catching up on this one late! Really fair review of the figure. Looks nice, but the price is a big deal breaker. Again really fair look at the piece while still being able to talk openly about InArts practices.
They should have done a single rooted option. I totally agree it seemed like a cash grab. The rooted definitely looks much better. I ended up buying the rooted two pack and selling the extra figure and dio and made a hood bit of my money back.
Too right. As nice as the diorama and second figure is, I could have done without them. This would have made the figure half the price and we'd have got a MUCH smaller box, something which is not only ridiculously large, and a pain in the ass to store, it's added so much more to the shipping fees. Hopefully Inart will learn from this.
Great insight from the veteran. Good point with that die cast machine gun pulling down constantly. That could become a problem in the long run, decided to repose mine for now. Thanks for the review Fabs, hope you're well 🌝🤙🏼
Do you have any evidence for the "backfiring"? Going by the various sites, it would appear as though the rooted double pack, the $1000 set, is the most difficult to find, while you can still pick up the two sculpted sets. I do agree with you regarding the hash job Inart made of the initial 3 day pre-order window. But again, I do not consider this a backfire, more so an underestimation of how popular this piece was going to be. So they chose to make additional batches and started another pre-order campaign in October last year, getting Justin onboard for the Vegas event to give them a signal boost, and to get the normies onboard. Unfortunately by doing this, by having to make probably thousands more of these Jokers, it has most likely put all their other figures way behind schedule. As for the rooted hair and the pricing, if Inart were using Hot toys method I would agree. The pricing would be extortionate, but Inart are not doing this. They are using the painstaking techniques that the very expensive custom artists use, i.e. sourcing real hair, cutting it, dyeing it, making what appears to be a wig (instead of plugging it crudely as doll manufacturers do) , and then styling it. And they do this twice. If there is a backfire, it would be a loss of good will due to hiding the rooted figure behind a 2 piece set and $1000 paywall, and them not standing by their original plan to produce 1 batch which upset those who like to part of a small, exclusive group. Because the final product has turned out so well it would appear that those grievances have washed away. Good point about the waist. I would add that the posture of the figure doesn't help either - head leaning forward, hunched over shoulders, the waist, and also the shoes, with raised toe boxes.
Great honest review. Absolutely agree cash grab. If it wasn’t Ledger I never would’ve paid that much for the rooted. I’m still pissed the purple coat wasn’t offered in single form. I haven’t even taken the jail cell out or assembled the figure. No room to display it. At their prices they won’t have me for many figures
Rooted is better, altho overpriced. But you can sell one of them at least. But really, with all you have there i doubt the price was a problem. I think it will rise in value and these sculpted ones wont as much. The hair needed to be styled isnt much if an issue considering countless collectors have the ones like black widow(which i think look like ugly dolls personally. )
Yea that to me is to much for me. Even ebay sellers that are ok shape want dx 11 2.0 600 dollars lol you won't get me but i hope hot toys do another heath ledger joker down the road. Inart just out of my price range
Built my own from a narrow body, Topo Purple coat set, a custom stand from Ebay, and Supreme head sculpt. $183.00 total and looks as good and I think better that Inart! To each his own! Big time cash grab! Good video though.
Nice video. Im still waiting for sculpted twopack also! Cant wait!
🙏🏼👊🏼
Soooooo HAPPY i decided to go with the rooted version ... by far the BEST
Now we need the bank robber Joker with the school bus diorama 😎🥺😬
😆 I'll pass on that

Thank you 🙏🏼👊🏼
thanks for the review
Peace be upon you, brother. I want to buy the Joker Domit. Where can I buy it, please, brother?
Ebay

Smart!

@@dangiambrone7350 seriously, getting that big box or just to swap accessories is such a hassle

Thank you my friend 🙏🏼👊🏼 hope you're doing great!
Fair point of view, I respect what you said…I can’t wait to get mine
👊🏼

Seems like a fair and reasonable take. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you my friend 🙏🏼👊🏼
Money grab! I'll stick to Hot Toys, but very raw, honest opinion bro just what I expected, great stuff man 👊
🙏🏼👊🏼

Yup! Way too much for a regular figure
🃏 Why so serious?! 🃏
😆
Awesome review and I do think Inart is going way to slow with releasing their upcoming figures.
Rooted is better, altho overpriced. But you can sell one of them at least. But really, with all you have there i doubt the price was a problem.
I think it will rise in value and these sculpted ones wont as much. The hair needed to be styled isnt much if an issue considering countless collectors have the ones like black widow(which i think look like ugly dolls personally. )
$700 for two figures of that quality is not too bad, compared to a Carnage that's over $500. 🤣
I would've paid $700 for carnage alone with absolutely no problem lol
Yea that to me is to much for me. Even ebay sellers that are ok shape want dx 11 2.0 600 dollars lol you won't get me but i hope hot toys do another heath ledger joker down the road. Inart just out of my price range
They will
Looks great 👍 congrats bro but looking forward to the new Joker from Hot Toys
