It’s like Howard Chan at hot toys was like “hey remember in 2008’s dark knight where the joker killed Batman, stole his suit, and repainted it? Yeah me neither but let’s make a figure on it anyway.”
Very mind boggling indeed. The Maul looks like a straight piece of shit. 😂 Reminds me of the Black Series hologram figures. The Joker, while objectively cool, is a waste of resources in terms of the rooted sculpt. If they only made 3k of the first Artisan Joker, why not just use the rooted sculpts you’re using for this thing for MORE ARTISAN JOKERS. You said it yourself: If you missed out on the first Artisan, maybe you can get this, swap the heads and maybe make some of your money back selling it. Plus the fact that this figure’s proportions don’t match whatsoever. Smh 🤯
Hot toys, you guys can make so many other figures like Optical just said. Give us our Bespin Han for goodness sakes. If you still have the licenses, give us a Hellboy 2.0, Ron Pearlman give us a king Leonidas 2.0 we would love to have those figures. A lot of us have not collected those because they’re much older. Would be so cool to have an Abe Sapien in the collection and Liz as well. Thanks Optical 20.
Definitely passing on the holo Maul. Hasbro could probably do this for about $90. We need Padawan Obi-Wan, Battle Gear Pade, Jar Jar (gasp!!!), Senator Palpatine, Qui-Gon 2.0?
Totally agree with you. What is aggravating about releases likes this is that H.T wastes time and ressources that could be applied to well needed 2.0's or never seen before figures, that us collectors "need" and been asking, not like this that no one asked. WTF!

@@optical20 I wish they would make lord of the rings figures, I would definitely get a Saruman figure and display him with my count dooku figure as 2 iconic characters played by the late great sir Christopher Lee.
Hot toys Boss must have said: “ what are we gonna do with the left dx19 figures?” One genius employee must have replied: “ let’s make the Joker wearing the Batman suit repainted.” And the Boss said: “ This is it. That’s the best ideia, and we can squeeze the lemon out of dx19 and get some extra money.” 😅🤦🏻♂️ Why not nurse Joker or Alfred 2.0
I am not gonna lie, I like to think this is the talented creative division maybe flexing their talents..i won’t be getting any of these…but I respect them trying something new and different …
I think Hot Toys did too many Batman Dark Knight's bodies and they need it to get rid of all those massive unselled bodies. That's why they did also that horrible Batman Dark Knight gray and blue colors. That Batman with alternative colors was same body that we are watching with this new Joker.
I bought my Impostor Batman in the Philippinss and it flaked when I took it out of the box lol. We are being flooded with Heath Jokers lol. Hoping for a Nicholson Joker to pair with the upcoming Keaton Batman.
@@optical20 Yes I did. I'm not sure if I can. Got it like last year. Same thing happened to my Deadpool 2. It flaked once I took it out of the box. Got it from Filbar's as well. Oh well, lesson learned. I guess from now on, I will avoid buying old figures that have pleather from the Philippines due to the warmer climate.
The rooted hair looks better here than it did in the Artisan prototype shots, well at least the styling does. You're right in that it's still way too thick - outside of the customs, EVERYONE (especially Hot Toys, Inart and JND) just can't get the hair right.
Unfortunately they won't be doing a nurse Joker even after I contacted hot toys numerous times and emails over the years. They don't have the license for it for some reason

Lol, I will make this people..and you will love it.
Dude, this was a concept they did 8 years ago . Nothing new, just like the leto batman. But I guess everyone wants the same old figures 😂
I plan getting this joker just for the artisan hair so I can swap it with my regular jokers sculpted hair

Been waiting for them to release their Arkham Nightwing for years now and they come out with these instead lol
I’d get anything from the game any day before this.
The concept is cool but they reused that outdated 1.0 Hot Toys Darth Maul headsculpt.
Depending on the price, I hope that hologram isn’t so expensive.

Literally, Ill take a 2.0 than doing a concept that never worked before, and will never work again.

Skipping over my boy Scorch there Optical...for shame. XP
Lol, I felt like I be even him about a month ago with a diff helmet.
@@optical20 HAHAHAH! XP Yeah I know your not a clone man. I just am so confused by that Joker impostor.
Hot Toys are taking a few pages from the McFarlane playbook.

It’s like they’ve run out of ideas when they know there are some figures from other ips that they haven’t made.
Wtf totally agree bro. There are so many characters from so many lines that we haven’t even seen yet….
@@obiwansattic35 it’s like Howard Chan at hot toys was like “hey 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.”
I get repaints, they are trying to maximize the profitability of the mold that they have… but cmon this is getting ridiculous now.

Hard pass on all! I’m still waiting for Marvel 85 figures from HT. Seems like we can’t get those figures but they are saying to get ready, when??

You said the same thing in 3 other vids. We get it
@@somersfamily 😉👍🏻
We’re asking for years for Nurse Joker but this? It doesn’t make sense in Arkham series or the Darkknight universe.
Unfortunately they don't have the license for it from what I understand I've been asking for that for the last 10 years
This will turn out to be the most expensive Desk Lamp Ever... a real good looking lamp though ☺️
I wonder how much the price of this light up box is.
I can see the Darth Maul being for cosplayers.
I'm lost on the joker one, they need to retire the dark knight line.
It’s like they had loads of Batman bodies and joker heads left in the warehouse and thought 💭 I know let’s…
Lol, well how can we dispose them but getting money out of it hmmm.. Let’s put a number on it!

They should of just given us anakin like from Asoka show when she was training it was a hologram, but he still had a little bit of color
I’ll take that before this two.

Can you return them? Did you get it from Filbars? I checked Filbars and they were 5k not bad at all.

We definitely need Spiderman India or for them to actually fix black suit spiderman 2.0 kraven from the ps5 game.. literally anything..
Anything… but this.

Especially on the top part, the back looks amazing.
As a person who only collects Batman stuff, that Joker is trash. I always wish they would do more DC and this is what we get 🙄
Same here, not the DC that I wanted to see, heck I’d rather see aquaman from his last movie..
Holy yap session,stop complaining
@@BroncoBoys i dont think i will.
Yo!✌🏼🤦🏻♂️👍🏼Op20 This Batman Joker 🦇🃏 Ain’t Bronny James
👋🏾💩🏀 .😬💭 I’m In 🤣👍
This figure is absolutely amazing ❤ but truthfully, I wish it was a nurse joker
Unfortunately they won't be doing a nurse Joker even after I contacted hot toys numerous times and emails over the years. They don't have the license for it for some reason
@@somersfamily is it possible to contact hot toys about requests?
What annoys me Is the head is haired and painted better and it's a huge slap in the face to the artisan line. It's beyond ridiculous 🤦
The artisan Joker might actually use this headsculpt.. crossing fingers.
