HOT TOYS DX 32 JOKER UNBOXING AND REVIEW. HEATH LEDGER THE DARK KNIGHT

[@eiadtarabulsi]

Hot Toys absolutely dominated Inart. There's no doubt about it. The Inart version looks pretty good, but it's nowhere near as good as the Hot Toys release. As nice as the DX11 was and still is, the DX32 is a significant improvement when compared to it. The head sculpt is a 100% accurate representation of actor Heath Ledger. God rest his soul. The portrait is phenomenal for sure. The outfit looks great. The overall sculpt, paint application, and details are top notch. The figure comes included with a lot of accessories as well. Solid work on the part of Hot Toys! They've knocked it out of the park with Bane and now The Joker. As much criticism as they've gotten at times for a lack of effort, there are instances when they absolutely deliver and this one of those times. The DX32 Joker is a stunning figure from every angle and in every single aspect. Congrats on getting this one! Thanks, Dean! I really appreciate it! God bless and stay safe!

[@JustinsCollection]

Damn Dean! They fooled me with the image on the front of the box! I could have sworn that was the figure! Just sitting down to watch the rest of your video now!

Best hot toy ever.. Figure of the year hands down

[@HD-fc4ds]

I usually dont like plastic hair, but they did great job with this one.

[@aj2982]

that's one of the best sculpted hair figures I've ever seen, the sculpted hair looks rooted at times

[@lukeryan1600]

We’ve been spoilt for fantastic reviews from yourself this year Dean. Every time I think I really want a dean review on a certain figure it pops up. Amazing piece.

[@raymad8106]

Great Review. When you first got it out of the box and you said in was sculpted hair, i had to double take as it didn't look like it. I haven't bought a Hot Toys piece in years. Mainly a statue collector( but they are getting ridiculous in price after you factor good old Customs), but this could well be the first one. Incredible work by Hot Toys. Congrats on the review and all you honest opinions. Thanks

[@somersfamily]

I agree it's definitely Heath Ledger. I saw some guy writing comments like every page saying that it looks nothing like Ledger 😂. Can't wait until I get mine in, and i agree with everything you said. My boy killed it in this video ❤

[@Bearedd]

He’s coping, and probably has the inart version to help him feel better about his purchase

[@danujevic5162]

Work of art! Miles away from inart

[@AustinVirden]

I’m so glad I paid this off. Dare I say it: this is not only the best 1/6 official sculpted Joker figure but it is in my opinion the best sculpted hot toy in general. This is it for me. Now if they’ll give us an updated DX Batman with all the latest updates I’ll be happy. Don’t wanna buy the armory just to only display the Batman figure.

[@somersfamily]

I've watched this over 20 times now. You have the best review out of anyone else. This makes me so so much exciting for mine to come. I kind of went overboard and got all 3 😂. But look, im a huge trilogy fan, and i love ledger. Now, if we can only get a 2.0 demon batman, that scarecrow that's coming, Ra's, maybe? , a correct batman begins figure, a 3.0 bank robber joker, a 2.0 cop version, a nurse joker, and a few others on my mind. It sucks that the one im really missing is gordon, and the list goes on. Have a good day, dean.

[@deanknight333]

Thanks very much! I appreciate the support 🤜🤛 and big Congratulations 🎊 👏

[@anthonyleonard285]

Greatest joker figure ever. Amazing figure....you inspired me to pick this up .....just amazing ...the sculpt is the greatest I've ever seen. Made me go back and re appreciate heaths performance. Heath and mr Phoenix bith blessed the worlds with mind blowing performances of such a amazing character....so different yet but equally true and somehow both 100% pure to what joker is as a character.

[@JurassicProductions228]

Dean too goated as usual! good job my friend!

[@jjconroy_]

Great review man this figure looks fantastic truly is stunning definitely a must have can't wait to get it . Great job showing the figure look forward to more you do on this guy !

[@Nailyboy1970]

They have done a great job.

