Play Arts is releasing another action figure featuring the CLOWN PRINCE OF CRIME in 2015, but this one is very different from the other ones released before. See my previous report HERE

While they have released figures based on the ARKHAM ASYLUM  and ARKHAM CITY JOKER, as well as a THE DARK KNIGHT JOKER and am ARKHAM ORIGINS JOKER, this one is a new and different interpretation with no real base in any of the continuities we know (unless there is some JOKERMANGA out there that I don’t know of and if is…please let me know).  Anyways, this Joker is beautifully stylized, and so wild in it’s design that it does not matter if it does not belong in the Batman Universe, it is a beautiful piece to own.  I love the exaggerated and flamboyant style of the whole assemble the figure wears and the face is definitely a beauty to see…let me show you what I mean with a preview.

Figure is to be released on 2015 with a price tag very close to the $100. Click on the thumbnails for more….

Just finished reading my copy of BATMAN #35 and my heart jumped out of my chest and I smiled widely .  After almost two years of absence guess who’s back in town ( I’ll probably should recommend Jokerholics to re-read Batman 13-17 to refresh your memory of past events….who knows what’s in store for Gotham now…..).  Here is a preview:

ArkhamoriginJoker01Hey guys, and you thought the Joker could not sing…

In a tribute to Hank Williams’s COLD, COLD HEART, the Joker sings this little song in Arkham Origins (well kinda…it’s really a video montage of scenes from the game, but the song is cool…).  Thanks to our friends of Batman Arkham Videos for the nice video post. Now enjoy the video…

Just got my Previews this month and to my surprise I see my dream come true… (I had mentioned this in a post about a similar statue, but a private commission.  See post HERE).

A Joker and Harley Quinn statue based on the Alex Ross design from the Harley Quinn graphic novel….AWESOOOOME!.  It is ready to order from your local comic book shop or toy stores online (ENTERTAINMENT EARTH, BIG BAD TOY STORY, and others).  Prices range between $199.99 and $249.99.  Since it is limited to 5200 I already put my order.  Here is a pic of what it will look like…

More Joker merchandise in a future post…this being Batman’s 75th has inspired companies for more Joker goodies to come….YAY!!!

Joker Art For the Masses: Re-imagining Alex Ross

Everybody remembers the great classic of Alex Ross (know to some as TANGO WITH EVIL) where the classic Joker and Harley are depicted in a black background as in the middle of a dance.

Now artist Thor Mangila has taken a new interpretation on the timeless classic.  What if the same painting was made using the current NEW52 Joker and Harley?  Wonder no more and enjoy this work of art.  Nicely done in my opinion…

As announced in Toy Fare this year, Hot Toys is releasing a new version of the TDK Bank Robber Joker. This new action figure includes new head sculpts and weapons along with the same clothing style that we saw with the bank robber version 1.0. Also, in the spirit of the 1989 Joker Mime version, It includes a nice diorama scene of the bus smashing into the bank.

Here is a preview of the figure. Release date TBD (at least I have not seen it advertised in my latest PREVIEWS catalog…)

Also from PLAY ARTS comes a new line of figures called DC VARIANTS and basically they are re-imagining of some of DC’s heroes and villains.  In this series, with a release date to be determined, Joker and Harley Quinn steal the show with this stylized version of their DC Counterparts.  To me they look a little ANIME…don’t you think? (Thanks to TOYARK for the pictures)

This one comes a little late so sorry for not posting sooner but PLAY ARTS announced in the TOY FAIR 2014 earlier this year their new ARKHAM ORIGINS JOKER FIGURE. Like their previous Joker versions, this one will come with uncanny detail from the videogame, great craftsmanship (that has always categorized PLAY ARTS) and a number of accessories including additional hands and weapons as well as another head sculpt.  Release date to be determined at press time, but I will be putting this one on my wish list for sure… Here is a preview of the figure to delight your eyes.

New BTAS Action Figures starring…JOKER!

DC Collectibles has announced the release of new action figures based on the BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and NEW BATMAN ADVENTURE SERIES.  The figures are totally new based on original designs by Bruce Timm, and from the looks of the preview…they look awesome. I especially like the more detailed designs and Joker’s more menacing stance is incredible (when compared with the more cartoony version of the original action figures released in the 90’s)

The figures include Two-Face, Joker, Poison Ivy, Robin and Mr. Freeze and are being released in two waves.  Joker , Poison Ivy and Robin will be released by the end of the year. Here is a preview:
