If you want a Bolland Joker with all of the face showing, there is a B&W statue
Because it would make for a good regular 1/6 Joker with his face showing, something to replace the plain looking DC Icons Joker.

The B & W is cool, but I sold the 3 or 4 B & W's I had a while ago.

Awesome piece but too expensive now. But I am getting the Joker Mezco, which is basically the 6" version of that.

Ah well. Missed out on the first one, and this second version does absolutely nothing for me...

Can anybody tell me if these two are the same height. I think DC Collectibles measures their height with the base. On the other hand, I think Kotobukiya measures their height without the base.

And which one do you think goes better with the DC Designer Series Batman by Andy Kubert? The DC Collectibles version?

DC DESIGNER SERIES: THE JOKER BY BRIAN BOLLAND STATUE
Designed by BRIAN BOLLAND
Sculpted by DAVID GIRAUD
Straight from the Eisner Award-winning graphic novel BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, acclaimed artist Brian Bolland’s rendition of The Joker gets the Designer Series treatment! Bolland’s version of the Clown Prince of Crime is one of the most iconic, recognizable renditions of the character!
Limited Edition of 5,000
Measures Approximately 13.71” Tall
$150.00 US • On Sale JULY 2017
Allocations May Occur



KOTOBUKIYA KILLING JOKE JOKER STATUE
The Joker -Killing Joke- 2nd Edition stands 12 inches tall (1/6th scale) on his special updated display base featuring the Red Hood costume. The Joker is an incredible statue capturing one of the most famous graphic novels of all time, and he’ll look great on display or alongside other DC Comics-inspired statues from Kotobukiya like the Batman Black Costume version.

On the Kotobukiya site, it says the statue is 12 inchs tall.

i doubt if kotos joker, the statue itself, is 12 inches. more likely 11 inches tops.

That's why I quoted Kotobukiya's description:

"The Joker -Killing Joke- 2nd Edition stands 12 inches tall (1/6th scale) on his special updated display base"

The way I read it ...it sounds like the statue is 12 inches. I was hoping the owners of the 1st edition could chime in and let us know if this is actually 12 inches without the base.

I like the look of the DC Designer version, but there is no way that DCs production pieces will come out looking like that. DC can't come close to Koto's quality.

That's part of the reason why I'm comparing the two. If they are the same height then maybe it's ok to get the Kotobukiya version. I've always liked Kotobukiya's paint apps.