[@prostishinobi6481]

It’s wild how some collectors and content creators say that the likeness is not there💀, I understand everyone has an opinion, but sometimes it’s just pure blindness. Incredible figure!!🔥🔥 Incredible review Dean.🔥🤘🏼

[@Keepinitreel108]

Neve had a Leger Joker but from what I'm seeing here this one of Hot Toys's best figures ever and I'm only 7 minutes into the video. I kinda wish I had it just to appreciate the artistry whenever I look at it. Congrats Deano! 🙂🍻

[@Keepinitreel108]

I caved bro, just pre ordered it! 😅

[@RB_toys]

This is definitely better than the inart version I agree dean some people will be upset!! But its true awesome review dean like always!!! Congratulations on picking up this increadable joker figure best out at the moment

[@nicoolio_gp]

I’ve never owned a 1/6th Heath Joker before this one, and I’m not being hyperbolic when I say this… But in my 10 years of collecting, this is genuinely the best figure from Hot Toys that I’ve ever seen. The game has been upgraded, and I’m astonished by the leaps in artistry that have been made across the board.

[@TeoCRO]

You just sold this figure to me. Preordered it right after watching this review. 😁

[@malekith8447]

Same😂

[@RedBoy1]

Where?

[@TeoCRO]

@@RedBoy1 I got it from Myth factory. But it's sold out there.

[@RedBoy1]

@ thanks, I think I should go with Artisan version then 🧐 if I would have to pay extra for it already

[@Rob1966x]

Increible figura, like

[@stevea8099]

Absolutely awesome figure and a great unboxing video. Thanks Dean!

[@8474Starscream]

This looks brilliant. I still have a place for the InArt version, but this will also be incorporated. The sculpted version is the way will never bust out a 1/6 comb and hair dryer lol. Awesome content and congrats Dean!

[@SupermanKalEl7828]

Hi Dean! 🤣 Love that Joker!!! 😎👌🤡👍👍

[@gustavoariel8319]

Beautyfull figure ❤and head sculpt is AMAZING

[@goFigure623]

Another world class unboxing and review mate 🤜🏼🤛🏼 finally a definitive Heath Ledger Joker that will make me retire my DX11 2.0 for good 😂 Hot Toys are making a statement here to other manufacturers and the 1/6 world in general…a loud and clear statement. Can’t wait to get the rooted hair version in hand. As always take care of yourself and happy collecting👍🏻

[@RB_toys]

Watching the review now all in one sitting lol but so far omg this looks incredible wow!!!! It looks so look real I have to find a way to get this holy hell this thing looks Badass

[@myfastgti07]

30:19 Sad music kicks in. "If you already spent all the money on the Inart version" Inart sure got the suckerpunch from HotToys. It really sucks how much the Inart joker has tanked in price. Hot Toys is always watching behind the curtains and always ready to attack in the darkest hours of the night. I wouldn't be surprised if HotToys comes strong with a Henry Cavill SUPERMAN.

[@dfuzeNL]

Wasn't planning on getting this. I was satisfied with my DX11 with custom sculpt. But the final product blew me away! Hot Toys never captured Heath Ledger very well imo. The 1/4 actually is one of the worst. But thanks to Inart and JND Hot Toys stepped up their game. This is 100% Ledger! Ordered it last week haha. Guess I'm selling my DX11 ;) Thanks for this review Dean! Now I'm really excited!

[@starwarsfan24_35]

Which one did you order? Long time viewer btw, would love to see a collection update!😀

[@dfuzeNL]

@starwarsfan24_35 Thanks! I've ordered the sculpted hair version. Same reasons as Dean mentioned in this video. I haven't done a video in ages but I'm still collecting. I've downsized quite a bit but the fire is starting to burn again with these kind of releases. The wow factor is there again. Missed that the last couple of years. Everyone is stepping up their game because of all the competition. That's such a good thing!

[@starwarsfan24_35]

@@dfuzeNLFor sure! I am happy that Inart also pushes Hot Toys to improve their figures, I am still debating to get this sculpted or artisan, which is currently sold out everywhere. Or the Inart 2 pack would be an option also at the moment.

[@dfuzeNL]

@starwarsfan24_35 For some reason the Inart version never appealed to me. Don't like the sculpt at all. There are some things that are just not right. But this HT version man... it just looks so like Heath. I also love that you can see the teeth. Gives it so much more expression.

