OH WOW! I love this piece! Is he better than the original? Hmmmm... I think so and so does my youngest son but my wife and oldest son like the OG Joker better... I would say one is only a little better then the other... The OG has a fantastic face sculpt. OG Reg and Ex are top notch sculpts with flawless paint apps. The pose works better for the Ex sculpt on the OG IMO but I like the Reg sculpt better. The AA Joker has two great head sculpts also. I would say they are very close to as good as the OG but very different. Where the new one shines is the pose and the clothing. It takes it too another level IMO. Which gives it the edge to the OG... My Wife's biggest issue was the color of AA Joker's face. My son thought the AA Joker was too creepy (Laughing head), which is a good thing I think
I was shocked that I liked the Reg head as much as I do on the AA Joker... I really thought this was an absolute Ex or fail and while I think the EX head is a must, if one just gets the reg you are getting a great statue.
OG Joker 8.5 out of 10 (Head sculpts are a 10 out of 10 though)
AA Joker 9.5 out of 10
Probably will keep both
