Seeing the headsculpts side by side is proof of why InArt coming into the playing field is so important. It forced Hot Toys to really step up their game when it felt like they were driving on neutral for a long time. As far as the figure, it's so unique and if I had the extra space, I probably would've gotten it.
the figure and the box are certainly colorful! I can see collectors that want to have EVERY JOKER MADE!!!! wanting this guy, he is unique, that's for sure.
I would have never thought the Inart would look that bad next to it but damn this head sculpt is phenomenal, I like the insart expression more but this is Just mind blowing
I bought this figure for the headsculpt with the intention of selling the rest on. I thought the concept looked daft at first. Now, if anything , I love the aesthetic even more than the portrait, it gets me thinking of what Heath's Joker could have got up to in TDKR, had we not lost him. Great job again Justin, just as the quality of the figures are exponentially improving, so is your coverage. Your attention-to-detail and ability to pick up on things (exhibits A, the weathered buttons on the DX33 and, b, the periscope (tm) neck) that many don't see, makes you stand out even more.
Pre-ordered this guy from Sideshow. Looks absolutely amazing! I don't own any Hot Toys Figures from The Dark Knight line, so this is a hell of a piece to start with
I can't be the only one that wishes we got more frequent collection tours. Every new video I'm wondering where they'll fit into the collection. especially the marvel/dc figures :)
I like to think that the armor, and the fabric are separate pieces and that’s why it doesn’t have any paint splatter on it haha Goated Headsculpt though
I just got mine I agree the head sculpt is amazing. You see the graffiti suit in one scene of one of the Batman armory’s but can’t remember which movie. Batman vs Superman not sure. But the more I look at it the more I like the colorful suit
THIS GUY LOOKS AWESOME! ALSO ANOTHER W VIDEO! YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN AND MY FRIENDS (lol we all really like watching your vids so we know what's good and what's not cuz you got TOP OF THE GAME description!)
I'm in love with this figure. I've always loved this concept of imposter Batman. as you said, we unfortunately don't have a cowl headsculpt, but I'm quite sure we'll get a custom one soon. if I had the money, I would immediately buy this and the Batfleck one (imposter). cool video as always Justin, you are amazing
Hi Justin, great video. I'm happy for people who really want this hot toys version of the Joker. I do think this is an upgrade from previous headsculpts. But I'm personally not a fan. The underbite doesn't really work for me. Inart isn't perfect either, but I do prefer Inart. But it is sad that I had to do my own alterations to make it better for me. I had to remove the PERS system because I had the weird eye problem where the eyes weren't aligned properly. And I feel this solved my big issue with my figure.
The first time I saw this figure announced I was like “what the hell is this?” It’s like Howard Chan at hot toys was like “hey do you remember in 2008’s dark knight where the joker kills Batman, stole his suit, and repainted it? Yeah me neither but let’s make a figure on it anyway”. Justin can you relate to this?
Honestly with this figure I feel like you’re either gonna love it or hate it and no in between. I think it’s a pretty cool concept but it’s not something to pose with the regular bale Batman. If anything I would put it next to the blue and gray bale suit.
I was torn between the Hot Toys Joker and the "hyper-real" JND figure, but I had to go with Hot Toys, because the price of JND is just way too high, and I was worried about how well the silicone parts would hold up over time. The head sculpt looks great here. With JND, you get the smeared makeup application from the prison scenes, but Hot Toys opted for the cleaner look, which I prefer. Will you be reviewing the JND version?
@@JustinsCollection understandable. $1000+ is ludicrous for a 1/6 scale figure, especially when the material it's made from is prone to damage/deterioration. That said, I look forward to checking out reviews for it.
This is crazy… Hot Toys New Artisan series are just crazy crazy good and is definitely the best in the market. Only thing that pisses me off is that it looks like that they could do this the whole time, (I assume in around at least 2020) and just decided not to do it. Until Inart came out. Anyway, at least in this comparison, Hot Toys Artisan really looks the top-notch as they said it would be. It looks like there is not a room to be improved for the next release. (in a head sculpt, of course) This thing is CRAZY!!
Great review Justin. I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned this but your theme music kind of reminds me of a Mentos commercial… you know ..but ,in a positive way😊
