This figure is fantastic!!! Just walking back into the room he has much presence and looks very good. The body is solid for good poses and designed very well. I left the stand in the box and used a 1:4 metal waist grabber stand I got from amazon. Can’t wait to get the accessories out and get some good pics up later.

Would you happen to have a link for that waist grabber?

I need to get one for when my Joker gets here. Dean Knight said in his review the crotch grabber is useless at holding him up.
 
Stand that comes with the joker can hold him up just have to push him further back. Have him on it in my case not worried about him falling. But yes a bigger crotch grabber would be better or the waist grabber.

This bad boy just arrived today. Not one sixth, of course, but worthy of a few photos here i hope.

I took some comparison shots with the Enterbay version.

Overall im a big fan of the new Hot Toys. The body is shorter, but this is more in scale with the QS001. The body is much better proportioned than the Enterbay, and the actual body itself is much better and high quality in terms of posability.

The clothing is very nice on both, but with the better proportions of the Hot Toys they look much better.

The head sculpt is... its a bit neutral. It resembles Ledger but unfortunately i don't think it nails it. It looks better from the front whereas the Enterbay has a better profile.

The shoes are cloth on the Hot Toys, sculpted on the Enterbay. I actually think the shirt pattern is a little nicer on the enterbay but haven't removed the coat to look closely.

The paint app on the Hot Toys is a bit cleaner whereas the Enterbay almost looks thicker, like real makeup applied.

Very nice photos and I agree with you with the comparison. Can’t wait to get mine. Hopefully sooner than later

My picture won't compare to everyone else's but I just thought I would contribute. So far I am very happy with the figure. There is a lot to complain about but he feels really well put together and this is the best 1/4 body ever made by far. For $550 (for the exclusive version) I really don't think you can complain to much when a 1/6 Ironman costs $345.

I agree with the body assessment. It is extremely posable and ratchets into position nicely.

Striking photos!!! :clap :clap :clap

In my opinion, what's throwing me off is the expression of the head sculpt, notably the eyes. I've acquired the DX11 head sculpts and I quite like the amount of expression from them, if they replicated that onto this QS it would've elevated the figure.

Needless to say, I'm stoked for this figure.
 
If they'd done a better job on the hair and provided a more expressive sculpt as the ex it would have been a great release. Still eager to get it in hand nonetheless.

I am surprised by the hair sculpt in hand. It's not nearly as bad as I was expecting from pictures. The sculpt detail and paintwork is actually pretty good on the hair. I would add that I prefer sculpted hair typically so fans of rooted may disagree.

I agree on sculpted hair for mass produced figures, yet to see rooted hair look good unless it's a custom.
 
The outfit is pretty damn nice. I won't even nitpick at it.

I am disappointed in the lack of paint detail on a couple of the guns. There is no gunmetal chipping/layering, just pretty much one tone black. Wish they included a couple shotgun shells.

The extra sculpt is not something I will ever use. It absolutely should have been something expressive like the laughing sculpt and it's a real shame the only option for the Joker character is a very neutral sculpt. I can't emphasize enough how much an alternate expressive sculpt would have elevated this release.

A comparison to the the DX11 Joker. If Hot Toys just took the DX11 sculpt and blew it up to 1/4 scale I'd be happier, but I'm still mildly satisfied with what we got.
