I agree the sculpt is missing the mark. I think a fair comparison would be comparing the Episode 4 Luke Skywalker to Mark Hamill. There is likeness here and there but not uncanny resemblance like some figures. However in some of the earlier posts in this thread someone referenced a figure or two that had upgrades made to the headsculpt from the first release proto version. My biggest gripe in the hair. Not about it not being rooted but, the hairline. Hopefully there will be some upgrades though. I decided to get this to go with the Begins 1/4 so I can have two HT 1/4 figures. I do not have the money to drop at the moment on the 2.0 Joker on eBay so it made this one a no brainer for me personally.

I like the way it looks and was never too keen on the Enterbay version (Love their Batman tho) I think everyone should be happy about this.
Hot Toys finally made one, the Enterbay version is going down in price, they will definitely change things about the figure in general before it releases. Besides if you don't like it or the EB version than just hold out. It's only a matter of time before the 1/4 Joker 2.0 is announced.

Awesome, glad you were able to find one. Now we just have to wait nearly a year. 
Riiiight. A 2.0 TDK bat suit Batman is inevitable as well. There is a reason they're avoiding anything for the interrogation room look with this Joker. Just like the DX figure they are starting with the Mob boss scene then will do the interrogation room look later. Classic Hot Toys/Apple mentality- never give them everything they wanted in the first release.

After Joker was annonced I got my hands on the QS001. It arrived today. Truly an amazing figure; I have no issues what so ever with it. Makes me even more excited for Joker and the Begins Batman.
Looks amazing!
I just hope they tweak the Joker a bit to give us a more definitive Joker figure. I know this is going to piss some people off, but I have the EB and it does resemble the Joker a lot more. Dont get me wrong though, I do have the HT preordered. I do love the half and half face sculpt

agreed, I love my Eb joker, but I wish HT will do a lot better than EB joker
They're probably tweaking the sculpt now.
The TDK batman included everything you could possible want so there's no need for a 2.0...

Thank you! It was so expensive but I have zero complaints with the figure. It's amazing. I really don't see why they would do a 2.0 because there's nothing to improve on. Everything you could possibly want is here. MAYBE a re-release but even that doesn't seem likely to me. Otherwise we would have gotten other figures like the DX11 produced more. These are limited edition collectibles for a reason.For me this is HT finest release from TDK trilogy..in any scale...congrats
Some are saying a 1/4 TDK Batman is inevitable but personally I think it's wishful thinking.
So did the first DX, but that didn't stop them doing a 2.0.
The first one was technically a Rises version, not a Dark Knight version. They've got to see the recent increased demand for the 1/4 Batman now and they'll want to cash in again. This is the original HT cash cow, they'll keep revisiting as long as it keeps making them money.

While they could make another 1/4 bats, the market isn't quite there yet for 1/4 scale.

The DX Batman though was for a litany of other reasons than re-release. The oly abs, cross eyed PERS, mis-aligned bat chestplates and deteriorating rubber suit, that DX02 was a hot mess. HT could re-release but I think they have Nolan Batman covered for the 1/4 now for a while. I'd rather see the PS T1 than anything else they have for re-release personally for the next quarter scale offering.
sadly, I believe this is the case too. at least the market isn't as big as 1/6 scale yet.
my biggest wish is that hot toys will make 1/4 scale bvs batfleck

I disagree, the fact this sold out and is still highly wanted means there's a market for it. The fact there's a TDK 1/4 Joker gives x100 more reason for there to be a market for them. The amount of people that will get 1/4 Joker and not have this Batman to go with it, let alone all the people that just flat out missed out on this Batman.
I think most people don't want a re-issue or a new version because they've spent a lot or like the fact that no one else can get it. I'd hope they do another, I'd like one. If anything I would imagine if they did it would be similar to them redoing Batman as the Batman Armoury version.

Don't quite understand what you mean.
I mean that they did the same body of the DKR Batman with a better head in the Batman Armoury version. They've done Bank Robber Joker and a 2.0, They've done two versions of the 1/6 Joker regular version,redoing Ben Affleck's Batman with Suicide Squad just with a new cape - reissuing and remaking a lot of the Iron Man armours...
What I'm saying is that yes, the 1/4 Batman came with items from the second, however, it's a DKR version. There's already a market for them making more, and with the release of the Joker there'll be even more so, and the fact that they can still say they've not done a DK version means they still have room to or to just flat out re-issue.
