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

[Wor-Gar]

Heath was just over 6foot, by now means a short guy. I'm pretty sure the figure is accurate in 1:6.

So InArt must be 11.5 inches tall then. Strange no one mentioned that.


I really like the darker grape color of the HT coat. I wonder if it would be too big for InArt Joker?

I'd love to get the head, shoes and coat in hand just to see...

I know he's just being pedantic but to expand on the finer point here; these figures can almost never be considered viable financial investments. Even customs.

They sell for slightly more than retail for a little while after release- some maybe even retain that increased value for several years, some lose it almost immediately- but, inevitably, the hobby progresses and old figures either deteriorate or become outdated first and then obsolete with the arrival of 2.0s, 3.0s, new versions from new companies etc. reducing their resale value and invalidating any investment intent.

Therefore, Widow would be just an addition to your collection.

This wise words. For this exact reason i sometimes thinking over to just sell everything and cash in while i still can.... but still its my hobby.... my passion... i am just to weak to do so when i still enjoying this on the other hand money isnt everything, and you have to enjoy the little things in life that gives you joy. Maybe one day i'm done with it or maybe not

I don’t like the big knife slots on the shoes here,
much more subtle on the DX11. That would bug me more than the inaccuracy of them.

You've got good eyes, I didn't even see that.

hair here looks like.. dreads (both hs)

 

[Nick D]

You've got good eyes, I didn't even see that.

Yeah and those eyes have cost me thousands and yet I still want my custom to be better. Buy this or the JND Type A and run away fast.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I like the teeth... but I probably would never use the eyes more than once as they seem difficult to get to. I haven't budged the InArt in all this time.

For the cost of this head on the secondary market, I could fund the better part of a professional repaint of my InArt sculpt. But then, I've seen better heads than both HT or InArt out there now...

Thus, I continue my futile quest for a custom Ledger sculpt... somewhere, out there.

At this point, I think pending scale I'd just be after the HT coat.

 

[GrimmReapah]

Like everything i see here on the new Artisan. I am shocked some folks saying he doesnt even look like heath. What they've been drinking? Give me some

HT's sculpt makes IA's look cartoonish in comparison here..IA's eyes are way to close and why is his nose so big? Glad to have scored both the Artisan and sculpted HT's!

 

[robbiethepainter]

That looks pretty great to me.

 

[HyperDrive]

They both look off to me in Justin's comparison pic

No one ever will have a decent looking INART Ledger cause no one ever does the SERS mod and yeah, most copies have crappy flared out hair.

This isn’t even the last Ledger Joker. We have JND’s version releasing and then INART is rumored to be working on a 2.0. Hot Toys will probably do a new version to follow that 3-5 years from now. It’s a never ending cycle with this character. Just need to know when to call it done, at least if you’re staying within a company produced quality realm. Not sure how JND operates but who knows if they decide to do a 2.0 years from now when they’ve further improved their silicone game.

 

[Godfather1408]

Also not sure if anyone noticed but the Artisan and normal are 2 different DX names.

Sculpted is DX32
Artisan DX33

 

[HyperDrive]

Idk, but I still think this is the stronger likeness. In person it looks like a spitting image of Ledger as the character, IMO. I think the expression is versatile and menacing.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Heath does have a fat nose...

 

[HyperDrive]

I have to plug it but this is still the best copy out there.

 

[rayeknor]

InArt I see Heath in makeup hot toys I see the Joker, latest photos just made it more clear to me. I almost imported the rooted inart 2pack back in the day, so glad I resisted. JND is too much money for a non statue figure for me, this artisan release is the sweet middle spot.

 

[Nick D]

There’s about three sculpts from the past two years that have managed to capture both Ledger and The Joker.

Other than these three, best option would be to get one of the three Ledgers from the three companies rehaired and repainted.

I have to plug it but this is still the best copy out there.

Hot Toys looks great out of the box. The Inart needs restyling of the hair though to really make that likeness come out.
