Hot Toys' The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale Bank Robber The Joker

Product Description

Under special arrangement with Hong Kong toymaker Hot Toys, DC Direct is proud to offer this 1:6 scale figure of The Joker dressed as a bank robber, just as he appears in the smash hit The Dark Knight!

Dressed in the shirt, suit, belt and shoes the character wears for the bank robbery scene in the movie, the figure stands approximately 12 inches tall and features more than 32 points of articulation. An interchangeable head, clown mask, handgun, MK760 rifle, and a luggage bag filled with grenades are also included. The figure comes with a display stand and is packaged in a 4-color box. Limited Edition!

Very very Awesome, one minor flaw5
I won't write too much on the figure because basically everyone else has covered it. This really is one REALISTIC looking figure. I have both this one and the DC Direct Joker (retail 89.99 when I got that one) and they are both fantastic. I thought that the DC Direct one looked very realistic (especially over the other Hot toys joker doll)until I bought this one. This one is truly amazing. The only thing I want to mention that I don't think I have read in the other reviews is that the Stand for the figure is terrible. It is not a very secure stand and does not hold it very well at all. I mean, it works, but I would not take it over the standard stand that clips around their waist or holds the figure up by their shoulders. But does that make this figure not worth getting? Heck No! this thing is a must have for people that love to collect figures and are big fans of the Joker.

Best Bank Robber Joker Ever5
In The Dark Knight, Joker and his thugs rob Gotham National Bank of $86,000. This toy is basically a toy of that Joker. He comes with a wide variety of acessories. He comes with as always, his bank robber mask which actually looks different from the original one. Whereas it has the mouth open a bit and made of rubbery plastic. Whereas on the original DC Direct Joker, the mouth is shut and it's made of plastic. He comes with the gun that Dopey and Happy used to get to the roof of the bank. He comes with a duffle bag containing the bombs. He also comes with once again Joker cards and a stack of green (money). He also comes with another head which can't fit the mask but for display. It has this head attached to it when you buy it. It also comes with a stand. The head that is made for the mask has the hair rolled down. He comes with 2 boxes. One has a Joker card in the style of a dollar bill. Another one modeled after his bank robber mask and other pictures that you seen online. So the only backfire is that this is shorter than the original Joker. I believe wherever you don't buy this from simply makes you...stranger.

The Holy Grail of all Joker figures. There is none higher.5
Wow, just WOW. I think this takes the cake as the coolest Joker figure out there. Hot Toys have outdone themselves with this one. The detail on this figure, especially the facial detail and paint job, have to be seen to be believed as to just how realistic it is.

Some people have said that the costume here is a little bit "boring," but I think this diversion from the typical purple suit is what makes this figure unique and original, a different take on the Joker and his character. Some other pluses:

-Lots of cool accessories. Comes with "Grumpy" clown mask, handgun with removable clip, MK760 with removable clip, 4 grenades, 3 smoke grenades, luggage bag, and an extra head with an evil smirk expression. One recommendation: if you take it out of the box for display, put all the grenades into the luggage bag. They are fairly small and easy to lose otherwise.

-Spitting image of Heath Ledger. The Hot Toys' The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale The Joker, as awesome as it is, doesn't resemble Ledger that much.

If there's one small flaw with this figure (and a very small one at that), it's that the mask has a brand-new look to it and isn't weathered like in the movie. One can either leave it as is or try to custom-weather it a little.

At almost $200 this isn't pocket change, but trust me, it's worth every penny. Looking back now, it's almost unfathomable that many people paid over $300 on eBay for the Batman: The Dark Knight - The Joker with Crime Scene Evidence Movie Masters Joker figure only because it got pulled from store shelves. Someday this Bank Robber will be unavailable too (being a limited edition), and in this case paying the $200 is more than justifiable.

All in all, a must-own "Dark Knight" Joker figure. Most highly recommended.