It's objectively 10x better than the Inart sculpt. It looks insanely good on the Inart body. Can't wait to get the Artisan Joker in if it looks this good.
@Maxime-h4f yes I understand. But if you think Inart is better, you're blind. It's like saying a Picasso is objectively better than a painting from a 2 year old. One is objectively better.
@Maxime-h4f no You're more than welcome to your opinion. I just can't imagine how anyone can't see the HT is clearly a better sculpt but I'm glad you enjoy the Inart.
@Maxime-h4f well one explanation is that a likeness can objectively look more like an actor than another. In this case there is no question the HT looks more like Ledger than Inart.
I think that head sculpt needs to go on inart joker and the suit can just be a graffiti covered empty suit like in the batcave cage. Similar to the robin suit in bvs.
I think the best use for this figure is to take the headsculpt and swap it with another version of joker, but the other headsulpt on this figure, and put this figure with the rest of thr hot toys original designs like the wb100 blue and Grey balr batman and all those color swapped iron man's
Is this figure good or bad? Yes. Seriously though it also looks very similar to an Arkham Knight modded Jokerized Batman I saw with the paint splatters. Very mixed, should have added a hunch so he'd at least give the illusion of Joker's frame.
Didn't expect the Hot Toys sculpt to look THAT much better. Holy crap. InArt, step it up and QUICK. Really glad I ordered and secured the Hot Toys "Black Widow" Artisan after seeing this, that'll be my first. The quality is 10/10.
Great review as always! I think the idea of Joker wearing a vandalized batsuit is nothing new, in the comics it was done more recently in the Joker War event, and if you go to any convention you'll find a Joker with a batsuit. The idea of spraying the suit with the Joker colors and painting ha ha is also not original, it's what's often done for this concept, so, and giving HT the benefit of the doubt, I think it looking like a cosplayer was a coincidence.
@@JustinsCollection it gives me animated universe vibes. Like, it’s how Heath Ledger’s Joker would look in Young Justice or the Injustice animated movies
Honestly this figure seems pretty random but honestly I think the only reason I give it a pass is because this absolutely seems like something we would have seen if the Ledger Joker kept appearing. Joker impersonating Batman to dispense his own brand of chaotic “justice” is a concept that pops up quite a bit in Batman media and honestly it makes so much sense for the purely chaotic Ledger Joker to take a crack at that scheme. Concept aside though, the figure itself isn’t half bad looking. That sculpt is absolutely fantastic!
If it was me I would display the ht head sculpt on the in art body. It’s better to improve the figures that have a clear position in the collection rather than finding a place for a figure that really doesn’t have a clear section.
The INART head sculpt is excellent, fucking immaculate and the craftsmanship on it is beyond words; but honestly doesn't even come close to the detail on this new one imo. The skin texture, expression, angles, hair, everything is just amazing on this new hot toys head sculpt which is remarkable for a mass produced piece. Tbh i think this entire release was meant to make money off ppl who wanted to get the head sculpt early, which makes me a bit concerned as to the eventual quality of the artisan joker's body and accessories, but time will tell
The issue here is that HT's may have more texture and the facial paint more irregular, which makes it look more "realistic", but if we look for photos of the Joker in the movie, both the sculpting and the white paint applied more regular and less "textured", InArt is much more precise...
Ok so I wanna own a hot toys some day if you had to choose one hot toy or third party figure that’s like hot toys which would you choose? Also I don’t mean from a certain franchise if you could choose any one figure from hot toys and the third party companies
Holy Seriously Insane! That New Hot Toys: Joker Batman Imposter Figure, ain't no Joke or is a Joke!? It made me want to say, Why so Serious and at the same time, I'm Batman! I don't know if want to Laugh or Remain Serious, Justin!? But Regardless, it's still Considered a Masterpiece. I know it's kind of Confusing. It's up to you, Buddy!? You're the Master of own Decision. 🌟
I was wondering how you access the eyes with these rooted hair figures, probably the same way as this. I was thinking the whole back of the head, not a small section. Or having the neck and head separate. I think this head is the same as the one we’re getting with the other rooted hair joker, minus the swap out tongue. Also when I saw this figure announced I was like “what the hell is this” it’s like Howard Chan at hot toys was like “ hey do you remember in 2008’s dark knight where the joker kills Batman, stole his suit, and repainted it? Yeah me neither but let’s make a figure on it anyway”.

