Super Freak
Joker is a nice statue and everything you said about the detail is correct but to me it’s still very underwhelming. The body is skinny making everything look small and the pose is boring and rehashed. The base is large and nice but it has to be to make up for the Joker himself being really nothing but a head sculpt. I know it’s a great representation of the character but it just didn’t wow me at all. In fact seeing Joker gave me a whole new perspective on what I want out of PF’s and for these prices I want WOW factor…. and Joker didn’t have it. In fact, I canceled Batman as well since he is basically just a slight upgrade (but huge cost upgrade) from every Batman statue we have ever seen… he standing on a gargoyle looking out over the city with his cape blowing behind him… wow... that’s different. I am 100% happy with my decision to sell my Joker and get the very impressive and major WOW factor Skaar instead. While the small details my not be as good he blows Joker out of the water in terms of feeling like I got my money’s worth and in terms of impressing everyone who sees him. Skaar is a collection centerpiece (and I only have the regular. How much more would I be praising it if I had the axe too?)
I agree with ALL of this. I owned him and when the time came I SOLD him with EASE, and I have never regretted it. He only has a sculpted Head, hands, feet, and base. As a SCULPTURE he is over hyped IMHO. Now as a statue he looks great. Now I have seen two Skaars and intend to get him when the time is right (cash flow and all). Skaar is BY FAR the better superior sculpt IMO. Front the musculature to the dynamic pose he is ALL win, and the absolute BEST I have personally seem, and though I am I newb I have seen all of the big statues from the past 2 or 3 years.
