Just surfing the net finding good stuff for the new site I found these incredible miniature pieces of art.  The company is called KNIGHT DESIGNS and are located in Europe, selling their kits world wide.The quality of the miniature is incredible, and for those with the talent to paint and assemble these kits, this is indeed a great way to express your artistic side.  The only thing is to find them (which I can of found a little hard, unless you knew what you were looking for, so I decided to help in your search for Joker miniatures).

They vary from 35 mm (about 1.4 inches) to 75 mm (about 3 inches) in height and the unpainted/un-assembled sets are varied in its content and made of white metal or high quality resin, reproducing even the smallest of details.  Here are a few samples of some of the kits that have been produced  and pay notice that at the time of this post, some of them might have sold out (*tear runs down cheek*)

And just so you know, they have acquired other licenses to miniaturize with the same quality and attention given to their Joker sets.

These sets come ready to be assembled and painted by you!

DC Collectibles announced at the end of last month that they are planning on releasing a new figure based on the INJUSTICE:  GODS AMONG US game play.  The new figure is going to be smaller than the previous one released this year and will provide a new sculpt.  Here is a preview of the figure:

DC Collectibles held a Q&A on their Facebook page about some of their products. They revealed a new Injustice Joker 3.75″ Figure. The image shows a work in progress sculpt, so some details may change. Other than that, for the most part, nothing too revealing. You can check out the rest of the Q&A, and the photo of The Joker, after the jump.

Here comes a very well accomplished realistic portrait of Joker’s henchwoman HARLEY QUINN as it  was concieved and executed by artist ADMIRA WIJAYA.  The version have ben based in Harley’s appearance in Arkham City game last year.   I bow to Admira’s talent.  Very nice pic and realism is beyond description. Hope you all Jokerholics and Harleyholics like it.

Nice little article  preparing us on what to expect from HARLEY QUINN  when she stars in villain’s month DETECTIVE COMICS #23.2:

Following the explosive events of FOREVER EVIL #1, the Suicide Squad has disbanded. No longer a member of a team, Harley Quinn finds herself free for the first time without any ties to a particular group. On her quest for self-discovery, she returns to Gotham City – but it’s not the same place it was before she left it. So naturally, Harley has a little scheme to shake things up. But that’s all I’ll say about that for now …While Harley’s origin was told in the pages of SUICIDE SQUAD, there’s an untold chapter that will be revealed for the first time in this unique one-shot. You may think you know the whole story of her transition into a super-villain, but when you read the very first meeting between her and The Joker, you’ll see a whole different side of Harley than you’re used to. And for the diehard Harley Quinn fans out there, keep your eyes peeled for a few Easter eggs scattered throughout the issue – like a reference to THE BATMAN ADVENTURES: MAD LOVE (Harley’s first appearance in comics) and a nod to actress Arleen Sorkin, who voiced Harley on the television show, Batman: The Animated Series.

Bob Harras has announced some details of the upcoming appearace of the Joker in October’s BATMAN #23.1.  Here is an excerpt of what he had said in at the DC COMICS site:

I also told you that a classic and unexpected Batman villain will be appearing in the upcoming Villains Month one-shot, BATMAN #23.1: JOKER. Well today, I’m pleased to tell you that the villain I was talking about was none other than Jackanapes (who readers last saw in BATMAN, INCORPORATED #5). BATMAN #23.1: JOKER takes place many years ago – back when The Joker’s face was still intact. In fact, this unique one-shot marks one of the earliest appearances we’ve seen of this notorious villain so far in the New 52. While at a zoo, the Joker will have a flashback to a childhood memory that will trigger his need to take Jackanapes under his wing. It is here that Joker will take on a new, twisted role: that of a mentor. But why is he training Jackanapes to be a villain? What use will he have for him? –

Today’s spotlight is especially important to me, because in a humble effort to expand my collection I was able to get a hold of a very rare japanese figure (I’ve been hunting one of these since it’s release). It is the TAKARA TOMY 1/6th Vintage Joker figure from TOMY ENTERMEDIA. And here is my new figure:

arkhamorigins-02In the gaming industry there are no boundaries, which is good when you have a potentially good character that with a little tweak could become a great character.  The latest character revamp in the GOTHAM CITY universe seems to be the snake-like criminial known simply as COPPERHEAD.

The earliest of incarnations of this character have been male, but for the third game of the ARKHAM CITY franchise: ARKHAM ORIGINS, the game designers made COPPERHEAD a FEMALE and gave her quite dangerous and sleek moves.  I loved the preview of the character showed at the ARKHAM ORIGINS panel.  Just take a look…

From this    copperheadold to this   copperheadnew

Sexy and dangerous…. even Joker would love a woman like that!

No question that conventions spark the creativity of fans (an companies alike) when presenting their creations at this monumental events.  SDCC is no exception being the biggest in the country.  On the convention floor there were LEGO sculptures of Batman, Robin and the Clown Prince of Crime.  I’ve seen all the efforts involved in creating sculptures like these (at my local Lego Store) so kudos to the architects and workers involved in making these works of art. 

Here is the HARLEQUIN OF HATE in all his LEGO GLORY!

And check the Batman and Robin sculptures too!
