Joker PF - Page 691

Those "flaws" are extremely minor. I would never have even noticed them if you didn't have them circled. You can find at least one "flaw" on every PF if you took your time to look for it. Don't worry about them and go and enjoy your new statue. Its one of SS's best PFs ever.

I wouldn't say they're extremely minor....if they were EXTREMELY minor then he probably would have never even noticed them but guess what he did.

It just depends on how much he paid for it, if i had paid a lot for a mint condition item then I would be pissed but if it was sold to me at a really good price then I wouldn't care too much.

Hey guys, thank you so very much on chiming on my situation! As someone who is still relatively young in the world of statue collecting, I really do appreciate and value all your words of wisdom and advice.

I decided to take the deal after sleeping on it. The seller did give me a partial refund on it as well which does soften the blow a little. In the end, I just had to have this guy in my collection and I don't plan on reselling it down the line. I gotta say that the detail and quality that went into this PF by Martin and the Gore Group is pretty amazing!

As far as removing dried up stains on the cloth, has anyone had experiences with Goo Be Gone? I'm just afraid of making the areas more noticeably worse.

I would take a pass on this, sounds waaaaay too risky. I would consult with a professional (dry cleaner for example) before taking a chemical like that to cloth

regardless congrats, this my favorite statue from sideshow im sure youll enjoy having it in your collection

Thanks man. The details on both head sculpts is insane! I didn't think I'd be impressed with the EX head, but I pretty much have Joker displayed with it right now.

As for Goo Be Gone, I figured it would be too harsh of a chemical to use. I just need to find a safe way to soften the butt stain without discolouring the area around it.

Congrats man! The Joker premium format is one of my favorites and I also plan to buy it in the near future. A partial refund does indeed make this worth it in my opinion so again congrats!

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but I was wondering if anybody could help me out. I just got this Joker PF from an eBay seller but I noticed his right arm, the arm that's holding the main part of the cane sorta wiggles. Is this the case on anyone else's? It doesn't seem broken but it's very odd.

I checked this for ya and neither of the arms on mine wiggle. I don't know how the statue is constructed underneath the fabric (e.g., whether or not the arm is a separately cast piece assembled during production), so I can't say what you are experiencing is a fracture or just a loose fit. I think the original Harley Quinn PF's left leg was a separate piece if I'm not mistaken, so the latter is possible. Again, I'm not so sure--but mine don't move for what it's worth.

Welcome to the forum, JGAnimator!!

Sorry to hear about your issue with this statue.

For me personally ....yet another reason why I don't like mixed-media. With all that fabric covering the sculpt ...you can't tell if there is fracture underneath.

Hellboy · 08-25-2018, 03:36 PM

He’s most likely cracked a bit under the fabric. On the plus side you’ll never see it and it shouldn’t worsen if you don’t mess with the piece.
