Re: The Dark Knight Joker
Although this statue looks horrid rightnow i think there's a lot of opportunity for SS to make this better if they will just hear and consider our inputs on what needs to be changed.

They'd have to scrap it and start completely anew. No, they're not going to do that.

Sadly that's something they pretty much never do and it has resulted in a lot of inferior products from them the last few years.

Re: The Dark Knight Joker
I'm probably the wrong person to chime in since I'm not Ledger-ite or Nolan-ite, but I think it looks pretty damn good. Interesting pose, good sculpt, decent paint apps and clothing. Hair is a little less refined than it could be, but there are tradeoffs with sculpted hair at this scale.
C'mon now Mike, it's not that bad

Cheap, translucent flames have to go, though. Yuck.

Re: The Dark Knight Joker
I love it .. that being said maybe there's a better way to approach SSC about changes...constructive dialog and input.. not name calling and bashing..what about a thread here with constructive crits to help shape upcoming releases. SSC does not need to respond only read and make professional choices based off of the collectors and fans comments.. Asmus Toys does that with great effect. I really enjoy this statue but the flames could go.. and I'm sure there will be an EX feature...I think the matching base to The Dark Knight PF is great.. What do others think about a thread based on suggestion that SSC can read and maybe help shape their products.

I think it looks great... The Pose works... Granted he needs to have a knife in his hand and not the card... The card is a weird choice... But everything else looks fine IMO

Re: The Dark Knight Joker
SS reads the posts then completely ignores them, even the good ones that try to help. Pretty sure it has always been like that and will continue as long as people keep buying. Can't understand it, it would make them more money and us happy, but never happens.

Re: The Dark Knight Joker
Honestly, it's pretty bad. I'm very much disappointed with the outcome of both of The Dark Knight Premium Formats. I was hoping these would be the ultimate representations of these two characters from Nolan's adaptation. Sadly that is not the case by a long shot. While the Batman bares a better likeness to Bale than this does Ledger, that pose is an extremely unnatural fighting stance. As for the Joker, I'm not sure what the hell that crazy position is all about, but it's damn ugly. He looks like a cross between Golum and a squatting dog. Not once did we see Batman or Joker hold a pose like this during any part of the film or in any of the promo shots.
I truly think Sideshow does a better job on their comic book styled Premium Formats than they do on movie versions. They tend to get a little too lazy and sloppy with these poses. Take the Christopher Reeve PF for example. There isn't one thing about that pose that's anywhere close to something we saw out of that era. The bottom line is that for the price tag they put on these statues, I expect a little better. If Sideshow wants to do statues based on a live-action version of a character then they should study it closer. Perhaps even take a few tips from Tweeterhead who is knocking it out of the park with their '66 line and the latest Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman maquette.

Re: The Dark Knight Joker
Sideshow Execs: Let's do a pose no one has done of the Joker yet.
Sculptors: Okay... What do you have in mind?
Sideshow Execs: How about he's hunched over holding a machine gun in one hand, and the other hand holding his card.
Sculptors: Hmm... okay. So can I get some reference pics of Jared Leto?
Sideshow Execs: We're doing The Dark Knight version
Sculptors: Oh sweet! But... Isn't this like 7 years late to capitalize on after other pieces have already long released?
Sideshow Execs: Just do it.
Sculptors: There wasn't even a scene of him doing these two things at the same time.
Sideshow: That's how we roll. What... you think doing an iconic pose would be better or something? Get to work....

Re: The Dark Knight Joker
I get people being disappointed.. But I think this is a great pose overall... He just should not be holding a card... A knife and all is good... IMO it captures how ledger looked and moved..
I have seen a pic or two of people wanting the basic museum pose form the poster... I can hear people complaining about how boring that would have been also.
I don't... I look at it and I think it's brilliant... Think I will PO both possibly... I don't know... So much coming out. But this is one of the best reveals IMO