[@Keepinitreel108]

I miss your videos bro!

[@tinyartguy]

Love your honesty with your approach Dean. What a figure!

[@Wilddone1]

Preordered the other day 🔥🔥🔥

[@deadscene1]

best sculpted hair !

[@greatwhite2860]

Incredible review Dean. Really happy for you and your great purchase. Came so quickly to you. I think whatever people prefer, this, inart or jnd, you're going to own something amazing. Only you need to be happy. I've got both rooted inart and ordered this one now. Personally, I prefer the hot toys. Likeness, expression especially. Proportions (never thought I'd say that for hot toys) and the preferred diorama. This is my preferred one. Jnd will be interesting, but the best overall (money, sculpt, likeness, tailoring, extras, diorama, box, everything, all considered)..... The best overall, I think it's hot toys. Which has suprised me. Side note, not a fan of long sculpted hair (more toy like, hard floating pasta), but this is my best sculpted hair ever in 1/6. Is this the best hot toys figure ever..... Could well be.

[@BlackSnake1602]

Watching in chunks? Nevah!

[@mikelamacchia6297]

Thankyou for the video Dean , i always like your videos the best because of the photography and close ups etc .Also appreciate the sincere honesty with all your videos. If its crap you say so etc This figure is def in my opnion the best 1/6 Joker and the value for money far exceeds the Inart . Iam so glad i preordered it because I knew this will sell out fast .

[@jds4696]

Excellent review, Dean 😀

[@somersfamily]

And you are correct. The Blazer has a bluish gray color to it. You can clearly see it and behind the scenes footage when the Blazers and coats are hanging up on the Wardrobe line and I have a blazer from a custom place and that's the color they use is like a bluish Gray and I haven't completed my full Joker costume I'm still missing the Overcoat. Cuz no lie, just like he says in the movie, it's not cheap😂. I don't even want to tell you what I paid for the best, the shirt tie socks, suspenders, and pants😂. The only people I've seen get the color right or close were the daftoys outfit and the Queen Studios 1/4 scale statue i have. Im sure there's more, but that's with what i own

[@TheMagpie9]

I was really happy with my Inart but that head sculpt is superb and a definite upgrade. Might need to check out the rooted version.

[@dylanhicks-seriouslug768]

This looks great! I have the inart rooted hair 2 pack and the DX11 using the laughing head on that, so I don't feel the need to have a 4th Joker. Greta review Dean!

[@itsjustiz]

It’s beautiful 🥲

[@thestorm99]

Looks amazing. I can't wait to get mine. Don't know why I haven't received notice of its arrival and ship date, yet. I guess they don't ship them all at once.

[@pbookie41]

Ordered the sculpted hair too, still looks incredible. I was gonna sell my dx 11 but actually can fully display the laughing sculpt inside the interrogation room scene cause that sculpt is fire as well as the diorama.

[@brucesharklee3903]

Yup the jacket does look better looks like velvatine in film would love a company to chuck in a broken pool cue would that not be great 😊

[@mikeecko]

Yeah this is definitely a nice figure. I like the way they captured Heath Ledger almost perfectly. I just want to know why you didn't go for the artisan version? It's so well done. I knew her toys had to step up their game in order to compete with INART. I think they definitely got the head sculpt beat. Hot toys maybe the king again 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤯🤯😱😱😱 Great review brother

[@dangiambrone7350]

Price and availability would be my guess, that and Dean's very happy with his custom.

[@deadpoolredsuit4892]

That figure looks awesome! ..and what a base! I own the InArt Ledger Joker (sculpted hair) which i am 100% happy with. I guess if i wanted a real hair version, i could seek out the Hot Toys figure.