Such a random but cool figure
Thanks!
True
why would you thank him? it's not like you made the figure
That’s what I said
@@Kominiarz729cuz like Justin bought it for quite a bit so he’s glad he likes it making him feel he made a good purchase (I think maybe)
Wow, I didn’t expect to like the Hot Toys head sculpt over the InArt, but the absolutely nailed it. Gorgeous.
I’m in the same boat
This figure looks amazing RIP Heath Ledger
I miss him he was extremely talented 😢
Yeah same I miss him one of the best jokers
RIP
Neither look like him
He died?
8s ago is wild
Edit: I absolutely dig the aesthetic on this figure, and man that headsculpt is great
Lol
The hot toys headsculpt on the inart body looks insane! Great review!
So good!
the figure and the box are certainly colorful! I can see collectors that want to have EVERY JOKER MADE!!!! wanting this guy, he is unique, that's for sure.
Same!
Holy hell, I had to go look at my Inart because this made the head sculpt look ok. I’m blown away by hot toys
So good
I would have never thought the Inart would look that bad next to it but damn this head sculpt is phenomenal, I like the insart expression more but this is Just mind blowing
Legit I didn’t think it would either

Yeah it's a great what if scenario figure. It's a real eye catcher!
Pre-ordered this guy from Sideshow. Looks absolutely amazing! I don't own any Hot Toys Figures from The Dark Knight line, so this is a hell of a piece to start with
Same with me.
Now I have it PO'd Ive got plans on what I'll get next to display along side him 🔥
Cool!
I absolutely love the colors on this figure and I’ll admit it looks weird with Joker head on a Batman armor , but still a great figure
Yeah fair
This is such a beautiful figure in hand. It looks great paired with cat women.
Nice!
Great Artisan Joker head sculpt review 😆. Looking forward to my Artisan Joker
Haha thank you
Dude that eyes down head up look had me laughing so hard but also feeling terrified at the same time
Yeah same haha
I am in awe of the head sculpt, but I personally love the whole figure
Cool!
He is so cool! I can’t wait to get it in hand. Very nice review Justin
Thank you!
The teeth look so real 😮
They do!
I’m on the waitlist for this one, would love to get it
Nice!
I can't be the only one that wishes we got more frequent collection tours. Every new video I'm wondering where they'll fit into the collection. especially the marvel/dc figures :)
They're really hard to shoot but I'll try!
Love this. It looks like something Joker would wear on a hijacked tv broadcast to intimidate Gotham if he ever defeated Batman.
Yeah true
I like to think that the armor, and the fabric are separate pieces and that’s why it doesn’t have any paint splatter on it haha Goated Headsculpt though
They're not though unfortunately
I just got mine I agree the head sculpt is amazing. You see the graffiti suit in one scene of one of the Batman armory’s but can’t remember which movie. Batman vs Superman not sure. But the more I look at it the more I like the colorful suit
That was a Robin suit display in BvS, not quite this though. Glad you love it!
THIS GUY LOOKS AWESOME! ALSO ANOTHER W VIDEO! YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN AND MY FRIENDS (lol we all really like watching your vids so we know what's good and what's not cuz you got TOP OF THE GAME description!)
Thank you!
Love the new hot toys sculpt on the inart body. It looks so good
Agreed!
Looks soo extremely cool!!!
Nice!
If they had done Nurse Joker with this head sculpt it would have been golden!
Agreed
Custom head sculpt of Batman in the cowl and it matching the paint job of the suit. Having the sculpt smiling as would be crazy
Agreed!
Stunning headsculpt. I think it’s better than the inart.
Agreed!
Great review, Justin. The Hot toys head looked REALLY good on the Inart body and suit.
Thank you sir! I agree, it’s going to stay that way now!
Shoutout the GOAT of figure reviews.
Thank you!
I'm in love with this figure.
I've always loved this concept of imposter Batman.
as you said, we unfortunately don't have a cowl headsculpt, but I'm quite sure we'll get a custom one soon.
if I had the money, I would immediately buy this and the Batfleck one (imposter).
cool video as always Justin, you are amazing
Glad you like it!
The headsculpt is awesome
Really good
This is a pretty cool what if, somehow the joker would have gotten into the batcave
Maybe Joker killed Batman and took his suit.
Agreed
That's a damn nice head sculpt right there 😍
It is!
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
Nice

