JND Studios 1/6 scale Heath Ledger Joker figure

Unexpected move from JND. Good on them.
However my fundamental issue has always been the sculpt which I seriously doubt they'd be amending.

I certainly give them credit for taking on board the feedback and saying they will fix the issues. I'm curious to see how much they correct, also makes me wonder how many did they produce so far as that's alot of work?

I still have my order but won't be paying until I've seen the improvements. If not then guess I'll take a hit on the NRD.

With the changes they've stated as to what they'll make, if done well, will that be enough for you to keep your order?

As, although it'd be fantastic, they probably won't make any other revisions (ie paint, sculpt etc.), so you'd be okay with the sculpts etc. along with the changes?

Anybody wants to sell the dogs? Make a little of their money back?

Why not buy these 1

Good to see them taking the criticism to heart and improving the release, as much as collectors like make fun of failures like this, especially someone like JND who has a very "smug" attitude, it still sucks when something you worked so hard on is poorly received. Hopefully they realize that they need to start listening to the constructive feedback in the future instead of outright ignoring it.

Wonder why they didn’t listen to any of the feedback before going into production. Criticism must have been overwhelming upon release for them to recall the figure like this. Saw others saying they wished they did the same for a few of their statues.

Probably a significant amount of cancellation requests.

They're well known for their arrogant attitude, but they've only had to deal with statue collectors and what they sell doesn't have a lot of competition. They were woefully unprepared for how vocal 1/6 collectors can be, and they didn't take into account there are several other established 1/6 brands that they have to compete with, either out of ignorance or pure narcissism. My guess is the cancellation requests must've been overwhelming, coupled with all the bad press they're getting. Hopefully they learn and improve from this, and realize the 1/6 market is a whole different beast to what they're used to.

It's astonishing how Ledger's Joker has become the litmus-test for high end 1/6 collectibles. Jumping into the 1/6 market with a Ledger Joker is pretty much "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here"...

Good to see that finally crack.

JND is one of the top 3 in 1/3 scale, with QS and P1 in terms of realism and iconic characters. Their statues always sold out and it's a much smaller buyer pool compared to 1/6th. They would have no chance if this continued with HT and IA. If they listen more and lower pricing, they have a huge chance moving forward setting a bench mark in quality and tech. Why it's a smart move on them to eat crow and do what's right. Excited for the revisions!
