Action Figure Joaquin Phoenix "JOKER" Speculation Thread

[Wor-Gar]

Huh... neither of those sculpts look much like Joachim... but the size on the Mtoys looks better scaled in that one picture.

But then Mtoys has that too-long jacket, long vest, and incorrect color shirt with the awkward turtleneck collar. Also, is the right arm longer than the left on the Mtoys?

I can't wait to see both these figures properly futzed.

This is the Mtoys Head on the Toys Era Body, and you can really see how full this body is...maybe this is him after shooting the movie and he started eating again lol

 

[ebag27]

i dunno Mtoys did a fantastic job if you ask me

here is a jacket you shot
shots

There are pluses and minuses on both sides. I was always under the impression I would have to piece together a Joker. Are all these pictures flattering? Hell no. I already see things I like from both of these and those to come. It all boils down to how much I want to spend.

I gotta say i'm liking that MToys version a lot more...

My excitement for ToysEra is now dampened again

 

[matrix69]

Any ideas on which body would be the most suitable?

I'll probably use a BCS Dr who body again as it worked great for the skinny Arthur Fleck...it's a tad shorter too than the regular narrow shoulder KO.

I wish i had waited now...and just cobbled together the best bits from all the different releases...

I'll post proper pics when I receive my MToys.

Yeah I think the MToys captures his gaunt look in the movie a bit better, but I'd probably still give the Toysera a slight edge overall.

My friend recieved the Toys Era Comedian today and I posted the pics he sent me on facebook, poorly accepted but not the figure itself, people think he intentionally made them look bad sigh.... so there are two sets of pics. Anyway here is what he sent, he gave the suit to another friend who does tailoring because it was too baggy to his liking and the collar didn't stay down, he'll also likely try to find someone to repaint the sculpts, overall he regrets the purchase but says the accessories are nice, the suit has nice tailoring it's just too big and the sculpts look ok but are ruined by the paint.

Those close-up photos are brutally horrible, R_R_X.

How does it look in a full figure, non-macro shot?

How about just some nice pictures of the Mtoys figure on its own, futzed?

You mean the photos themselves or the sculpts, my friend ins't a professional photographer sadly haha
No, he picked this up at the post office and dropped by his friend to give him the clothes, he said they were way too big on him and that the porportions look better when he isn't wearing them but the head is still a bit small compared to other ones as you can see in the pics.
He thinks that the 3 sculpts were the main selling point and they did a bad job painting them.

Clearly a rushed job. Too bad. Makes this clown sad.

I'm curious how it looks from afar, because the videos of the figure all made it look pretty good. I know a lot of figures (other than HT) don't look too good in macro shots.

The only head I care about is the smiling head, and it looks to have come out the best of the three. I have no interest in the Arthur Fleck head and if I ever did, I haven't seen one that truly captures Phoenix yet... except the CREG custom head. That one is great!

Anyway, I never expected HT level on this, and just wanted this silly happy clown on my shelf doing his leg-kick. I hope the imperfections will be somewhat hidden once he is just kickin' it on my desk.

That said, I haven't paid for the ToysEra yet... I could still get out. But then, what do I buy instead?

I think the Mtoys head looks a bit pinheaded also. I think the TOP Arthur regular sculpt is better than either of those without makeup.

I agree, as I said before mass producing this in two months was a bad idea, I don't even think they had a reason to considering out of all the competition their version looked the best.

From what I've seen and been told the suit makes his head look small, here is a video going around, he says it is really good in it, guy sounds like he's from my country too haha:

I agree CREG has by far the best sculpts oh how I would love to see them mass produced but I know he has to make a living, maybe one day someone makes one like it or even better!

I say go for it, the figure has great potential for customization, especially the smiling sculpt, it needs a repaint, body mod and some clothing changes and it should come out amazing but for collectors in general and people who don't mod their figures it's a letdown for sure.

Head size doesn't look too bad next to Dr Strange. The RDJ heads always seem a bit oversized to me so that disparity doesn't bother me.

If anyone is looking for a decent painter check out onesixthvisage on Instagram. He will be painting my set once I get it.
