

Regardless, Hot Toys have come a long way since I started 5 years ago. It can be argued that it shouldn't have taken this long -- and that they can still do more -- but I'm willing to hand out praise as much as criticism, when each is earned. This is a promising start for the Artisan line.

I appreciate people’s takes on this, but I of course, largely disagree lol. It’ll always be a divisive character representation in figure form.

Imo, INART’s major detractor of the likeness is the variance in amount of hair and the range in color. I’m also of the opinion that 90% of collectors simply don’t position the eyes well at all, which again, also hinders likeness. The likeness itself is pretty spot on to Heath (for a mass produced product), and I’m shocked when people say they don’t see it. Again, perhaps it’s because they have the eyes looking derpy, which whenever I see those sculpts, I’m like yeah, that looks terrible.

I personally don’t see Heath at all in the Hot Toys portrait and not a big fan of the open mouth expression. I think the bloggers are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here with how good it looks. Just discussing.

With the face paint improvements this came out really really good. I perfer this to InArt as it looks like the Joker where to me InArt looks like Heath in makeup. Glad I snagged an artisan copy, this looks like a fantastic release a couple of the photos of the artisan fools my brain for a second to think its a movie shot.
