This review is from: Hot Toys' The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale Bank Robber The Joker (Toy)

I won't write too much on the figure because basically everyone else has covered it. This really is one REALISTIC looking figure. I have both this one and the DC Direct Joker (retail 89.99 when I got that one) and they are both fantastic. I thought that the DC Direct one looked very realistic (especially over the other hot toys joker doll)until I bought this one. This one is truly amazing. The only thing I want to mention that I don't think I have read in the other reviews is that the Stand for the figure is terrible. It is not a very secure stand and does not hold it very well at all. I mean, it works, but I would not take it over the standard stand that clips around their waist or holds the figure up by their shoulders. But does that make this figure not worth getting? Heck No! this thing is a must have for people that love to collect figures and are big fans of the Joker.

Wow, just WOW. I think this takes the cake as the coolest Joker figure out there. Hot Toys have outdone themselves with this one. The detail on this figure, especially the facial detail and paint job, have to be seen to be believed as to just how realistic it is.

Some people have said that the costume here is a little bit "boring," but I think this diversion from the typical purple suit is what makes this figure unique and original, a different take on the Joker and his character. Some other pluses:

-Lots of cool accessories. Comes with "Grumpy" clown mask, handgun with removable clip, MK760 with removable clip, 4 grenades, 3 smoke grenades, luggage bag, and an extra head with an evil smirk expression. One recommendation: if you take it out of the box for display, put all the grenades into the luggage bag. They are fairly small and easy to lose otherwise.

-Spitting image of Heath Ledger. The Hot Toys' The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale The Joker, as awesome as it is, doesn't resemble Ledger that much.

If there's one small flaw with this figure (and a very small one at that), it's that the mask has a brand-new look to it and isn't weathered like in the movie. One can either leave it as is or try to custom-weather it a little.

At almost $200 this isn't pocket change, but trust me, it's worth every penny. Looking back now, it's almost unfathomable that many people paid over $300 on eBay for the Batman: The Dark Knight - The Joker with Crime Scene Evidence Movie Masters Joker figure only because it got pulled from store shelves. Someday this Bank Robber will be unavailable too (being a limited edition), and in this case paying the $200 is more than justifiable.

All in all, a must-own "Dark Knight" Joker figure. Most highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars After a Little Work, Simply Stunning, January 14, 2009

This review is from: Hot Toys' The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale Bank Robber The Joker (Toy)

If you have read my reviews of the other figures in Hot Toys' TDK line, you know that I think they are some of the finest movie licensed products ever released. This figure, after a bit of work out of the box, fits the bill as well.

Much was made when the first Joker was released, and while it was simply stunning in its execution and attention to detail, perhaps the biggest factor in any Joker figure--Heath Ledger's likeness in the film--wasn't quite present. The headsculpt, while exquisite in its own right, wasn't pulled off the screen like the other figure's headsculpts were. So HT went back to work and remedied the situation by giving us a new character and the best headsculpt available on the market.

Out of the box, the figure is quite underwhelming. The new headsculpt aside, the suit was a bit wrinkled, the undershirt not straight, and the figure looks quite plain. After about 20 minutes of straightening up and changing out the left hand (the peg stayed in the body this time!!) the figure started coming together. Ever since I saw the promo pics of the figure, I knew I wanted the stance that depicted for the product on this page. Once he was there, I had to step back and say "wow."

Unlike the regular Joker, this figure is able to "hunch" a bit better to match what we saw on the screen. The mask fits perfectly on the additional headsculpt and the additional glove holds it tightly as well. Again as in the other HT reviews, I don't think the figure would stand on its own forever, so I utilized the handy included stand.

So what do you get for almost $200? A great figure, the best headsculpt available, an alternate headsculpt, the bank robbery mask, two extra hands, jokerized $1 bills, jokerized playing cards, a glock with extended clip, a machine gun used during the Batpod scenes, and incredible duffle bag, four grenades, three smoke grenades, and a foam punchout to keep the grandes separated in the bag.

While not as detailed (for obvious reasons) as the original Joker, this version is certainly worth the investment, especially if you have the regular joker and want to change the headsculpts. In the end, it becomes a stunning addition to your collection that will have onlookers in awe. It definitley looks like Heath stepped off the screen and into a display case. Check out my pics to see what I mean ;)
