Hot Toys Romero Joker at the 200% Batman event in Japan

Joker actually looks sinister, and the Batman and Batcave pic is very cool.

Question, what makes a made in China factory action figure (with probably less than $5.00 invested into making it - including labor) worth $250.00 ?

Is there any other reason other than "this is the maximum an avid collector will pay" ?

I just don't get the logic behind the crazy high prices ---

When I first saw the Hot Toys Batman & Robin, my jaw dropped.
Those figures actually looked like Adam & Burt in the photos that I first saw.
I'm just not getting that same feeling with this Joker figure.
I mean, it's cool and all but I'm just not as blown away as I was with the Batman & Robin figs.

I have to agree. Maybe it's just the pics (and I hate judging on pics alone), but in those shots above, it almost looks like a hybrid of Romero and Nicholson's Joker.

I think the lighting from underneath isn't really helping, but here's a rough comparison of both the Tweeterhead and Hot Toys prototypes:



At the end of the day, it's just amazing there's a possibility this will exist. And I will buy it. But the Tweeterhead is the same scale, and I can hear Romero's laughter when I look at it.

I think that the side view shots look more like Romero that the front views do.
The thing is, I don't want to be a Wet Blanket with this.
No One wants this to be a success more than me but I can't help it, it just looks off.

Looks much better there for sure!

They can't get the suit color right either. Maybe DC is calling the shots as far as coloring goes.

You need a new monitor...

Wouldn't it be funny after all these years we just found out that Joe is really color blind?
