Play Arts Kai Joker Review

Mastersteef · 03-28-2012, 06:08 PM

...So this review is a little different in that, I won't be breaking it down and telling you every little thing about the figure to try and give it a score...because simply, it doesn't need one.

This figure is pretty much perfect in every way and I really can't stop playing with it (as evidenced by the pics below) and is a MUST BUY if you ever see it in the wild....

Nonetheless for those still not convinced, before I start with the pictures here's a quick pros and cons list...

Pro:
-Flawless Paint
-Tight Joints
-Superb Articulation
-Excellent Likeness of the character

Con:
-No stand whatsoever (why?)
-Accessories included are great, but could definitely use a few more
-A little expensive

And with that out of the way, I'm gonna let the pictures speak for themselves on this one ladies and gents...hope you enjoy!....

Holy crap man, that looks amazing!

Looks sick, just wish these things were more compact. A five inch line with this detail from them would be great!

Also that first picture rocks! Batman Beyond's in there, and that makes it cooler.

Great review. Don't know if I want Joker, but Batman is a must for me.

Figure of the day had batman and joker in a row. I should have bought both. 50 is a good price for these guys. Your shots make it even better

Thanks man!

And yeah, Figure of the day.com is where I got my Joker from, I was PISSED that I had missed Batman the day before on the same site since now he's $60-70 everywhere I look online.

I got an email from figure of the day saying that a few Play Arts Kai figures were given away as their $20 Easter mystery special. I hope an Arker or two get one. I ordered one of the blind boxes because, well, I felt lucky, so I guess we'll find out.

That's awesome! Sadly, I was not one of those lucky few...however, I was pleasantly surprised to find the B & W Catwoman and Batman AC 2-pack in my Easter box yesterday. (also I broke down and bought Play Arts Kai Batman off Hastings for $62, Joker is too godamn cool to be alone!)

Nice. I was hoping to get mine today but didn't. Maybe tomorrow?

Well we just bought Batman and...............We don't like it

Anyone want to buy it for a discounted price?

Barefootabe · 04-15-2012, 11:03 PM

hey that batman beyond is really cool , what do you think about it? is it a good figure? it looks alot better than the 1/6 scale DC direct one

DogFashionDisco · 04-16-2012, 10:22 AM

I think it is the DC Direct one.

Barefootabe · 04-16-2012, 01:10 PM

the one from dc direct has a really weird looking mask .

i believe i found it though Amazon.com: Batman Beyond BATMAN 1999 Boxed 9 inch Action Figure by Hasbro with Retractable Batrope (lets him fly): Toys & Games

Mastersteef · 04-17-2012, 08:11 AM

Yeah he's a pretty cool figure, though its a little annoying that you can't take his wings off (they are glued into his back) he's also lacking any sort of thigh or bicep swivels that I'm accustomed to Terry being able to pull off. For a toy made in 1999 though, he's not too bad...looking forward to getting the DC Direct one someday or maybe...just maybe...there'll be a Play Arts version of him someday (I'd explode with joy if that happened)

DogFashionDisco · 04-17-2012, 10:24 AM

I like this figure a lot, but does anyone else think the head sculpt looks a little goofy?

I think it's dead on, actually.

Haloid1177 · 04-24-2012, 06:33 PM

The head sculpt isn't as sharp as the DC Direct version, but if you get the Batman, you need the Joker.
