Nothing better than an honest review by a highly respected youtuber/collector. 💪 I agree with everything you stated.

[@NicaVadeR]

Finally some justice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 people try to say this is “Really Good” just to justify their purchase

[@thedetectivecollection]

So many people in the collecting community seem to be in denial about this piece… every photo and video I’ve seen has just been very bad in my opinion. A piece can’t photograph that badly. People don’t want to admit they spent so much money on a bad piece.

yea .. agreed .. and my opinion .. Prime 1 prices are way too high ...especially in last year .. they go sky high ..

[@kalobhunt9001]

How weird to choose 1 dollar bills.

[@majedd7970]

I wish you had mentioned that this was made by Blitzway in collaboration with Prime 1. It was Blitzways team that worked on it. Prime 1 are the ones who sold it. The portraits and hands are made of PVC. That’s how Blitzway makes their pieces. Prime 1 would’ve used translucent resin, which they use on all their statues. I’m definitely not taking the blame away from P1. But I felt it was important to mention that Blitzway share more of the blame.

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

P1 is the people who took peoples money. So I think that’s where the blame and responsibility fall.

[@majedd7970]

@@TheXtremeChannelMrX Well, yes, but it was still Blitzway's team that made the product and may have had final say, don't quote me on that. And Blitzway also made money off of people. If this was just P1 you would've gotten different quality, no doubt. It may have been a licensing issue and a collaboration was the way around it. I'm just speculating.

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

@@majedd7970 my point is collectors didn’t give $1 to blitzway. The paid prime 1. If I am selling a product and work with another company, I can’t tell my buyers who paid me…. Not my fault. Company I worked with caused the issues

[@majedd7970]

@@TheXtremeChannelMrX Oh I understand. But Blitzway got a little bit of that dollar. P1 is at fault here too. I agree with everything you said. This statue put me off from picking any they make together. They both share equal blame. My point is that this is Blitzway quality. The statue was made by them. In their own way. But yes, Prime 1 is also at fault for approving and releasing it but Blitzway is at fault for the way the final result is.

[@casavictoriano]

Prime 1 blocked me for giving critics in the comment section. I'm glad someone that is highly respected voice out the cons.

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

Nobody likes critiques, but as long as it’s not personal attacks, it’s petty IMO to block someone over it

[@brettaccardo6940]

Love Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker! His acting is fantastic. But, like Deadpool's comparison of "Do you wanna build a snowman" to "Papa, can you hear me?". I always compare this facial design to an Italian Flag version of "The Crow"! Not that there's anything wrong with that! GOD Bless You and the X-Fam Brother!

[@purestewage]

There are so many versions of the joker, including inart now, that absolutely crush this piece. That HS is not worth 1500 bucks lol

[@D3cadent1]

Horrible. Been saying this since the first in-hand pics. Cheers for the honest review; people praising this are absolutely full of shit.

[@CarlosMoralesPaco]

Amazing review and hilarious too 🤣

[@scottballard6268]

I completely agree with mister x. and the portraits, the most important part, are way off. the smiling one is super funky. he looks all sheepish like he's hoping batman doesnt beat his ass, and the 300 dollar extra portrait has zero expression, which does not fit the character at all. the joker had so many great expressions in the movie and they couldnt find one to model the second portrait after? wtf. this is probably the worst case ive seen of a statue that does not live up to the prototype what so ever. i wont even get started about the pose........lol

[@halfdrawnpe]

Have to agree. I feel this was a miss. The pose is awkward and the head sculpts are just alright. It's a shame because the character is great and there's a lot of possibilities to improve this.

[@krzykoopa]

Dam with so many options it makes the shortcomings stand out more

[@matturibe7858]

So many people were backing this crap and I hated it right off the bat. I had the same issues when I saw in hand pics. But yet pple think this is a good statue. Just shockingly bad.

[@Dark_Hells]

If you take only the additional bust for this statue is just the better version of Heath Ledger today and for me JND Version is the worst version, first the price point at $2,500 doesn't match with the quality given. The museum pose statue is a really weird design. The cheap plastic weapons should have been resin or diecast material. Speaking of which, the JND Catwoman piece also suffered the same issue with the Batman Cowl being a plastic piece, super duper lightweight and it doesn't feel premium at all. For that kind of money they demand for their products, they should have given a proper thought into using what materials for the switchouts. It's not even PVC, it is cheap plastic and they are so easily breakable. For the portrait, I don't really see much of Heath Ledger in it, I would say it's about 65-70% accuracy imo. JND needs to improve their production QC and choice of materials before charging their products so high. I do praise their effort in making hyper-real faces for their other products, and the silicone material does bring out certain actors likeness. But unfortunately, for this Joker, does not represent it. Personally, it's 6/10 score.

[@oliverlumbi6293]

Excellent review

[@Mooste]

I like the little bust more than the actual piece.

