Having finally got the Hot Toys Joker Bust after wanting it since seeing the first promo images last year, I can say that it has been worth the wait. I think it is fantastic. Compared to other busts by companies like DC Direct and Gentle Giant these Hot Toys busts are massive, standing at around 10" tall compared to the usual 5"-6" scale that is common for most Busts. Another great feature is that they are made of plastic, unlike many other busts by other companies, which therefore allows for more detailing in the clothing of the Joker, as the costume is built up by layers of plastic as opposed to being a chunk of polyresin for example. The Joker also has articulation (in a bust!) as he can movie his head forward and backwards and it can be tilted from side to side.
I hope Hot Toys make more of these busts, though I doubt it as they would probably have been announced by now. A Dark Knight suit Batman and a Two Face would have been brilliant, and maybe even another Joker, such as the Bank Robber costume, seeing as Hot Toys have shown in the Bank Robber and Police Officer 1/6 scale figures that they have the potential for getting an even better likeness on Ledger's Joker (even though I think the likeness on the current bust is still brilliant).
Has anyone else got either of these busts, and what do you think of them?
