That HT is not even new, same sculpt from 8 years ago.

Are you looking at the 1/4 Hot Toys, in the post above your comment?

I certainly am lol

I hope they give collectors a second cheaper option for those who don't need the Bale head.

He’s looking pretty tan but this sculpt will be tough to beat. At the price point it definitely should but their Joker likeness is way off so we’ll see. Hope they can kill it.

I don't understand how anyone can say the JND Joker is "way off"... people need
to get their eyes checked, seriously.

It's close to their proto but for the price I would be disappointed

Book me an eye test if you think I need my eyes tested too lol

I think we need to wait for in hand photos. I remember people ripping WW before she was in the hands of collectors. That being said, and this is all subjective, it absolutely looks great to me. Maybe the hair needs a bit of styling but otherwise it’s nailed from the expression to the tailoring, IMO.

Likeness conversations are always interesting to me for the fact that no amount of photos, screencaps, diagrams etc will ever actually take the place of what we see in our mind/head for the character/actor. Of course it can get out of hand when folks start taking things personal, but it usually is interesting to me from an outside looking in perspective to try to see what other ppl see and how/if it aligns with my own.

If you can’t see the differences in profiles/hair/facial features then perhaps you should see an optometrist.

Totally. Price apart by the way....

People see what they want to see I guess?

The only thing I like more about this one compared to queen is that the pattern on his shirt is smaller as it should be if his clothes were shrunk to 1/3. On 1/4 I guess it's not as easy to pull off

Aside from that, the head shape and hair rooting/colour/shape is just off, as well as the face shape

I don't really rate this sculpt. Looks like it has his facial features but then his skin has been smoothed to oblivion, he looks like Christian Bale in the film, but without any details, he looks old and young at the same time.

Man JND is obnoxious with these teasers. It's a statue, get over yourselves and just show it.

What happens if Queen is better?

They are seeking out every product. Clearly they are doing something right. Lol
I guess it just doesn’t bother me?

The batman is better than QS.

Bale head kind of odd. He looks extra worried and shape seems off.

Don't really like how you can't separate the duo set though. Should've came with detachable or separate bases.
