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.

Nice comparison...if you were new to the hobby you'd be hard pressed to know which one was new and which one was made nearly ten years ago.
The more i see of the HT head sculpt the more disappointing it looks...the coat isn't very well executed either...besides the color being inaccurate the lapels are way too big...shoes too are over scaled and too light in color...as are the laces.

I think the Enterbay (while still a great figure) is definitely showing its age. It's a shame they aren't doing a 2.0 for Joker and Bats as I am sure it would blow HT out of the water. I would love to see them do a TDK suit Batman too.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Enterbay doesn't even have the license anymore.
 
Yeah, they lost it a couple years back. That's how Hot Toys was able to make this 1/4th scale Joker.
 
No worries, Tim.

Epic shot. I presume that's a custom 1/4 diorama. I wonder if there are 1/4 tables around lol

But yeah I wanna pose the Joker next to the QS BM RIGHT NOW

Awesome pic. My QS001 is waiting impatiently too. Great figure. I wish I had the exclusive empty cowl.

The cowl is great, it makes me want to get a 1/1 replica lol
 
Fresh off the box, and the collar was already off. Deteriorated rusted magnet on one collar, pristine intact silver magnet on the other. Hoping SS sends a new one.