[@ricklittle1987]

Lol people saying Hot toys dominated inart . It's crazy to say that any of the two dominate each other there both 🔥. Hot toys still don't have the hair right though as far as the artisans go , I prefer Inarts sculpt , and I fell like they made him too tall , inart scales better with the dx19 batman

[@ShadyDBZ4]

Copium on full display here. 🥴

[@ryans6242]

Awesome review Dean I own the Inart Rooted and completely agree. I think some folks who own the Inart version might be in denial. The eyes look soo much better on this version. You can see how far Hot Toys have come with sculpted hair over the years

[@dangiambrone7350]

I have both the Artisan version of this and the rooted Inart figures. You're absolutely right about the eyes, the likeness, realism the way in which they're seated is far superior. Having said that, I struggle to pick a favourite. I suppose it's mostly to do with how you like your Jokers. Hot Toys has done a magnificent job of hiding Heath under his makeup and expression, much like Heath did on screen at times. Whereas with the purple-coated Inart, you arguably see more of Heath than the Joker.

[@jesusvalentin9422]

WoW don't need to say this is the one you see it image now inhand how much better ha, ha, now inart could show off and make and exra head sculpt to add to there joker if they wanted too and don't forget jnd but that head sculpt looks really good and the way that you cant push the head closer to his shoulders thats really cool i can't wait for my i got something i will be adding with him great job like always one more time WOW!

[@jermainehaslam5634]

Awesome review and I personally like the tongue option, he licked his lips a lot and was always twitching when he was threatening people with the knife.

[@bladerunner1b]

Hey Dean great review man. I'm right there with ya - been in the hobby a long time seen so many Ledger Jokers and got burnt out for awhile. Also really burnt out on TDK/R Batman suit tbh. Kind of surprised you didn't toss the Jaxon Batman you just did a review of next to him for a "what if" scenario. I think I will be displaying my shelf that way.

[@shmigol1814]

Great Review! Have you tried putting the DX11 laughing face on the figure? does it fit and look good? THANKS!

[@mikeecko]

After I keep watching the review, I was wondering what hot toys logic was? They give him the grenade rig and his makeup is of the mob scene but then they give you the street diorama base for the hitman scene. But it has the bat symbol that's lit up on fire like dark Knight rises 😳😳😬😬😬😱😱😱💯💯💯💯 did anybody else notice that?

[@deadpoolredsuit4892]

24:14 'when i move..' - You planning on moving house Dean? ..you got some boxing up to do there! ..i went through that in Halloween 2023. My stuff is still boxed up, as i have a ton of decorating to do. I am getting there, S_l_o_w_l_y_ ^_^

[@aj2982]

hot take but I think this hot toys sculpted is more realistic than the in art rooted

[@michaelcortez9623]

Oh, that’s 100% denial it’s for collectors who already bought the DX 11 and below I had the DX 11 wasn’t really happy with it then but it was nicely tailored and put together didn’t last on my collection. I knew this was gonna happen but yet again, my man, you made me pull the trigger on another one.

[@Yorved23]

so much better than Inart. Beautiful!

[@alexanderavila6548]

Love the video! What kind of camera do you shoot with? Do you have a separate lens? Those close ups look amazing!

[@miraclethehousekid9339]

Great review Dean. Looks good just not convinced as he looks a little bulky to be Heath

[@dangiambrone7350]

It's turned out great. Your custom wins in the hair style, and hairline departments. I prefer the likeness and expression on the Hot Toys, I think it's mostly to do with the eyes. They're both excellent, just different which is how I feel about the Inart and Hot Toys portraits. As for the paint apps I tend to flit between the two - sometimes I prefer the messy makeup look, others the freshly applied. Where the Hot Toys really stands out to me, in a good way, is the head to body proportions, and the posture, something which even the very best customs often struggle with. Let's see if JND can top this. Their prototype looks the most realistic and detailed, but I'm not all that keen on its expression and likeness. Whatever happens, this sculpted edition is the pound-for-pound champ, by some distance.

I'm bored of all these "celebrity" 1/6 figures, no offense to Heath. I really hope Hot Toys starts doing more comic figures like the Dark Knight Returns. Celebs are just people like all of us and a lot of them are politically insane. I'd prefer to buy more comic 1/6 so I hope Hot Toys gets on it. Would love a BTAS 1/6 comic figure from Hot Toys next

[@Snavels]

@@ShadyDBZ4 it's so so, I'm not really a Inart dick rider, but there are still things Inart is better at. While the new Joker is a step forward, there are still certain individual things the old Inart still did better (hairline, expression, body). Not everything has to be a competition, and I think you'll be a much happier person when you realize this.
