“All it takes is just one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.”
– The Joker
Get ready for a wild ride with Sideshow and Hot Toys as they unleash this totally twisted sixth scale, fully articulated figure of the clown prince of chaos – the Joker!
This fantastic piece is based on Batman: The Killing Joke, the groundbreaking, mind-blowing graphic novel by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland, in which we are taken on a wild ride through the twisted mind of the Joker! We’re talkin’ a dark, sinister carnival of chaos, where Commissioner Gordon is kidnapped and subjected to some seriously brutal psychological horror, all intertwined with flashbacks showing readers the Joker’s twisted origin, his demented philosophy, and the unsettling question he poses: Can one bad day really push a person over the brink into madness?!?! Probably, but only if you’re already standing ON the brink!
This masterclass of madness comes with not one, but two brand new, totally terrifying head sculpts! Each one boasts those creepy, rolling eyeballs that will send shivers down your spine, along with intricate wrinkles, deathly pale skin, and the sort of curly green hair that any crazy clown-girl would just love to run her fingers through! Head Sculpt #1 is sporting a grin so wide, you’ll need to adjust your jawline to match! It comes with a detachable, magnetically-attached tongue that will make you scream in terror. Head Sculpt #2 sports a squinting, grinning expression so sick, it’ll make you wonder if the Joker just winked at you from the shadows. Or worse – shot you in the gut then took some photographs…
The Clown Prince of Crime is dressed to impress in his comic-accurate and shockingly realistic attire! Our man is sporting:
- a purple coat and jacket over a yellow waistcoat — a combo so wacky, it’s like he raided a thrift store and came out victorious
- a black shirt that’s as dark as the Joker’s soul
- a black belt, probably meant to make the Bat think he’s taken up martial arts
- purple pants, because if they were neon green that would be both wildly inaccurate an in extremely bad taste
- a removable hat, which is so much better than those pesky hats that stick to your head like a panicked octopus!
This Joker figure also comes with eight interchangeable and highly expressive hands, so that he can tell deaf, alternate universe versions of Batman precisely where he can stick that Batarang!
And, because it’s not enough to just have an axe to grind, the Joker comes with some seriously sick weapons – a knife, a pistol that shoots a “Click Click Click” flag, a camera (because if all else fails, you can just resort to throwing it at Batman’s head and then running away), a cane (useful for bashing naughty bats on the head), and a joker card (for those impromptu card games with the Caped Crusader).
This epic setup is completed by a backdrop featuring the iconic comic book cover art from Batman: The Killing Joke – all mounted on a specially designed figure stand, because who doesn’t need a little deadly humor in their lives?!
So, are you ready to join the Dark Knight’s arch-nemesis in his lair of lunacy? Pre-order now and get ready to unleash your inner villain!
