Prime 1 Studio - Batman: Arkham Origins - Joker 1:3

damn not even a low stock alert on this one? I thought it would be way more popular...is it because it's Origins?

^^^ most Prime 1 1/3 pieces don't sell out until after they ship. IMO it's less about the price, or character and more to do with space. With so many statues coming out from so many companies, 1/3 scale is a challenge for most collectors who are struggling with limited space as it is.

I think if the Prime 1 Arkham line was in 1/4 scale the demand would easily be double.

Completely agree. If the P1 Arkham pieces were 1/4 scale, my POs would've more than doubled. I picked up the Bane, Joker, Catwoman, and Harley PFs from sideshow because I loved the classic versions of those characters. However, I would've at the very least ordered the P1 Arkham Two-Face, Scarecrow, and Mr. Freeze if they were 1/4 scale instead of 1/3 scale.

The P1 Two-Face is practically identical to the comic version of the character and I think Scarecrow and Mr. Freeze actually look far better than their classic comic versions. If sideshow released PFs of the 3 characters I mentioned, I'd probably pass on all of them because I love the P1 Arkham versions more. I'd also add the P1 Joker because I don't mind 2 different versions of that character in 1/4 scale.

However, I don't have the space to add all these characters in 1/3 scale. That's the reason why I've only added the P1 Arkham Origins Deathstroke to my collection and I'm waiting for a 1/3 Arkham Asylum/City Bats. I just can't fit all the 1/3 Arkham pieces I like in my collection.

i think part of the reason is that it may be too different from the rest of the line with its pose and base, at least it was for me

plus we have two other jokers coming, AK and Bermejo (scale / time frame unconfirmed)

From what I have heard, the Arkham Origins game was the least popular of the series (not from Rocksteady) although well received and the design of Joker for this game was a diversion from the original Rocksteady Arkham whose previous design later came back in the Arkham Knight. In my opinion, the Asylum/Knight version is hands down superior although Origins is cool too. Basically, $1050+tax+shipping is a lot to swallow for a character that just looks cool. I would like to see it in person and on friends shelves to look at when I visit, but no interest for the debt and space I would need to accommodate for it.

I think for 1:3, swap outs and the quality I have seen. The prices aren't bad at all.
It's just knowing that we have soo many options we know are coming.

Personally I really like this piece. I would pose him Red Hood all day if I get him.

True and good switch outs. I think Prime 1 would have done better to focus on the Arkham Knight line due to my inner bias.

He became deadly insane after he disguised himself as a made up villain called The Red Hood, and robbed Ace chemicals.....

This joker look awesome and the exclusive red hood portrait is the reason why I pre-ordered.
