Just got my Artisan today and did a quick unboxing before getting back to work.
If this was the only modern TDK Joker in existence, I’d be pretty happy with it. Though, I still have the same problems with this as I’ve always had. But, I don’t regret the purchase at all. Of the two artisan figures I own, Jack Sparrow is the more impressive one.
To me, looks like HT fixed the top button placement and visible clasp on the vest. Mine looks fine. Speaking of the tailoring, aside from the tie, the tailoring on this above any previous official TDK Joker including InArt’s. Only thing I want to use from InArt’s clothing are the pants and suspenders.
The hair on mine isn’t lime green thankfully. But, there also isn’t much variance in color. Just like most InArt rooted figures, this will take some doing to get the style correct. Mine also has the seam near the hairline which is unforgivable. Not really sure how to fix that other than maybe a bead of glue to fill the gap and then paint but this is not something that should be necessary in the slightest at this price point. I will definitely be getting the sculpted headsculpt parted out.
I’ll be selling parts of my InArt set to use with this as I can’t see needing both and then will probably sell this one whenever InArt’s 2.0 comes out.
In the end, happy to have the HT figure.
