The proto is far superior to this, the only thing this has going for it is the real shirt and tie.
then don't buy it - is not everyone that can afford a 5k bust - and in all honesty, i don't think the proto is better - the paint job that Bobby did on the proto above was just to show the colors - is not even a real pro paint job

i don't think the paint job is that bad - i can guarantee many of you have pieces that are way worse than that right now in your homes

i have seen some horrible painted and casted pieces that looks like garden ornaments in some collections here and people seems pretty happy -

if you don't like it - don't buy it - to me it's worth the effort - for 300 bucks more I will have a nice 1/1 Joker in my collection

the likeness is there just like the original - that's what matters to me

Dude I think you're blind if you think this paint job is better then Bobbys.

And you're missing the whole point completely, we as a consumer shouldn't have to fork out additional money out of our own pocket to sort out the paint job.

Here's bobs superior proto pics below:







Do you still think HCGs paint app is better then this?

I was referring to the pictures posted - "dude" - it showed an unfinished proto

but for me and obviously other ppl - the likeness is there and a new pj is worth all the effort

go out and buy a unpainted 1/1 joker cast in the kit marketing and you should spend close to 500 bucks - and the likeness is not even that nice or come with the tie and shirt - so to me is not that big of a deal - i will buy and repaint it and make it great

don't get me wrong - i think they should have painted better - but as a joker fan i don't see any better option in this price range

Well obviously you haven't done your research on this bust then.

Of course the likeness is there, I'm not complaining about that. I'm just complaining about the paint app.

Totally agree with you. With Bobbys sculpts the likeness will always be there. Its up to HCG to decide how to defacate on it with the paint.

I have only bought 1 thing from HCG and it was the Predator 2 cutting disc. The sculpt was fine and the paint was fine but what aggravated me is they went this far making a good product why didn't they put the gauntlet on his arm like it is suppose to be to make it perfect and accurate, without it it looks so weird and bare. Ok back to the Joker
