CLOWN PRINCE OF CRIME Joker Premium Format Statue Review! Sideshow Collectibles

[@DanielBel]

I`m so happy you like it man, great review =)

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you so much as always! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!!

[@jackhalsey242]

I also watched the unboxing and both times I’ve been amazed at all the small details, sculpted features, paint application, design choices, how the pose embodies the twisted nature of the Joker, the shadowing, the storytelling, etc. And with that, he was still priced on the lowest price range for a licensed 1/4 scale statue nowadays at $640. What an incredible job by everyone involved. So glad you have this one in your collection.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you, Daniel did an incredible job with this one. A lot of thought went into it.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

I think that’s the best Joker portrait ever, it looks incredible, the twisted face & pose, I’m just blown away by this statue, it’s just amazing. I think it’s my favourite DC statue. It’s the only DC statue that I would think about buying.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Daniel did a phenomenal job!!!

[@fabiansolorzano9929]

Awesome piece. I think that on the joker's clothes the weathering we call on his suit is actually blood stains like his gloves and crowbar, which makes it that much more of an insane joker.

[@superman12212012]

I received mine, and I have to say it is the best Joker I’ve ever seen. @Daniel Bel you never fail to amaze me with your work!! I love the paint with the left side of his face being darker. It fits the way he stands, hiding his face down trying to welcome the handshake. Great concept, wonderful paint job, and amazing sculpt. Congrats to everyone who is able to still pick it up. Nice review, Chris.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Congratulations on yours

[@purpleronnie10]

Can't wait to receive mine! What an awesome statue. Daniel delivers again

[@mikertist347]

As much as you love Batman, I actually think you are the JSC! You have a special enthusiasm for that character. Great review as always. Thanks JSC!

[@Italiano_Strawhat]

The paint on the portrait is a trip. I do like them playing with shadow and reflection a bit with the paint. When done well it adds another layer of visual interest.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Best Joker statue ever, I absolutely love everything about it, the pose, the portrait, the base, the paint & sculpt, everything is perfect. Wow, I just think it’s incredible.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

I do too, so twisted

[@lamontcranston6935]

Got mine the same day you did. This sculpt really grew on me the more I looked at it. The sculpt reminds me of Tim Sales take on the character. It pairs well with the premium format Harley running down the planks.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Great take on him!! Congrats on yours

[@mojopotato1715]

Love the creepiness and concept of this statue. Great job of going into detail about all the misdirection going on in it. And thanks for explaining the reason behind the paint shadowing on the portrait. I know this statue was getting a lot of hate for it.

[@malus911]

Be careful when you take the crowbar arm off. The magnet is strong and the bottom of the crowbar sits on the cape and could scratch it if you're not paying attention... Great statue.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks for the advice!!

[@stevenb3899]

I think it’s a great piece. Had the same reaction to the sculpt when I unboxed it, but it works once assembled. Glad to add him to my 1/4 Batman family. Now waiting on Penguin.

[@tintedshades5197]

Mine came today in the UK, its wicked and has insane presence, definitely my favorite now!

[@9daywonda]

I absolutely love the Joker as an artistic form. Caesar Romero was good but Jack Nicholson in the 1989 one was tops.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Love that Joker!!!

[@mrjsmadhouseofgaming8716]

Got mine too!!! And I freaking LOVE IT !!! 🃏🃏🃏

[@mitchgreeninsc]

Thanks Chris, I wouldn’t drop my Reis 1/3 for this, but it’s still a quality take.

[@rodristrongest]

Jorge Jiménez and Daniel Bel can do amazing pieces with the DC license

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Without question

[@AspenKaraZor-El]

Daniel Bel only delivers masterpieces. No doubt about it. I think that he designed this version to really capture the villain's crazyness. And to really be scary and frightning. Looking at this statue, he really captured this. You definitely don't want to meet this Joker in the night. I'm also glad to see the fine detailing/dirt/texturing on Joker's suit. This gives the work just a little more of that real feel. Judiging from the first pictures I felt that real fabric would also looked good on him, but indeed I liked the paint job on the suit. I also like the paint on the portrait. The portrait is intense and scary good. I can be wrong but this Joker does feel very Jim Lee to me. For me, I'm not a big fan of the base. The giant Joker head is too much for me. I do like the little extra details at the base. Overall I do like this piece. It has insane details, it's different and its a well done. An 600 ES for a Bell Joker seems not very high. I really hope that we get a new comic Bell Batman to add to this Joker, or maybe even a Jason Todd Robin.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Enjoyed your comment!!!

