Comic Vine’s exclusive Tony “G-man” Guerrero reported about DC’s new Toys revealed at this month’s C2E2 (Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo).  Many new goodies have been unveiled from the new DC COLLECTIBLES (DC Direct’s new name) headquarters.  Here I will mention only those relevant to Gotham and Joker, since that is  the scope of this site, but more pictures can be seen at “G-Man’s” report HERE

From Arkham City Series 2, here is a closer look at the new figures ( And I know many of you were wanting to see them). Watch my earlier posts on these figures HERE and HERE

Don’t forget they will also release a ARKHAM CITY 2 JOKER TITAN FIGURE at the end of this year.  You can find pictures of this figure HERE and HERE

And I was surprised that G-Man could not get a shot of the most anticipated RA’S AL GHUL action figure…probably because DC does not have a working figure as they release these…Let’s hope they will have one at the NYCC this year, I promise to bring one to you as soon as I get one.  In the meantime, enjoy this Prototype figure  sculpted in Z-brush and taken directly from Paul Harding Studios.

My Enix Kai Joker

Got my beautiful ENIX KAI JOKER action figure this past Wednesday at my CLS and brought that baby home.

First thing I have to say, is that the figure are packed very tightly in the package so when you get yours PULL IT OUT VERY CAREFULLY or you end up with a very disjointed Joker. And it is A PAIN IN THE ASS to put the joints together (the hardest being the hip joint).

Then I have to say that the figure is really amazing on the detailing of the costume and face.  You can feel the texture of the fabric underneath your fingers and the deailed shoes finish the nice look.  Definitely better figure than the Arkham Asylum Series and the Mattel Legacy. The only that come close is the Arkham City LTD Ed Joker from NYCC, but I found it too grotesque for my taste.

This one in my opinion is just perfect. He comes with two sets of hands for multiple posing as well as a gun and a set of joke teeth. Now for you all to enjoy the figure, hopefully as much as I enjoyed it myself.

It is a larger reproduction from the Arkham Asylum series 1 Harley Quinn, but with much more points of articulation and the fact that it is Harley the one including a Scarface puppet accessory instead of the original that appeared with the Joker figure.  Here are some pics:
