JND Studios 1/6 scale Heath Ledger Joker figure

[BACON!]

Someone on this forum years ago likend collecting 1/6 figures to collecting fruit. They look great at first blush, then slowly deteriorate or get superseded by better versions. To me, Ledger Jokers are like apples.

Lots of Joker footage in the latest teaser along with all the new tech. Since it looks like he'll come with bare hands for the interogation/jail scenes, I wonder if he'll also come with 2 sculpts or if there will be 2 versions? I also wonder what "C Type Only" means when it comes to the articulated hands? Is that only for bare hands and won't be shared for the gloved hands? I guess we'll find out soon.

Looks like JND has beaten InArt to the magnetic moveable eye feature (plus they're glass!) so no removable back panel I'd guess glass eyes, fully hidden articulation for the head/neck with what looks to be a skull under the silicon head, real punched rooted hair and not just glued on. This is looking to really be a step above InArt’s and HT’s TDK Jokers at least in terms of something new that's pushing the hobby forward for the scale. I know folks are tired of TDK Jokers, but putting that aside, the advancements teased here seem pretty impressive.

That see-through silicone sculpt is terrifying. Good lord. The seamless movement is cool to see but this all looks insanely expensive.

Extremely intrigued by this. Magnetic glass eyes. Individually articulated fingers. Silicone skin. Realistic body odor. Definitive TDK Joker? Possibly…until next month when a new TDK Joker is revealed by (insert new 1/6 company) that blows them all away.

InArt already working on their 2.0 since they themselves have already surpassed their own quality since that release

I don’t doubt this. Not. One. Bit.

Interesting definitely. It'll work for those non-masked characters like Superman but the silicone seamless feature doesn't work for Batman.

In just a year, the hobby has made another thunderous LEAP forward!

If all this stuff works -- it will be INSANE!!!


I'm in! I'm so in!

They don't really need it for TDK Batman, but definitely will be great for a BvS Batman if they make him. He'd be able to turn his head like in the movie without the whole piece turning and coming out of alignment and off the shoulders. Same for a Begins batman-while he doesn't really turn his head in that Begins cowl, you'd be able to keep the lower portion in place to remain accurate while still getting some head/neck articulation

Many collectors with their InArt Jokers after they saw the JND teaser:

And poor Hot Toys haven’t even released their Artisan Joker and they have to deal with this

This is downright revolutionary. If JND pull this off, they will change the whole hobby.

Just kinda feels weird for the cowl to have that same silicone texture. I associate the silicone with "flesh" rather than some sort of kevlar type armor.

Alright alright looks good.

Their 1/6 line is looking more impressive in both tech and likeness than their 1/3 TBH.

I'd been feeling that way pretty much since I've opened my InArt Joker and that teaser video was just the nail in the coffin. It will be sold in 2024

Or it may, like the BVS cowl did.

Yea I can understand that. Though, for ones like the Batfleck cowls and Keaton, I'd image the texture/feel of the silicone would be more accurate to the real props made of rubber/foam latex etc.

Now I hope JND gets the Indiana Jones license.

No more needing 3 different versions to chose from: neckless, sculpt with neck, or separate sculpt with separate neck/chest piece. Just the one and you still retain articulation in the head and neck

This. This right here times 1000%. We are in dire need of a decent, high end RotLA Indy. I just don’t understand why no one is taking a stab at this.
