I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

It's the hair, not the portrait.

A tad bit less while trying to keep the shape.


From the freaks board someone did.

I gotta admit HT really should have included a more movie accurate portrait and not one trying to prove it looks like Ledger. The socks being the wrong pattern the higher they go up makes no sense too although I would never display him in a way showing the socks so who cares.

I think what a lot of people would like in probably the next version is a portrait from the integration room with disheveled hair.


He has a look in certain scenes with thinning hair although it's not really thinning as much as one would think but the stands of hair are more clumped together making it look thin to the point you can see his scalp here and there.


I suppose one can say it only really looks like this when it seems to be more wet mimicking sweat. But I feel they are making his hair line really way to thick and his hair should have more strands of hair clumped up together and showing more gaps between the strands here and there.

It's a nice HT but it isn't as good as expecting coming from HT which are known to be almost picture perfect when doing movie characters at least a lot of times I know sometimes when they do rehashes they come out less movie accurate like Jack Sparrow 2.0

My biggest gripe about this figure is the damn price tag. I mean DAMN $540 is pretty damn high for a HT even if he is 1:4 in scale, hell for that price we have expectations for this to be an exact replica to how he looked in the movie and really it isn't. But it is nice none the less.

It´s the hair and the portrait.

But it will sell like hotcakes regardless.

I just don't see it. Just ordered it now. But if someone were to do a custom head that blew me away I'd be interested.

The likeness is still not really there after all these attempts and the big shoe boots he has is not appealing either for the price. I won't consider ordering this unless they improve those 2 things.

the portrait on the pf looks pretty good, I think the factory paint hinders it but theres so many other things off about that statue

in terms of likeness id go:

prime1 1/2 scale > HT 1/4 scale > HT DX11 > enterbay / SS > all others
I have to strongly disagree about the Enterbay. Having seen it in person it IS a perfect likeness of Ledger. The face sculpt and base are nicer on the Enterbay IMHO. I do like the accessories with the HT's one better despite the Enterbay coming with an insane amount of them as well.

Best HT's Ledger sculpts were the ones with their original Bank Robber edition. So sweet that one of them was re-packed in with DX11 for good measure.
