Since both TH and SS charge me sales tax, and $25 flat rate shipping from TH is about the same as shipping UPS from SS due to my location, really the only question would be if SS will bump up the EX price, if there is an EX, and if TH does the $25 off for paid in full. Assuming the same bump in price as Teela , that would be a $40 savings if I order from TH.... but $350 points at SS then remain unused.....

Maybe I should clarify further -- this level of detailed base works for the Joker. Ateon, you said it perfectly and helped me see that this does show that he is the Clown Prince of Crime. I do love looking at this piece and think its beautfilly done.

My concerns were voices that I don't want hugely detailed bases just for the sake of having them. Ivy works because her base is a giant plant. It's not a plant, surrounded by a ton of other things.

I have hopes that TH can keep the balance of that characters that have been done to death get more elaborate bases their second time around (Harley, Joker, Batman, WW, Supes, Ivy). While the characters not done have a more subdued base (Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Flash, etc).

I'm trying to figure out what the EX may be. To tie into the Killing Joke, portrait with a hat? I don't know how much space their is between the chair and his head for a brim.

I would also guess his hand with the card could maybe hold something.

TH usually surprises me not only with their switch outs, but with what they decide is an EX or not.

Patiently waiting for the 27th for the full details.
Never had any interest in TH releases, but 1/6 is my preferred scale and the story, the pose it has here cannot be produced by any figure.

So yes, I am excited.

No Joker fish visible so far. Maybe a revolver, but that's covered by the last. One of the descriptions said sword cane, maybe that's hanging from his non-visible hand.

I am glad that my thought process regarding the statue helped you to make your own decision.

It happens that sometimes the whole is more than just a sum of parts. When the statue was revealed I felt that the overall composition works. Then it came to me why.

Best of luck with PO. The statue is great and is very unique as of today. A worthy addition to the collection.

Maybe the exclusive will be a small statue of a Joker fish comparable to what poison ivy had with Frank the plant

A lit match or lighter might be cool. Might be cooler as a third option.
