Apr 8 2009Super Realisitic Dark Knight Joker Figures

FIRST LOL MATE JOKER IS FUKIN AWESOME

ohhh, funnnn.. i wanna look just like him!

seriously though, the detail is amazing!

nice!

Nice detail

This is a great looking figure. Glad to see some action figure love on here, keep it coming.

C'mon man this is ridiculously awesome!

Although I don't remember the Joker using a potato peeler but it's certainly believable!

Nice job!

...and by love I meant appreciation... not the physical kind...
because I know you're fond of that.
That's the real "action" figure.

Wow!! Those have the best detail I've ever seen for an action figure, my inner nerd is in shock

wow... that's so good it's almost creepy.

FAKE!!!!

This is a comoplete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max was fishing and the boat got attacked by a giant shark. Right before the shark got Max, he was able to shoot it, and it had swallowed a compressed air tank earlier, when he hit the tank with a bullet, the tank exploded and saved him from the shark. This was a lot like the time that he was in Haiti, getting attacked by Al Giardello and he exploded him with a small scuba tank.

#7 you beat me to it!

Dude, thats realistic.
I'm gonna go find out how tall they are.

Wow !! Good workmanship there !

I have to agree that it's fake. Unless they made the hands and fingers fully articulated, which I truly doubt. Look at the closeups showing the hands. They are all posed differently.

I'm just sayin'

um... Trey... the last pic there's a pile of hands....

LOL I AM SUCH A FANNY, I HIT REFRESH ALL THE TIME LOL I AM A REAL LOSER

Ha ha trey. You got burned. Way to focus on all the little details... except the pile of hands.

I'm just sayin'

Err

When the joker got caught and they were going through his belongings. There's pile of knives and one potato peeler. Bring on the humiliation. Yes I'm a fan.

AWESOME!

@15 & 18 - Pile of hands aside... What about the eyeballs? Check the closeups about the 3rd and 4th picture down. Articulated eyeballs?
I'm not saying it's fake. I just wanna know how it's made?

However expensive they are, I bet they're still cheaper then that crappy t-virus vial on E-bay.

Nevermind, you good-for-nothin's

@ 20: Touchè

^ Touche

@13 Read the first sentence again.

Does it also O.D.?

Mine may not be the most popular opinion on this subject, but.....

I think Jack Nicholson was a better joker.

And I think if Heath Ledger wouldn't have died, he wouldn't have had the same praises.

I actually think Aaron Eckhart did a just-as-good, if not, better acting job then the late great broke back mountaineer.

IMHO

IS nOT FAKE

is real, Hot TOYS Is known for the detail (AND the PRICE) of their figures,
it looks really nice BUT

the bad thing about the Hot TOYS/ SIDESHOW toys is that they are VERY FRAGILE and get damaged easily, when it deals with changeable heads and hands or clothing you have to be super careful cuz those toys damage really easily trust me i know,

i wish they would make detail toys that were also not so delicate

i second #7's comment.

when does he use a potato peeler??

this is great though. might be fake and just for promotion, or just a concept, but with all that detail, this would be one expensive figurine.

It's not fake or a mock-up; that's the prototype toy. I am pretty sure the head sculpt, moveable eyes aside, is the same as their Bank Robber Joker figure that came out a few months ago, with a new paint job. It should retail for about $175 when it hits stateside. I have the first two Hot Toys Joker toys, and I'm kinda upset that this one seems to be the "ultimate" toy, but it won't stop me from buying it.

Awesome. They're going for roughly $250 Canadian on eBay.

..but it's only a pre-order

#29...Have you even been on this website before?

I agree with @28, however I think Cesear Romero was a better Joker.

The movie was good but very overrated, try again with a Batman character who isn't the dumbest/shortest guy in the movie and who doesn't sound like the singer from Cannibal Corpse.

This makes me tingle in my Happy Place.

28 & 35... Nicholson was great, Romero was nothing to sneeze at either, but in terms of capturing the whole "so unhinged there's no reasoning with him" aspect of the Joker I think Ledger was amazing. That said I do agree he would have been passed over for the Oscar just like anyone in any other comic book move has been.. had he not died.

Really I think (and agree with 35) that Batman coulda been better himself. I don't think that Bale is a terrible Bruce Wayne at all, could even be a decent Batman... but really... go get a sucrets or something, maybe some soothing herbal tea. :-P

@37 Ledger may have captured the whole "unhinged" thing, but that's actually not really Joker's schtick. In pretty much every incarnation except Ledgers, the Joker... um.. jokes. I don't mean the 1 pencil gag, I mean guns that say bang, sqirting flowers, electric buzzers, extending boxing gloves, you know, jokes. Psychos are a dime a dozen these days. A guy who'll shoot your daughter, strip her naked, take pictures, abduct you, and drag you naked through a carnival dark ride escorted by mutant midgets while projecting images of your naked daughter writhing in agony on the walls... for a laugh.

