And put the Arkham Knight Batman's head up against anyone else's. Not sure what happened there. Growing pains, I guess.

That’s why sometimes I prefer to leave the Bruce Wayne head on the body, as imo it helps hide the pinhead affect a bit.

Two words: Stun ning! Everyone has their own opinion of course, but it's my opinion that if you past on this Joker you made a mistake. Forgive my crappy iPhone pics, the lightning isn't very good and makes the white of his face look washed out. Trust me it doesn't look that way in person, it looks just like the proto.

I got this today... my thoughts are:

• Now I know why the shipping was so high.
• Putting these things together scares the crap out of me.... especially when the base is wobbly on this one due to one of the pads being a bit smashed. Please don't tip over.
• Can't find a flaw on it (beyond the wobbly base), which has been my experience with every P1 statue I have had so far (13).
• I don't get the gun hand switch outs. The only difference is one has a pinky finger sticking out? I guess I never noticed there were two before. I thought one went with the "BANG" flag, but it seems like either can be used. I must be missing something.
• Please more companies include instructions on how things go back in the styrofoam. I can't believe it took so long for someone to do that (at least, first time I've seen it).
• Choosing between the screaming portrait and smiling portrait was the hardest switchout choice I've had to make. I wish P1 included little portrait display stands.
• The Hush line is in danger. I don't know where I thought I'd put them. This Joker just took up a huge chunk of the space where the Hush line was going to go and I still need to squeeze in AK Catwoman and Joker. It's getting crowded.
• The portraits have to be in the running for my favorite Joker portrait.... the Arkahm Origins look was one of my favorites. The other contenders are the old DCD 1:2 Joker bust and the Tweeterhead Joker.

Agree on wishing it came with display stands for the other portraits like the AK Catwoman does. That's my only gripe. They're so awesome it would've been great to be able to display them. The foam pads P1 uses are a little squishy. Once they sit for a bit and compress it's stable. I have no concerns for tipping.

One of the guns has the trigger pulled, which I guess is meant to go with the flag. But yeah, the flag will go in either.

Thanks - I missed that when comparing the two.

Did anyone have trouble getting the flag to go in? I've seen some pics where it looks like the end goes almost all the way into the gun hole and mine wouldn't come even close in either of them. I wasn't feeling that great about it's chances of not falling....

The flag went all the way in on one of mind but barely on the other, not enough to hold it safely. I intend to use a small drill bit by hand to slightly enlarge the hole so it will fit. Probably just some extra paint in the hole preventing it going in.

I found if you even twist the flag end in the slightest when it's in the hole, it will start breaking that end down and then it fits a little better.... after damaging the end. When I first encountered resistance, I considered just not bothering since if I destroyed anything at all it would drive me crazy. I just couldn't leave it alone.

Is P1 for sure making a Hush Joker or just speculation. I'd hate to buy this and a cool hush version pops up.
