For me it's 5 years too late from both companies, me and lot of other collectors already have this Joker represented in the collection from various bits and makers, which was also fun to build it until I personally were happy with it.
Didnt know about this yet! id definitely go with the sculpted hair, but interesting they didn't do finer detail even on the top part of the hair sculpt. although Leto joker didn't have long hair the sculpting on his hair was very very fine up close.
For what it's worth, the license and promotional materials for this figure reference "Joker: Folie à Deux", so I don't know if this scene represents a flashback that will appear in the upcoming movie. If that is the case, Hot Toys wouldn't actually be 5 years late in producing this figure as it would be from the new movie, and could possibly explain some of the differences in the costume or continuity from the 2019 film 🤷
Cant deny it looks very nice love the diorama you get but dont feel like i need it right away as i have a decent third party one maybe there too late on this one !
For the price of an Inart I purchased a 1/4 scale statue for the same price. Pre-ordered the Artisan Joker instead of Inarts because I do have the inart DK JOKER and it was a total disappointment in comparison to their prototype just like their Aragon same thing the prototype looks way better than production pieces
What took Hot Toys sooooo long? Easy pass for me, as i have the InArt 2 pack on pre_order. I think the InArt likeness looks better than the Hot Toys likeness. I do like the Hot Toys base/backdrop design. I wonder if Hot Toys will show interest in Joker 2, as i would like to see a Lady Gaga Harley figure.
The Inart protoypes (at least a 9/10) look much better to my eyes. While this looks decent (7.5/10), it doesn't have the depth, detail and realism that the Inart version(s) offers. While the sculpt looks very good, the paint apps for the hair and skin tones give it a cheap third party appearance. It doesn't hit the high standards that we're seeing with the Hot Toys Artisan Black Widow, which looks stunning, potentially the best likeness (not just the face and hair, but also the body shape) that Hot Toys has ever achieved, easily their best female portrait. Still, it's nice to have the option of picking up the sculpted version of this for circa £300, when the cheapest Inart option is approx £900-1000 for the double pack. That said, if the Artisan is going to cost £500+, once you're in that territory, wouldn't you be better off paying the extra to get two higher quality Inart figures?
This is underwhelming compared to the inart version, and I actually think the other third party versions which came out years ago are almost as good as this hot toys figure. In other words this release.is not triggering me to jump all over it as I already purchased the third parties years ago and they are awesome. This just is not that much better.
First thing I got to say is where is Joaquin Phoenix's scar above his upper lip? Because I don't see it on this sculpt, only in certain pictures you can actually make out that it's there 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ I have the inart Heath ledger Joker, and what I've said from the day I received that figure. In art is the new king in town. Now hot toys is trying to step up their game but unfortunately they have too many irons in the fire to do that. If they just slow down and tackled just a few figures at a time. Quality over quantity is what they could end up having again
Def getting this one from HT.
The artisan looks amazing and will be half the price of the inart win win.
I'm excited that Hot Toys is finally during their on version of the Joaquin Phoenix Joker.
I will definitely be picking this one up, Dean.
Love the diorama and love how collector's have options on which version they want to get!
Really glad they are doing this. I just can’t justify the Inart price. I am really wanting an inart, but man they are crazy expensive
For me it's 5 years too late from both companies, me and lot of other collectors already have this Joker represented in the collection from various bits and makers, which was also fun to build it until I personally were happy with it.
This is a must have for me
Love Both of those Joker Figures, Mate! 🤡🤡🤡👍👍
Didnt know about this yet! id definitely go with the sculpted hair, but interesting they didn't do finer detail even on the top part of the hair sculpt. although Leto joker didn't have long hair the sculpting on his hair was very very fine up close.
Feel like it should definitely come with at least 1 smiling or laughing expression interchangeable head.
Now I want the Battinson figure to put next to this
The inart one looks much better.
But for the price difference 😳
And it'll only cost you 4x the price. Glad I didn't buy the in art, would rather pick hot toys
I am getting this one, never pulled trigger for the InArt.
I definitely want to get one, and most likely as I have with most of my figures it will be from Hot Toys, but man that Inart one is really good.
Likeness goes to HT in my opinion
Apparently this is under the Joker 2 film licence even though it's from the first film
Completely agree
Will need to compare this to InArt
wow, interesting to see the final result, but i trust in hot toys, and the HS will be great!

Love the movie, this figure does not meet my standards.
The diorama is very cool.
The new Joker movie trailer comes out tomorrow so they are in time for the hype for Joker 2

I mean with the price difference..... is there really a competition? HT wins this one just for it's price

No man, the Inart Joker is $2500, Artisan Hot Toys is gonna run me $550. Absolutely not worth the extra 5%

The InArt looks the much better figure. Pricey though.
Mientras InArt no tenga el serio problema de escala de cabezas ( como la de batman) que terminó siendo un asco!
They used to be innovators in the hobby. Now it’s either marvel/Star Wars, or playing catch up and being late to the party.
Pass 😂
I would have liked the movie if it was not supposed to be the real joker we all know!!!!
I think the likeness on the Hot Toys version is way better than InArt's, but InArt has Hot Toys beat on everything else.

Really nice figure dean
Inart all the way superior great video awesome comparison love it. Get ready for the pleatheranyone on that chair.
I foresee a lot of people canceling their Inart/HotToys preorders after watching the new Joker 2 movie this weekend
Many people will pretend the sequel doesn't exist, lol. This is still the joker in this movie anyway
I think with all the 3rd party figures that came out which looked half decent there is a fatigue and we’re just not wow’d
