Hot Toys: The Dark Knight: 1/4 The Joker

[ShadowGuardian]

Ended up letting this guy go, and of those pinnacle Ledger Joker statues I've settled on the Prime 1 to replace it. Quite a big difference in price (and size!), but worth it to me for such a defining performance and film. Plus the Joker is just my favorite villain period, so I can justify it. At least I tell myself that.

You can still sell the 1/4 Hot Toys for above retail, or at worst at it, but I'm betting that once the inevitable DX20 TDK Joker 3.0 is announced a lot of Hot Toys collectors aren't going to care for the quarter scale and it will be selling for significantly less on the secondary market.

Any chance Hot Toys will reissue their 1/4 scale TDK Batman and Joker figures?

I would say with recent release of dx19, most likely yes. I?m hoping for it.

Me too, I would be all over it. I'm quite happy Hot Toys are doing reissues of their earlier models as I got into Hot Toys in 2013.

Modified HT 1/4 Joker. New headsculpt by Jaxon Xu with hair and painting by Sinag. Coat by Daftoys. Still need to weather that jacket. But it's become a real gem with these custom pieces. Now I need to modify or find a base without all those Ha ha's.

I dig the sculpt and paintjob a lot. It's tricky, Heath's hair and makeup changed noticeably from scene to scene, so it's difficult to really nail down a definitive portrait. But as my favorite look was his mob scene introduction this paint and hair is pretty close.

SAY GOOD BYE TO THOSE UNSIGHTLY CUTOUTS

Hey all. Thought I'd share this tip for those who can't stand the "Ha Ha Ha" cut outs on Hot Toys 1/4 scale Joker display base. I had considered them for awhile and how I might remove them. Those braver than me have tried and said the results can be pretty spotty with a lot of sanding and repainting necessary. So while perusing replacement bases on ebay, I came across the HT Thanos Endgame stand that looked nearly identical. So I ordered it and low and behold, it's an exact match, right down to the crotch grabber attachment. By simply unscrewing the four small screws on the bottom, I could exchange the decalled tops (no need to try and peal and exchange those stickers) with no modification or force. Then the name plates are also sized identically and just snap off and can be swapped. Boom. The best part is that they can all be easily exchanged right back again if you want to go stock in the future. This is a totally clean simple reversible exchange. No breakage or modification necessary, just a small scredriver and five minutes.

I'm gonna do the same thing for the HT 1/4 Batman Begins base next.

Nice job - that looks 1000% better!

Just did a fun repose of my joker. When I can get a pose like this makes me love this guy more.

Ingenious! Yeah HT reuses bases, so this makes for a really good [subtle] modification.

Good luck…my sympathies that Queen Studios has probably caused this figure’s bubble to burst…had to put mine back in the box now that I’ve seen what’s coming…

 

[dominishin]

Did this ever really hit high prices? HT 1/4s generally don't go above retail.

Seen this still sell for $650+. The DX11 still hitting $500+. I don't think QS really effects HT that much.

Anyways hoping there will be recasts of the 1/4 QS to pop on this, even though I have the artist edition on order.

 

[ironwez20]

I will keep mine. I like it but it’s underwhelming tbh. I remember opening it and thinking the bank robber version was better.

 

[jal76]

Yep…not letting mine go either…easy to hold onto it for sentimental value when I realize that I would not be able to get what I paid for it now…

 

[Bgnyc007]

Agreed I’m totally holding on to mine along with DX11 for that laughing sculpt display. He still photographs well.