[@AlexApproBAT]

I haven't been a fan of this piece, but I thought it was due to all of the cloth or maybe I was just burnt out on Heath Joker collectibles. Your pros and cons for this piece pretty much match mine.

[@gothamgoon4237]

One word, Blitzway. Prime 1 you can be sure will be a winner but when they partner in with Blitzway it seems to become a disaster. The same happened to their Linda Carter WW statue, looks nothing like it did in the artist prototype. It's also why I'm extremely hesitant to put money down on their new Michelle Pfieffer Catwoman Blitzway collab. I held out getting this Heath Ledger one because I wasn't sold on his looks but was very close to pulling the pin on this grenade. Thankfully I didn't. It seems to me Blitzway isn't up to Prime 1's standard so if you see one go up for PO with a Blitzway collab I'd hold out for in hand reviews first.

[@TheXtremeChannelMrX]

Yep. This reason alone I’m not grabbing the cat woman although it looks good

[@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050]

Mr. X your reviews are probably the most legitimate in the starue collecting community. I listen to you and the Batman Statue collector mostly because you really do know what you're talking about. I was disappointed when I saw what the final production pieces of this statue looked like, and to cope I ordered the standalone bust hoping to kitbash the two together and make something worth displaying on the shelf. In retrospect, I'd rather put that 2 grand towards a JND statue instead. It's a better investment for me. Thanks for sharing this great review 😎👍

[@adamhaught9667]

The one face looks ok. I kind of like the concept

[@SeanZherdev]

The bust sculpt makes this statue somewhat tolerable. But the original is like a bad joke. I feel like all the people who praise that sculpt and this statue are in on it.

[@Siile_]

Anyone who would think the portraits on this are great needs to look up the incredible custom painted version by Jacob Rahmier, it reveals how amazing the sculpt is, but it was completely ruined by the factory paint app

[@matthewmears5710]

the bills always annoyed me with this piece should of been 100's or at least 20's.

[@Warwick77]

I never did get the pose on this either, what the hell is he doing? Looks like a drunk about to lean on a bar top that aint there.

[@ryanj.wheeler3295]

I feel this piece is fine and on par with, if not better than, their other Dark Knight 1/3 works. However the price was certainly not! And the extra bust/portrait was obviously a planned, milking con to add insult to injury. If it was cheaper in one way or another this would be another respectable piece.

[@JasonVoorhees6661]

My transformers dotm Optimus and rotf megatron magnates stopped working for the weapons so I sold both, so prime 1 does have its hits and misses a shame really. Will be fascinated how their jungle hunter comes out

[@thecomicreadern4344]

There has lot of praising this piece by influential people in the community that even those who own it looked with surprise at this mediocre statue,and honestly I wouldn't purchase any P1/Blitzway stuff,it is such a bait and switch with them,disappointed with all their statues with use of plastic,mixed media and a ton of money being charged for it

Yep. I have the Black Adam on order, but I think that’s the only collab I will get moving forward

[@Mr49r1681]

I may or not get this Prime 1 Joker despite his awkward stance leaning handing his joker card to Gambino’s group therapy session scene. Strange why the head portrait doesn’t match well to his demo pics. Great session review X! Sorry, haven’t chimed in much while fighting COVID. 🃏😷

Hope you’re okay!

[@Pneuma462.]

I purchased this back In June as my joker for my collection and my first 1/3 scale piece, I collect 1/4 scale Batman pieces, I love it, yes the face could be better but how I have it displayed it looks great...but have been debating to sell it and get the grim knight Batman

[@damn5987]

This looks huge. Is it typical Prime 1 1/3 scaling, closer to 1/2.5?

[@moneywastedcollecting]

It does kind of look like just some random stuff all thrown together. It's cool because it's the Joker but I see what you mean. I always feel like when you are paying that much for these products, the lighting features should all be wired in and a USB at a minimum vs battery.

So many versions of the Heath Ledger joker have been made that I'm starting to lose track. Same with Gal Gadot WW. These companies keep incorporating pvc and mixed media into these things to the point that they aren't statues anymore.

[@mitchellcrumbles26]

At first, I was hyped on this piece then after the pictures, I decided to cancel and purchase the bust instead. Thanks for your review. Regardless of lighting, this is $1500.00 that has multiple issues.

[@CaBdosdos]

I always said that this statue was too much junk thrown on the base. The pose is awkward and I don't like the off angle base. Also resell is really bad because there's simply too many Ledger Jokers out there.

[@disturbedfan0717]

The first portrait with the weird smile looks like a good comic con cosplayer, which is pretty egregious for a 1500 piece, at that price it should look like our boy Heath.

To be fair, Sideshow have been pulling similar stunts for years, resulting in hit'n'miss pieces, all depending on what factory makes what piece.
