In my opinion, while those are certainly great points, the key aspect here is the involvement of Blitzway, which above all means a greater shot at a great likeness, especially if K.A. Kim is the one assigned to do it.

I think it's more a case of playing to each company's strengths. Except for their 1:2 pieces (along with Will Smith and perhaps some other example), I think Prime 1 has struggled to achieve a good likeness of real actors so far, especially (probably) those without digital data available, whereas that has been Blitzway's forte, although they're no slouch in the clothes department, either.

Methinks -and this is only me speculating- that when Prime 1 saw what that scoundrel of Molecule8 did to K.A. Kim, who came back to Blitzway, they decided to approach both her and the company.

I'd be very, very, very surprised if this weren't mixed media.

Pretty much my thoughts as well.

I normally don't collect movie statues but I can see myself adding this Ledger Joker to my collection! Of course this would mean I would eventually have to pick up the Bale 1/3 Scale as well

Still waiting for that Keaton Prime 1 teased years and years ago ....

All I'll say is if you don't own a Blitzway statue of any kind, they're something special. I found Rocky on the aftermarket and my wife who is not interested in this hobby at all was blown away by it and has taken full responsibility over it from me.

I like my P1 Ledger Joker including the face but with all these options coming out from multiple companies I might have to put the thinking cap on.

Could this actually be the expression they go for?

Blitzway are one of the best out there imo. They should do an awesome ledger joker.

KA Kim will nail the sculpt. It'll actually look like Heath with makeup on.