That's a Joker

@7

No The Joker doesnt use a potato peeler at any point but when he gets taken into custody the policeman pulling alsorts of knives out his jacket pocket, that potato peeler is one of them.

@38 You're basing all of this on the old 60's comic books. Christopher Nolan isn't working with those comics, he's working from a later batch of them which were darker and took the characters in slightly different directions. In that series, the supervillains have been driven insane by the Scarecrow's drug in the Narrows, and everything is much darker, more violent, more serious, more vulgar.

Nicholson was great working as the Saturday Morning cartoon Joker. He was perfection incarnate, even better than Romero, who was just pure camp, like the whole TV series was. It's not really a comparison that can be made. They're completely different character interpretations.

Okay, ledger dies, movie makes billions. I bet there's more to squeeze from the nerd teet

This toy is so realistic looking I wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping until it was locked in a gun box and tossed into the freezer...yeah, I'm S-A-D-I-S-T-I-C.
oh and the toy's hands and feet were put into a ziploc bag...that will stop it.
Pretty boy ain't smart...no where near as smart as my personal bodyguard: NINJA CAT!
PEW PEW PEW!

@38 While I do wax nostalgic about the 60's comic book Joker the use of gag paraphanalia is still seen in more contemporary dipictions like the "Hush" storyline. I did also reference Alan Moore's "Killing Joke" storyline from 1988, a definitive Joker story in my book. i agree that no fair comparison can be made between Nolan's Joker and the Joker from previous incarnations, comic or otherwise. Nolan does seem to retain the idea of Batman and Joker being reflections of each other, mirror images, but it's here IMHO that Nolan fails the characters.

Nolan's Joker is not unlike the charasmatic psychopaths that populate the serial killer genre, as cold, calculating, and inventive as number of peers from Hannibal Lector to colonal Kurtz, from Bale's own Patrick Bateman to Jigsaw. Ruthless, cunning, unfettered by remorse, and highly intellegent, Nolan's Joker stays steps ahead of law enforcement, and criminals alike with razor sharp focus and unerring preparidness.

Unfotunately, this leaves Batman with the flipside qualities. Batman is distracted, unprepared, unable to anticipate, dumber... a gadget laden poser relying on his much smarter associate Lucius Fox for brain power. Gone is the great detective who is unmatched in wits and reasoning prowess who has honed his mind and body to laser precision, matched with a near obsessive quest for justice.

Nolan's Batman is reduced to a dull 2nd banana to the charming but humorless Joker. Ledger portrays Joker as a psychopathic archetype neither unique or befiiting the namesake, (arguable closer resembling the aforementioned charcter "Hush") but all the more watchable when compared to Bale's anemic Batman.

I miss Batman's intellect, reason, and will facing off against his perfect foil in Joker's lunacy, chaos, and delerium. And as DC comics retools it's comic movie properties toward their recent cash cow, they may soon find that simply making a film "dark" does not equal "good".

^ Cool story, bro.

That's no Doll! That IS Heath Ledger!!! ooooooeeeeeeeoooowwww (insert scary sci-fi theremin music here) Ever seen Childs Play? That's what happened to him. Heath didn't die. His sole has incorporated the body of a Dark Night promo doll. Not only his eyes like @21 had mentioned, but look how his neck is also in a different position in pictures #4,5,6,7 and then 9 from the top. Straight up yet slightly tilted to the left in pic #4 from the top. Then leaning forward in #5. To being Tilted down and cocked to the right in #9. All without seems. Heath is back and he wants revenge. Or at least his cut of one the highest grossing movies of all time. Which ever comes first. aaaawwwwhhhhh run for or lives.

Seriously though if it is real I have to have one. Such a great job on the detail. I doubt that an action figure of that size could encompass motors and a power source to move the eyes via remote control. But wouldn't that be awesome. and also be great for creeping out my kids and guests.

Without the remote eyes I still think 200 bucks is a little less then what I thought they would charge. Just look at even the wardrobe. Amazing detail. I don't know. If I had enough Bazooka Joe tickets I'd definitely buy one.

@MooseKnuckle: I love you.

Im going to undress him and take him away to my sex dungeon. I wonder if the family jewels are realistic too....

Awethumb.

This is awesome, but one thing I don't get, do the eyes move? because in the 4th pic the eyes are at the top, looking up-ish, and in the next they are pointed more downward

first

Obvious photoshop is obvious.

Take your snake oil elsewhere asshat.

It is NOT a fake. Here is the official Hot Toys website:
