Hot Toys The Dark Knight Joker DX33-Artisan/Sculpted 1/6 Scale Figure

Yeah i am thinking that HT and rooted hair is just not something they are going to master no matter how many times they do it. Just too many qc issues to deal with. That time would be better spent further improving paint work and sculpted hair.

I wish it looked as good as a paid custom, but I am perfectly happy with the figure for the price, it really does look like a little Heath on the shelf, by far their best sculpt to date.

The hair on the sculpted version is pretty incredible, I think the best sculpted hair we've seen on a ledger joker figure. Sometimes looks better than the rooted imo

I prefer the artisan version but agree, the sculpted version is the best sculpted hair so far, its great.

Some food for thought.
Grabbed this photo from the imposter Joker thread. To my untrained eye, the hair looks rooted to the scalp and doesn't look to have the glue line issue of this Artisan scalp.
This is just a one off example but I did observe a few others and they looked similar.
If this pattern continues with a bigger sample size of both versions then looks like more effort was put into the imposter hair than the Artisan hair. I say this specifically to the scalp integration since the overall hairstyle of the Artisan looks better than the Imposter's.

The artisan hairline is done different and does look better in hand, there is a very subtle raised rind where the hair emerges that makes it look more natural where the white paint is caked subtly on the hairline, tho where the painters didn't pay as much attention to that you can tell its rooted not grown if you stare at it. If you do not look at the figure in a magnifying glass, it looks fantastic.
