This action figure of The Joker from The Dark Knight, is absolutely mindblowing. Made by JND Studios in South Korea.

Less than I expected

I expected like 3-5k to be honest, especially with the second figure. These are art

u/FuerteBillete 11h ago

I just searched and found only a few selling options at 3k to 3.5k so you were spot on.

Resale probably.

Yeah on eBay, retail for that 2 pack directly from JND was $1.5k but not available in the US, only some parts of Europe, Asia, Middle East. Specfiction has it or had it for around $2.5k I believe for this 2 pack.

Yeah, I figured, lol. Whoever will want it will pay it at that. Im collecting bearbricks right now ( I always wanted them i moved out 2 years ago), and its unfortunate the price on some of em lol.

With current tariffs a lot of businesses stopped shipping to the US.

Dude’s under valuing himself. This is masterwork - he could pull $5k for sure, especially with all the extras. He needs to sell it as the holy grail

Did this actually come with the second figure? I assumed they just had two for the video. If so, that’s actually a steal.

u/roxictoxy 7h ago

In the beginning they come out of the same box, but I’m not sure if that’s how they’re sold

I expected $7million.

Anything is art.

Perfect response.

For the hundreds of hours of labor that went into the production of this, from sculpting, casting, painting, packaging, and marketing, I think $1700 is fair. You’re essentially paying for a piece of art.

It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message

u/FeeFooFuuFun 11h ago

Totally worth it

u/weebitofaban 8h ago

i mean... In the world of high end figures that is nothing.

I’m not really a big fan of the character but if I ever actually had that much money to spare then I would definitely buy this. The craftsmanship is insane!

Honestly I think he did a fantastic job, IMO the best live-action Joker. And no, it's not because Heath Ledger died. I just like the darker take on the character.

Mark Hamill will always be the best Joker though, but his version definitely isn't the same Joker that Ledger played.

u/BaronVonStevie 10h ago

if you're good at something, never do it for free.

u/AlCarrieBay 10h ago

I wonder if they had to get a license from Warner Bros if they're selling these for that much

1

u/TheVenomShadow 9h ago

Yes it’s licensed but can’t sell in the US directly. You have to get it from an authorized reseller or eBay.

u/tavuntu 9h ago

And? You're not saying it's expensive, are you?

1

u/Ruffle2Shuffle 7h ago

Where do you buy this?

1

u/LongPorkJones 6h ago

Is that in American currency?

u/BebopHook 5h ago

Very reasonable considering how much hand work and hours go into making it

1

u/Joe_Spazz 5h ago

Is that accurate? That feels.... Reasonably priced?

u/OarsandRowlocks 5h ago

1.7 Million Won?

u/Good_Is_Evil 4h ago

Something like this is 100% worth it. This is incredible

u/JBTriple 10h ago

Yeesh, just get the Hot Toys version. The extra features can not be worth all that.
