I just really dislike the open mouth choice. Was a smirk so hard?

In general i just don’t like the sort of bug eyed look. He looks like he just did a line in most of these blogger photos lol.

But I love that he came with almost every accessory. Not sure why InArt skimped out on the dang pencil at the very least. And a lot more varied hands (hopefully a lot easier to put on than those useless magnet pegs InArt went with that also make no sense.)

With this the artisan line is alive and well, hopefully it stays like that and Anakin is not just a new sculpt with rooted hair, his costume has a lot of room for improvement

Well. We had many smirk sculpts and closed-mouth neutral ones, so I actually appreciate something different and licking was one of the Ledger's tips for performing the Joker.
 
Exactly this. It was very underwhelming in hand, you can see it’s a good sculpt and it’s just properly lazy painting-it’s a waste of a great sculpt. The hairs good, better out the box than my inart joker but the paint apps just killed it. I was lucky enough that sideshow accepted my request for a full return because I wasn’t happy with it.
It’s a great sculpt, but the paint lacks detail and imo there’s too much hair. Overall it’s a decent release, but I won’t be keeping my sculpted version.

Same sculpt by a custom artist:
 
The velcro on the lapels is a really nice touch.

I appreciate this sort of stuff.

Probably should have done the same for the grenade compartments.
That’s not Velcro on the lapel. That’s fabric interfacing that is ironed on. In this use, it helps the lapels keep their shape and form.

Agreed this Heise custom is superior in paint and hair. But the price for the sculpt itself and then the added cost for this kind of custom paint/rooting work makes the HT offering much more attractive. It’s a close facsimile at a fraction of the price.
