Agreed. Bases with the logos on them cheapen the bust. Someone mentioned that maybe they have to slap one on there for licensing reasons. I understand this, but then why not make it removable with magnets? Then the BUYER could decide how to display it and it would fulfill the licensing requirements.
Also don’t care for the ripped clothing.
But like you said...if they dial in this likeness it’ll be hard to pass up!

I agree, having it as a magnetic piece would be the best idea,
if they have to have it present like it is.
For this particular Joker, the ripped clothing seems like it fits in
to me, I prefer that to the coat draping on the shelf.
IMO, just a couple small tweaks to the head sculpt would be
sufficient. It is honestly 95% there as it sits. Way better than
their likeness on their Phoenix Joker Bust.

I'm guessing they'll wait to Wonderfest to show the new and improved version.

This is my most anticipated piece, and wow.....the likeness does not look improved upon at all. I'm hoping they just sent him the bust we saw at Wonderfest 2020, and that we'll see the improved version this week at one of their events. Because if this is what's going up for Pre-order, I'll be passing.

Wow, great video!!
He got their Wonder Woman bust super early too. I think since he's such a big YouTuber they must send one to him to pump up the interest.
Actually, I'm impressed. I'm not thrilled with the sculpt as some have mentioned, but the execution is terrific. The paint, eyes, hair...all excellent! I even like the base more than I thought. Like all silicone 1:1 busts, I'm sure this thing looks even better in person. Not sure if I'll pick this one up...but damn...bring on Bruce Lee!

I am almost 100% sure that is the original prototype that they had displayed a while back
that they sent him for a "review". He even said he is packing it up to send it back.
Big tip off is that he had to put the clothes on it, I am pretty sure the bust will be fully clothed
out of the packaging. It also had the rough look to all the parts that indicates it was the proto.
Now, my question is why in the world would Infinity Studios put that back out there in it's
original state to put it on YouTube? I don't understand that at all, especially if they were changing the
headsculpt / paint, etc. I would think that would be the last thing you want to do right before placing
it up for preorder.
My biggest thing is that the face seemed "squashed" or that they eyes were too close together.
It just had an "off" feel to it, unlike all of their other pieces.
Hopefully the reveal on Sideshow today is the updated piece, but maybe they are just going with
it as-is at this point?
