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

[batfan08]

Yes I’m waiting for a rolling eye rooted hair clown masked sculpt, updated hand holding mask and artisan Joker sculpt. They’ll do it.

Maaaan, if they took the opportunity to make a head with that “what doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger” grin/smiling sculpt to use with other figures. That’d be real tough to turn down…

Besides eBay, any place we can still get DX33? Thx.

No, that was sold out in less then an hour on launch day at Sideshow and very quickly from HK sellers. Secondary market only now for all current artisan releases.

There’s no guarantee, but you can always hop on the waitlist at sideshow and hope you get a conversion. Doesn’t hurt to just try

That Inart's hair has dried out in the video, it needs some figure maintenance to add product and work the hair, it looks like Joker asked to make it "poofy on top".

I still think the Hot Toy's topcoat looks like a bath robe, tailored shoulder shapes are just non-existent it appears, lapels are really oversized and too vibrant purple color. Need it in hand to confirm, if it just needs futzed better for the fit.

Doesn't look like anyone ever 'thinned' out the InArt hair. I always wondered how it would look with less bulk. When you take the back off to move the eyes, the profile instantly looks better without the thick mullet in back.

The hair on HT looks better right out of the box.


After looking at so many custom heads in the last 2 years since InArt came out, I see the flaws in both InArt and HT, honestly.

Custom bros watching people argue which subpar (Hot Toys / Inart) figure looks better

It’s this sort of looking down on, elitist type attitude from some “custom bros” that give the custom community as a whole a bad rap

That's true but I took that post as a joke. Funny reference.

Gotcha. If it was, then it definitely went over my head and I’ll happily eat crow on that

I don't know if Scout Trooper is a ''custom bro'' but even if he is I still would have chuckled at that. Smug Harry Osborn literally looking down on us

Sometimes, funny is funny.

We should all laugh at ourselves a lot more.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Fair enough. Guess I took it too seriously

It's all in good fun.

In truth, they're both great figures, and they each have their shortcomings.

But if we're going to wage WAR over minutia, then why settle for either option?

And therein lies the point of my post.
It's all so amusing (and it should be for everybody).

I wouldn't be so silly to belittle someone, or assert a kind of dominance (over a doll no less).

Although a lot of us are passionate about the details (clearly), and admittedly, that may come with a certain pride.

Maybe a part of me looks at the world in disgust, wherein an artist or a musician or what-have-you has to scrounge for scraps, when the corporate world that exploits that talent continues to thrive.

Maybe it pains me to see quality (across the board) valued less in favor of schlock.

And maybe that's enough for somebody to call me an elitist.. to which I can only say...

Who gives a ****?

lol
