Just take the money out of the equation for a second.
Your financial situation is your business nobody else’s it’s not HT, Inart or Ferrari or Lambo or any other luxary item company’s problem if you don’t like their prices.
Regardless if the head is a TAD too big or a TAD too small or if the hair is only 98% manageable you simply are not going to get a more LIFE like Heath Ledger Joker in THAT scale anytime soon.
The outfit is absolutely insane!
That IS THE JOKER!
If it’s too expensive for you at that quality then I wish you the best of luck making one yourself that will look better.
Or pay the high cost and just appreciate and enjoy the fact that you own one of the best representations of that character at that ridiculous scale at any scale really without you having to do anything but hit BUY!
I ain’t got time to worry about 2% inaccuracies.
When I left we were all salivating over these Joker's. Ten hours later the heads are huge, doesn't look like Ledger....what happened?
Wow did the mood of this thread turn sour while I've been to bed!
Listen, unless you are capable of going full Lex Luthor and simply shrink-ray the actual thing itself down to 1/6 scale then you will never get it 100% perfectly right. You can get damn close to 100%, but never absolutely perfect.
For what its worth has anyone considered that the Joker head isn't out of scale but its a combination of:
1 - Maybe Heath Ledger has a larger head - I know MY skull is massively out of proportion with my frame
2 - Justin specifically notes that the figure is hunched - meaning the head would be closer to the camera than the shoulders, which can make it look bigger
3 - the hair might just be a little poofy and need a little attention
4 - Hot Toys isn't the baseline for reality as it often underscales its heads
I know people seem to get particularly anal about Heath Ledger's Joker for some reason - hence why there are more customs of him then nearly every other custom project COMBINED - but this is, to my eyes, the very best Ledger Joker in 1/6 ever, yes better than customs.
Maybe there is something you prefer from some other custom run or figure to one element here - but let me tell you as someone who DOES purchase custom figures that such things make this Inart figure look like a comparative bargain - I have know custom runs on a figure go over $2000 for a SINGLE FIGURE. You are getting not one but TWO top of the line, state of the art HL Joker figures here with incredible tailoring, rooting, painting, sculpting, extremely high-quality accessories, innovative arms/wrists tech, advanced magnetic base AND a large, meticulously crafted, complex, diecast and wood diorama for half the price of the average high-end custom run price. AND its licensed.
Frankly - though it is expensive - that doesn't mean it isn't a quality package for its price.
If you are looking for reasons not to like this, maybe to make yourself feel better about the unavailability, brand loyalty to HT or some custom work, or maybe you really genuinely cannot look past the tiniest differences that separate this from being a literal 1/6 shrunken HL Joker (in which case I bid you good luck on your eternal voyage for perfection - for I suspect you will NEVER be satisfied) then by all means nit-pick, but lets not pretend here that these are some glaring flaws that ruin the figure, or that Inart haven't delivered or some Molecule 8 shenanigans are going on or other nonsense.
This is (overall - like I said an element here and an element there are better in other offerings) the best representation of HL Joker in 1/6 - in my opinion.
I for one am hyped and I will REMAIN hyped.
Regardless, I don't have the full proof or knowledge of whatever timeline mumbo jumbo they said here and there about Toyswonderland outside of what Kit has been telling us really. No idea what Inart is saying over on Chinese forums since the vast majority of us don't have access to that. It's quite clear though that they sent Justin the figures for review since he's really the main YouTube guy for 1/6 figures (unfornately) to gain the most views on it. Not sure why they aren't just content with doing their own video like how Prime 1 Studio does their showcases but again it's most likely for the view that Justin gets, which is a shame.
