This singular creation is meticulously crafted to capture Health Ledger's unforgettable performance, every chilling detail has been lovingly reproduced - the Joker's twisted grin, the patterned scars, the maniacal glint in his eyes. Yet the real scene-stealer has to be the green coiffed hairstyle, brought to life through the use of wool hair implant techniques. And there’s the specially designed Batsuit, a riot of purple and green hues splattered with the Joker's signature paint. It's a deliciously deranged twist that will have you questioning the very nature of reality.

Prepare to be haunted by this figure's sheer presence. Adorned with an array of sinister accessories - guns, batarangs, grenades, playing cards – the Joker stands ready to unleash his anarchic plans. Will you have the nerve to stand against him, or will you succumb to the allure of his madness? This is your chance to command the power of duality, to delve into the darkest recesses of the Clown Prince's mind.

This is a Hot Toys exclusive item with limited quantity of 3,000 units available only in selected markets. Seize your opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind masterpiece before it slips away forever, and let the Joker's sinister schemes consume you.

**** sakes. Unfathomable how no nurse joker permission granted yet they can create this monstrosity.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

You have got to be kidding. What is happening?

 

[Asta]

It's been a very cheap day today with Hot Toys' announcements.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Is it still Marvel Summer Showcase?

 

[vambriz]

Who asked for this?

If they’re continuing to make this character then why not make new Bank Robber version? Cop version? Or finally release a nurse version.

Why this?

Why this?

Looks like they're just getting some more use out of old moulds.

I'm sure they'll pass the savings onto future figures.

 

[zenonithus]

Wasn't there a custom someone already made? Hope they got credit for the idea.

 

[Frenchy]

It’s horrible and lazy from Hot toys. Meanwhile as we have more news di Nightwing from Arkham Knight.

 

[a-dev]

In fairness none of us predicted they'd release another TDK Batsuit......with Joker's head on it.

Is that a different sculpt to the Artisan Joker?

Doesn't appear to be:

One (1) newly painted head sculpt with separate rolling eyeball system

 

[ronnieb555]

Doesn't appear to be:

Sorry yeah just checked the pictures and compared them, looks like the same sculpt but different paint, especially the black around the eyes where the other version has the paint running down his cheeks.

 

[dominishin]

It's literally same sculpt diff paint.

These summer exclusives often are figures they can reuse or quickly do since they're supposed to be released very quick.

 

[Godfather1408]

Is that a different sculpt to the Artisan Joker?

I was wondering this also maybe just styled better and painted better.

Howard is smoking some crack

 

[a-dev]

Kinda disappointing to see their new sculpt being reused in such a cheap cashgrab before we even have the Artisan/DX32.

 

[cmiller99]

Just when you think you’ve seen it all…

It's a deliciously deranged twist that will have you questioning the very nature of reality.

I’m questioning something alright…

 

[Johnny Utah]

That looks absolutely awful. HT deserve any and all bile they get for it.

 

[dominishin]

Honestly who cares though, make figures like these exclusive so I don't have to stress over it. Make stuff people actually want normal releases.

Since both are releasing around the same time, hoping this doesn't mean that's how the paint on the purple coat version looks because it's way less accurate now.
