The Joker Action Figure
The Dark Knight keeps surprising us... first, it was the movie itself. Now, some products related to the epic are getting some attention. Hollywood have always got some good merchandising for their movie, specially when the subject is Action Figures.
Action Figures have always been a big PART of our lives. Not our lives? Well, at least MY life. But if you can relate to that, than you'll probably get all jumpy when you get to see this sweet Joker action figure. Different from the first TDK action figures featuring the regular Joker outfit, this one features the Bank Robber version of our favorite villain.
Update: I forgot to post the picture where it shows all the accessories... there is also an extra head, so that's why his expression and hair change. ;)
Pretty cool, right? Yeah, yeah... but you just really realize who GREAT this action figure is just when you first get to see Joker's face. One problem about action figures of humans, is that most times the artist don't get to represent the actor's face perfectly. There's always that plastic toy look on it. But NOT THIS ONE. I was truly amazed when I saw the Joker's face.
Not impressed yet? Then take a look at these 'portraits'... if you're not impressed easily, this will do just the trick:
Take a good look at the 3rd one of the 2nd row. It's like a picture of Ledger's face. AMAZING.
And like a good action figure, it comes with MANY extra acessories:
- Extra head with other expression and hair.
- Clown mask.
- Handgun with removable magazine.
- MK760 with removable magazine.
- Sling Bag
- Fragmentation grenade (x 4)
- Smoke grenade (x 3)
- 2 pairs of gloved hands
- Playing Cards
- Dollar Bills
This is the secret of the "many faces".
And for those just getting crazy about it, "The Joker, Bank Robber" version is brought to you by great Hot Toys, the same from "Mark 2" and "Mark 3" action figures.
And just to finish this post the right way, if you are still not impressed about the Joker's AF, just take a look at this picture and think with yourself for a second whether or not this is a still from the movie.
How about a magic trick? ;)

This may be gracing the shelf above my desk soon.

This is a very nice collection..

Very nice, and looks awfully real! *wants*

Am I being crazy? How can his face change??? In one pic his hair is slicked back, in the next its not? If its a plastic toy surely his expression wouldn't changed from picture to picture? Or is it changing? Maybe its just the hair...
To those who are curious, this figure has two detachable heads. That's why there are two styles pictured.
fake.... duh.
@ Dog: "Am I being crazy? How can his face change??? In one pic his hair is slicked back, in the next its not? If its a plastic toy surely his expression wouldn't changed from picture to picture? Or is it changing? Maybe its just the hair..."
A quick visit to the toy's product page reveals you get two heads with the figure.
@ Dog, LOL, you're not crazy... I actually forgot to post the picture that shows all the accessories. Sorry about that detail. ;)
What, no pencil?
Wow, that action figure is impressively detailed! I like it how the also they didn't forget about the accessories...
Hey Paulo,
You succeed! This action figure is definitely the hot stuff!
Thanks for making my day better!
I love abduzeedo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wtf.. i thouhgt this was real human but it isnt.....
GREAT
This is a very nice collection..? want one
wow they look amazingly realistic!
looks just like the dead cowboy! good job...
Just to comment on the merchandise. I think Hot Toys had surprised me too when I heard that there's a bank robber version! Well considering that the first Hot Toys JOKER was sold out basically everywhere, they outdid themselves this time with such a really cool JOKER! I can't wait to get one. Pre-order yours before it's too late! By the way are Hot Toys available in retail in Brazil?
fake
Grown men play with this crap? LOL Pathetic.
yesterday i saw the movie. I think that the script is the best of batman series. Also, of course, the joker role is fantastic.
What do you think about a "why so serious" contest ? take inspiration on this pic http://marcvz.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/why-serious-joker.jpg and try to do something like it.
btw, good research work :D
This is the best.
i love joker.
really nice collection.
thanks
that it totally wicked, that is kick ass i want one so much!!!!!!
Wow that is a great job!...Im a girl and I will be getting one lol. May Heath rest in peace and his memory live on forever
Y'know, I think I like the Joker better with his hair slicked back like the second head, rather than loose like it was in the movie.
wow there are alot of stupid people in the world. no man alive can model a human face that perfectly. so to sum up,
FAKE!
I love how from the right angle, the unslicked-hair head's expression kind of looks like the Joker is pouting. xD
Who ever said that no body can sculpt a human face like that, and that this is fake is wrong. Sorry, I know sculptors in the business. And this is very possible.
Best Joker yet.
the slick back version looks a little like mike ness.
Truly amazing detail and quality! Can't wait to get my hands on one.
Where can i get this? Like seriously??!
Wow, that is great work. Really strong.

Eric Carlson and Joan Wagar, A,K,A, Doubleclick and Mrs Dash,( yes those are there nicknames they gave each other.) admitted to poisoning me while I was a plasma donor back in 2005.
Eric carlson pedofied me behind prison walls and then framed me as a pedophile on march 26th 2007, I caught the crime on a audio recorder I put in Joan's purse.
there were people in authority helping them with this and nobody in authority will help they pretend nothing happened and refuse to investigate this.
Eric carlson changed his hair color and his name but this is not hidden, only ignored by the authority's and media
Im disabled from being poisoned and the hospitals refuse to admit Im poisoned.
My Family is in danger from these people and I have no other recoarse but to make these charges public.
My name is Terry Wagar,Im from portland oregon and Im backing up these charges.
Holy jumpin' realism batman! This has got to be the most realistic 'action figure' I've ever seen. Outstanding!
This is really good...I was sure that it wasn't real for a minute or 2, but a closer examination dispelled that. Thanks for sharing!
wow very impressive. I wonder if they sell that a toys r us.
