I think that Joker looks amazing, but 5K is ridiculous! There is nothing about the piece that should cost remotely that much. Why don't you see if you can get a blank cast in latex and have another artist finish it up for you? Even if you sold all that Freddy stuff, one of your lungs and probably your car...you might not even have enough for it. I'm of the mindset that once the DVD drops in December, you will see a lot more artists attempting the TDK Joker. I would wait it out a little bit, but if you want it bad enough I guess there's no reason to tell you otherwise. I just think paying 5K for a piece of silicone with some paint and hair is WAAAYYYY too much. My Jeep Cherokee only cost me 3K and I've put thousands of miles on it. How much are you really going to get out of that bust? Also...often times a lot of these higher end pieces don't resell for what the originally cost so if some day you need money or you just get sick of looking at it...you're generally screwed.Just playing <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/devil.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":devil:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"devil.gif\" /> 's advocate here.
