I had high expectations for this statue but I was disappointed when seeing the final product. The face on the statue does not resemble the one seen in the promotional image. The face is elongated, and the paint was poorly done on the face. If you look on the DC Direct website (http://www.dccomics.com/dcdirect/?dcd=9619&lst=new&cat=STATUES), it reads, "Final product may differ from image shown", and they were exactly right. If you are able to touch up the paint on the face yourself then feel free to try but I just thought I would give everyone a heads up on this product.

I got my Joker statue the other day, and I must say I'm pretty pleased with it. Overall the quality is decent, the base is sturdy and paint job is well done. Except for the eyes. It's always hard to tell how the face looks in pictures so small, but the right eye on my statue is a little off centered, making him look cross-eyed. You can only tell if you hold it up close, but it's still a little frustrating to have that small problem on an item that costs so much.

Overall though I am pleased with my purchase. And it looks good on the book case. It also creeps out the wife, which is always good...

nice figure but I agree with the other reviewer he looks crossed eyed.
for my money the bobble head joker has the best face job go figure

The manufacturer of this statue has evidently used the face of Heath Ledger made up as the Joker in all their ads and cover or box art; however, the face on the statue bears little resemblance to Heath Ledger! It seems to be a cross between the Dark Knight's Joker and the elongated face of the Joker from the comic books. Using photographic images made up to look like a statue to pre-sell it would appear to be an act of Fraud especially when the manufacturer continues to use the bogus artwork on the box. I'm wondering if we can start a class-action lawsuit for Fraud!

I normally do not buy statues. I'm just not that guy. Been reading and collecting comics for years. Hell, I put out my own comic book. I really don't consider this a toy, mainly because its A) not very fun to PLAY with and B) its too expensive to be "played" with. (I bought mine at a comic shop for $155 after having my eye on it for a few months.) I didn't buy it as an investment, but it was the only one I could justify buying for myself. I've always been a huge fan of Batman, more particularly the Joker (although I'm not fond of Jack Nicholson's portrayal of him) and I especially enjoyed Ledger's performance (RIP). In short, if your a fan of the Joker AND the Dark Knight and you happen to run across this, buy it if you can spare, it's not a bad piece.
