SSC The Joker 1/6th Scale figure

[Rodan]

I have two questions.

1. Is this Joker figure from a specific comic book/graphic novel/ era (golden age/silver/modern...)???
To me, it looks very similar to the "Kiling Joke" Joker, but not..really.

2.Knowing the history of the company, do you think SSC will make more joker figures in the near or perhaps the distant future? If so, what kind of joker figures?

I think they go for a generic joker, one that represents all jokers, a "definitive joker" if you want... you are right, it looks like "the killing joke" joker, but not 100%
I really need to see the production pieces before preorder it, I think SSC will mess up the clothes

This Joker will be the "definitive" Joker for them, similar to the way they did their Marvel Premium Formats back in the beginning where they were combinations of classic traits.

They will absolutely make more Jokers down the line, even artist specific ones but not of a bit. Joker is a cash cow as is Batman and I expect multiples but I would expect a few in the Batline before getting back to another offering. Although I wouldn't count out a SSC Ex that has a slight tweak since that is right up their alley.

It's going to be great for parts. Can't wait to see the price tag on him.

I'd class it as a sort of Bolland Joker but not exactly Killing Joke. I

It's the only one I can see that's similar to it.

Usually when it comes to comic characters (at least for Star Wars) they'll use a certain artist as inspiration but still have their own take on the character.

And it will more than likely be a "distant future" if they ever make another one though I don't see why at the moment. This one looks like he's coming with tons of stuff to suit Joker in just about most for a of the character

That's a good photo! The face and the costume look very similar.

That's good to know. I'm not sure if I want to get this figure yet. I was thinking that maybe they'll do another version from a different era, maybe one with a more "classic" face and hair style (if that's even possible). I do like the silver and bronze age joker with the "Wolverine" hair style. However, I also love his look in the killing joke, so I'll wait for the final product, see what it looks like. I just hope there is no pre-order deposit like the HT2.0.

You won't have to worry about an NRD. Those are only for things that cost $250 and up which I doubt this will cost

I've always loved Bolland's Batman and Joker. He's been my favorite Batman artist for a very long time. Hopefully, Sideshow will do a matching Batman, some day.

 

[bloodgear]

Ironically, with a slight adjustment to the headsculpt, the SS one coming would make a slightly passable Bolland Bats.

But I prefer classic Bolland Bats.

I can't wait for this one. I've always loved Brian Bollands Joker. It was Killing Joke that really turned me into a Joker fan. Hell It's what inspired me to make this all those years ago.

Although this new Sideshow figure isn't quite the same as Bollands version it'll do.

Simply amazing, sueworld!

 

[sueworld]

Thank you so much. I did have a version with real hair, but can't seem to find the photos right now.

I wonder if other stores like BBTS,CSC, and AEC will have this figure for a better price? The only problem, those stores don't get the SS EX accessories, not that this figure comes with an EX, but who knows... it might come with something unique...

They will and it will have an exclusive. We'll know everything but the price on Tuesday. Price when it goes up on Thursday.

Have they been adding that to the pic reveals now? Its been so long since they've previewed a 1:6 figure that I haven't been keeping up with the new experience site.