It would look dope with a jokerised mask
Agreed!
I adore his outfit
Nice!
Saw your ex artisan joker review today and thank god the headsculpt isn’t the same as this one. This imposter joker headsculpt had me nervous
Fair!
Really cool figure! But did anyone els feel a tear com out when you saw that Awsome face sculpt 😂
Really good sculpt
I gotta agree, the Hot Toys sculpt looks better. IMHO, I don't think it's that close. Both great sculpts, HT won this round.
Fair

Thank you!
Great figure, got mine posed with WB100 Batman, love it!
Nice!
Been waiting for this one 🤞
Nice!
I ordered it day one
Sick!
I like Heath ledger imposter joker a little bit better goood review justin 🎉🎉
Thank you!
I really love your videos man they inspired me to start my own hot toys collection keep up the great work ❤
Thank you so much!
Might have to cop dis one fr

When i first saw this figure my first reaction was WTF? But the more i see it, i honestly think i love it.
Haha nice
This imposter Joker might stand perfectly nice with the WB 100 blue and gray bale batman.
Yeah true haha
Overall figure looks great, my only gripe is the ha has on the suit. Would look better without it i think.
Fair

Right as I sat down for lunch! Lmao
Nice!

Agreed
Honestly, now we need a jared leto Imposter Joker 2.0, lol, and do one for Adam West batman and Imposter Joker, haha
We do?
If it were me, I would use this head sculpt on the InArt Joker body and this body would go back in the box.
Lol
Too bad this figure was instantly sold out..had no chance to preorder it :( thank you for the review and great work as always
Ah damn
Such a cool wierd muxed figure
Agreed
Crazy!!!
Indeed
😗 This is... interesting
Very
I don't know about this figure it is so confuisng but the head sculpt is so strong
Agreed

Agreed
Joker head on Inart body for sure, the imposter Batman body is such an odd thing.
Yeah!
Get a custom paint batman cowl head piece to match the body for Build a Figure.
Working on it
I think oaty customs is doing a joker head sculpt soon
Cool!
Is this figure good or bad?
Yes.

Yeah they killed it!
the figure is a real Laugh
Lol
would be nice if they put like a “ha! ha! ha!” at the back of his cape as well
True!
If the actual Batman armor had consistent color and it came with a joker sculpted with a cowl. I think it would be much better figure
Fair enough
Y do i like this
Yeah same haha
"Do you like my new cosplay Batman? I'm gonna use it the next time I escape Arkham Asylum."
Lol
Nobody's going to say it? The head looks really big...too big. Great review
Yeah it is. It was never made for this body

Another stimulus and i get this lol😂
Hope you like it!
I wish the Batman who laughs had this drip
Agreed
I think if they removed the shoulder armor and kept his trench coat and put the gauntlets I think it would’ve looked better in my opinion
That would be dope
I bet Chris Nolan has this next to his uncut edition of The Dark Knight
Lol
I wonder if this headpiece is the same as the Dark Knight's
Should be
The issue here is that HT's may have more texture and the facial paint more irregular, which makes it look more "realistic", but if we look for photos of the Joker in the movie, both the sculpting and the white paint applied more regular and less "textured", InArt is much more precise...
Fair enough
Hey Justin! Would it be great if I bought this and put the artisan sculpt on the sculpted joker? Since I missed the original artisan one lol.
Sure that should work!
I got mine ordered from sideshow, I just wish they made a non artisan version. The artisan is not worth the price.
