Yea, but Adam's worst heath sculpt is better than everyone else's best heath sculpt. Its too bad his work gets valued like an Uber IPO. Can you imagine if he made scupts for Hot Toys, and we could buy his work for under $300. Hot damn, collecting would grow to a whole new level.

Hmmm im not so sure about that.
He is a super talented guy and I like this but Its not screaming buy me. The eyes are off. Left eye needs to shift over to the left some more and they are to high under the eye lid. High being the operative word. If i did get this, id have to add some routed hair like Adam often part did with his sculpts.
Im sure the final piece will be awesome tho.

They don't need to bend it just a little, the pose looks unnatural like Shoo said. It's weird, it's like he is leaning forward but instead of being hunched over he is up right, like a smooth criminal pose but from the waist up.
Really? I thought this was their first Human figure?
Their TFs sure do look like they came right out of the movie though.
Agreed, I don't think I have ever seen such a blank expression before.
It's not the worst sculpt as far as likeness goes, it's perhaps one of the best, the trouble is such a life-less sculpt because of the expression or lack of one, I should say.

No, they've shown proto of Batman in Arkham Knight, Batman Noel, Deathstroke has an unmasked face, Batgirl, Bane, and a few others including this Batman v Superman teaser.
What I'm basically saying is that everything they have shown so far looks like it came out of the screen, like their transformers and Ninja Turtles, and Arkham Knight.
So, with Adam Sculpting this, this would have been the favorite out of the bunch, and for me personally, its the weakest out of all the protos they've shown cause of that "bored" expression.
couldn't disagree more. Howard S and Bobby C both did great versions that i would take over this sculpt. Adam does great work and I've owned his work before, but it isn't leaps above everyone else

the likeness is still there, it's just the expression is the worst I've seen of the character.

Totally agree. Im fortunate to own Bobbys 1:1 joker and its just crazy how good that thing is. Howards is also pretty stunning and also Bob dullams joker is superb. Id love to see Adam do a 1:1 silicone joker tho. Would be pretty special no doubt.

Oh cool, thanks I have been out of the loop for a while, so I had no idea P1 was working on these things.
Yeah I agree.
What you say might be true but the majority of people seem to think Adam is actually leaps above everyone else, since so many collectors are willing to spend thousands on his 1/6th sculpts for their action figure. I have never seen any sculpt with that desire before, it's just crazy that people would pay so much for a tiny head for an action figure compared to spending the same amount on a life size bust, like Howard's for example.
Because doing those types of Joker expression's is risky. For instance, Sideshow nailed the Joker expression on their PF, but the majority of people think (myself included) that it looks nothing like him. Thus, in order to produce the sculpt with the best likeness, it is safer to stick with expressions that are basically neutral. However, the expression on this one is too neutral and boring as people have said.
Could you imagine the price for something silicone at that scale!

I hope we end up with the HIT me pose

They would have to change the make up look then, which I don't think they would do because I think they want this to be the Joker that appears to how he looks pretty much most of the time in the film (party crash make up).

Hopefully we will see the final stage, and he will be ready to order.

Better for sure, but still not feeling it. Was hoping for a m76 swap out too.
