And in the event of an earthquake, the safest place to shelter is under your hulk PF

There is flesh showing through the make up and pores on the Enterbay Joker, I really doubt the PF will look able to mimic the realism of the EB Joker.

It still looks like an action figure that has been posed as the neck looks long and looks like a separate part from the body. Nevertheless, it does still have presence but I just think a well sculpted statue provided it looks good is more appealing. That's just my opinion. However, that figure still looks great are you going to get it?

I would just prefer a PF statue. I know I am

Well I think it matter's because the a sculpted pose has the ability to look more natural than something with joints regardless if they are hidden because they can't achieve the range of motion an action figure can't. That being said, a lot of statues have horrible poses and can look unnatural due to the sculptor.

Really? My friends think both are dolls!

My friend told me he can't tell the difference, so u have a valid point but for me the pose never looks as natural as a statue.

Anyway I would just prefer a statue than an action figure, it looks more appealing to me, just personal preference really.

I'm so happy with my EB but like I said, the same Joker with the same costume ==> PASS ! I've ordered the 1/4 HT Batman because he's different from the EB Batman Begins Suit (which is AWESOME).

Would be nice a 1/4 Joker figure with the nurse costume

(sorry if my english sucks)

1:2 p1 bust is super heavy. No way SS can match the EB joker, but I will be watching this.

If Trevor Grove sculpts the head, I think sculpt wise they do have a pretty good chance. Most of the sculpts Trevor makes are pretty much dead on, like that Dutch PF. That sculpt is better than EB BD Terminator IMO.

However, sideshow does not stand a chance of making this look as realistic as EB because the head looks like skin due to the PVC rubbery skin like appearance. I just wish sideshow would use Resin or even PVC heads like Bltizway has done for their Bruce Lee statue as polystone will never have a skin like appearance that Resin or PVC does, no matter how well it is painted.

I agree Dark God getting you can never get that life like pose with an articulated figure, but I am willing it to trade for a life like portrait and interchangeable weapons. The day SS at least gives us that skin like appearance I am totally in.

Right now I also prefer to sacrifice the life like pose of the body to get a head sculpt looks like the real thing as well!

Well that day has already come, they made a WWII German Trooper PF completely out of resin if I am not mistaken, which looked real. Also their OBI WAN LSF sculpt made also made out of resin looks real. So they have no excuse not to be able to produce realistic statue because they have proven they can. They just prefer to sculpt PFs out of polystone and they never look real no matter how well they r painted.

I thought they backtracked using the resin

Apparently they did. Their Obi LSF wasn't like that any more at last SDCC.
