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!

They have revealed a new DC LEGO set for 2014:  BATMAN THE JOKER STEAMROLLER 76013.

This new Joker LEGO set promises not only to be fun to assemble, but will also include a Batgirl, Damian Wayne Robin, Batman and Joker henchman figures along with what probably is the most detailed Joker mini-figure  from any previous LEGO set. The set will be available in stores on January 1, 2014.

Here are some pictures for the Jokerholics to enjoy:

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.

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:

More pics from our friends at Sideshow depicting the new Harley Quinn figure to be released on February of 2014.  The figure is basically a companion of the 1/6th Joker figure to be released later this year. 

I don’t know about you guys but I have no idea who came witht he idea of that hideous corsette for Harley.  If they were doing a classic Joker figure why not follow a masterpiece like that with a classic Harley?  Everybody knows the regular Harley Quinn had no corsette.  Is this DC and Sideshow’s idea of hybridize Harley with the new more modern look she has taken, just to make her “sexier”?  I would not believe it past DC Comics, specially after the more sexual tone the new 52 line has taken lately. It’s just a personal opinion.

Now to the important info.  The figure will also include two head sculpts and accessories:

  • Fully Articulated Body
  • Two Harlequin jester heads with alternate expressions; grinning and mischievous
  • Fabric Costume includes Black and Red Bodysuit, corset, lace detailing and jester tights
  • Giant Wooden Mallet (Printed Your Face Here)
  • Oversized Pop-Gun
  • Customized Boots (Engraved KA-POW on soles)
  • Variety of interchangeable hands for various gags and tricks, including:
  • Brass knuckle fist (Engraved HA HA)
  • Hand with syringe
  • Sideshow Exclusive: Engraved Butcher’s Knife

 Here are the pics:

I really am waiting for the release of this figure.  I had collected the other Kai Arts figures (Joker, Joker Black, and Harley Quinn) and have to say that the quality of the craftmanship is impressive for such a small action figure (as compared with the much larger Hot Toys and Enterbay).  Here is a video I found reviewing the figure and makes me even more curious.  I need to get my hands on this figure.

Funko is releasing another series of figurines from the DC Universe.  This time it is Gotham theme as they release a series of 20 different figurines ( about 2-3 inches tall) packed individually.  The only draw back of the whole series…you’d never know which figure you’d be getting until you open each box.  Anyways, they are ready to pre-order HERE  ($6 each or $125 whole case) and I think that the series looks very cute as a whole.  The series includes:

  • Three Random Blue Costume  Batman figures
  • Three Random Black Costume Batman figures
  • Three random Classic Joker figures
  • Three Random Dark Knight Joker figures
  • Three Random Batgirls figures
  • Two Random Penguins figures
  • Two Random Catwoman Figures
  • One  Riddler Figure

Here is a Preview:

Looking at this one (though I would have preferred a larger pic and maybe more pics from other sources) I think Cesar Romero would be proud.  YES! it even has his famous painted over moustache…