[@Dyon_Cole_QuietStorm]

Hey Chris, this one or bermejo one? I know the scale is diff but still. Which do you prefer?

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Bermejo

[@Noexcuses00]

NOTHING can compete with Lee Bermejo Joker. That is the definitive Joker.

[@BC-ni3sk]

The room progress fell off the feed! Chris's wife said no, she changed her mind.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

New update tomorrow

[@sims8717]

Very interesting I didn't realise that his foot was on a buzzer.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Pretty cool huh!!

[@glerink]

Awesome piece, I love mine way better than I thought it would be in person

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Agree 100%

[@aricliljegren890]

I love the Joker but feel like statues are getting too cluttered lately - more is not always better. IMO, the base is over done and distracts rather than complements the figure. I wish this base was an exclusive upgrade version (so I could get the regular base version). That said, I love the Joker himself.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

I think offering minimal bases are a great idea and would offer a lower price point.

[@able75dev60]

That base is very nice/clever and I like the pose and concept

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Lots of story telling with this one!!

[@jorgrtrujillo]

Chris iron studio has 1/3 Joker for 559.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Great price

[@moneywastedcollecting]

Love this piece! maybe I should throw my name on the waitlist.

[@johnnava21]

Great review, i think over time this joker will be highly sought after. In my opinion, best joker out to date with bremejo coming in second. The head sculpt definitely takes the prize...🤡

[@pishposh4506]

I want a joker statue with a base surrounded by bodies that have succumbed to laughing gas

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

That would be awesome actually

[@Dyon_Cole_QuietStorm]

With all the censorship lately, no guns, no dynamite, etc etc, I’m shocked they allowed so much blood on this piece

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Quite frankly I am as well

[@jorgrtrujillo]

Joker amazing statue. Chris statue 👍

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you

[@stephenmaximo4017]

I've never understood shading on a 3D object. On a drawing, sure, it makes sense. You're trying to convey three dimensions. Anyway, the statue isn't my cup of tea, but solid review.

[@lockout88]

Very cool

[@psi-judgesanderson6983]

Unfortunately I slept in on this and missed out. Gutted is an understatement 😭

[@BetrayYourSoul38]

love the portrait, LOVE THE PORTRAIT, statue otherwise...6.5.

[@jorgrtrujillo]

Chris batman return iron studio 389. Diaroma

[@Kaitschi]

Unfortunately this doesn't do it for me, never was a Fan of the the Portait and especially that Pose. Now seeing those strange Painting-Choices also makes it an easier Pass for me. SS is overdoing it with those painted Shadows and forced painted Lightning. It was ok on Black Canary, but it already looked weird on the latest Catwoman and here it's even worst. Still waiting for a good Comic-Joker 1/4-Scale. In 1/3-Scale they have nailed Joker nearly everytime (Iron Studios Ivan Reiss, P1 Arkham, Bermejo or Jimenez). The upcoming White Knight Joker from XM and Tweeterhead's Joker on Throne are the only really good 1/4-Scale Joker yet, but they doesn't fit with the other Batman-Rogues from Sideshow.

[@ipodgames1000]

its a nitpick but the skin color on his left wrist sticks out in a bad way imo

[@andreamarchetta160]

This Joker is so incredible!! I'm a huge fan of Daniel and his work is so inspiring for a newbie in digital sculpting like me. The statue is so rich of great detail and there's a lot of misdirection which is part of this character. And everything about this Joker is amazing! Btw awesome video as always 👍👍

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you so much for the kind words!!
