DC Direct has made their own 13" body for their super hero series. They are taller than 1:6 and I'm not sure about the Joker suit, but the super hero outfits are too big for regular 1:6 figures to wear. They were not made to be interchangeable with the regular 1:6 market.

if memory servers, joker was on the slimmer body, same as the DC direct Ledger jokers. i know the shirt, and vest from the ledger joker fit the Hot toyd truetype just fine, so That is where i would start.

i've been considering doing this as well, but i would imagine the sleeves of the jacket, and the legs of the pants would need some tailoring.

thanks for that, i did also consider jst building a hot toys joker frm scratch really, gathering all the bits together seperatly on ebay etc (hot toys body, hands, clothes, head etc) at least iknw the hot toys clothes would fit.
