THE JOKER by Weta Workshop 1:4 scale

This arrived today, and as far as i can tell, it looks just like the prototype.

I chose to display the Joker holding the crowbar in one hand and a Joker Card in the other hand.
Other options include switching the Joker Card out for a Batman cowl, and swapping out the crowbar for a rifle.

In person his outfit looks light grey, with lots of weathering done to a high dreamy/nightmare level.
Too much light was entering the room when i took the above shots, making the Jokers out look white.

The Joker's hair is slightly flexible, as are the waist ties on the rear of the white outfit.
The yellow gloves turned out nice. Painted with yellow gloss to give the impression of rubber.

Over all i am very happy with the piece. Weta pieces have a certain uniqueness going for them.

If i was to be hyper picky:
1. The large round shiny black section of the base seems unnecessary. Adding both weight and size.
2. The yellow road markings look sloppy.
3. The gold bullet cases on the base, some of them feature gold paint bleed onto the base (noticeable only when looking close up)

I wanted a Jared Leto Joker in the collection, as was never sold on any of the purple coat (Suicide Squad) pieces that came out.
The Joker by Weta will never be made (officially) by any other company apparently. This version is the only option, and what a great option!

He looks great! I'm even more tempted now.

Do you have any other 1/4 statues for comparison in size? I saw some pics of him the other day on Facebook and he appeared quite small compared to others.

That would be good. I can't risk doing that myself.

The Weta Workshop sculptor who's name i cannot recall right now really captured the moment. The sculptor clay sculpted most of the piece.

Edition size only 600. The price has increased, as Weta offered an lower pre_order deal.
I cannot work out how Weta managed the low shipping cost ?14.00 ($17.00USD)
Compared to Sideshow charging $116.00 to ship Power Girl which ships in a smaller lighter box?

I do have comparison pieces but they are boxed up (moving house this year)
Joker is about the same size as a typical Sideshow 1/4 scale piece. I would say the Joker head sculpt is larger than the The Suicide Squad Harley Quinn head sculpt by Sideshow

This is the pic that gave me concern. The owner said the size is off because of how the picture was taken but I struggle to see how:
