For those out there searching frantically for more Joker statues, search no more. 2012 promises to be a good year for Joker collectors as many goodies are going to be available. I have been able to gather a summary of the new Joker statues to be released in 2012 so you can make your wish list as to which ones you would like to get and which ones you want to put in the trash (let’s admit it…not all Joker statues are made the same and though we are all Jokerholics, there are some statues that are just not at our standards). Anyways, that would be for you to decide as these nice statues are coming our way:
- SIDESHOW JOKER PREMIERE STATUE AND SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE VARIANT
- This one actually, I have posted before when I reported Sideshow’s previews at SDCC this year and a later update on the figure. The good thing is that I was able to get a hold of some pics of the variant version this time. The statue, to be released late in the second quarter of 2012, captures the Clown Prince of Crime in approximately 1:4 scale, with an intricate real fabric costume that features a fully lined topcoat with pose-able tails. The figures is extremely detailed, a characteristic that has set Sideshow ahead of its competitors. This is a real work of art.
- Price $349.99 (If ordered through Sideshow site which offers a Flex payment plan for those interested)
-
The Sideshow Exclusive variant sports a slightly different pose and a hat. ( But I personally prefer the pose in the regular Premium edition. The malicious look fits Joker well).
2. BLACK AND WHITE: LOTD #50 JOKER STATUE
-
This would be the third version of the Clown Prince of Crime under this collection. The honor goes to Brian Bolland’s representation of the Joker as he drew it on the cover of Legends of the Dark Knight #50. The release date is still to be determined, but the sculpture has already being showcased on NYCC (and I didn’t see it at SDCC)

3. JUST US LEAGUE OF STUPID HEROES JOKER STATUE series 2
-
Ok, I don’t really know where this one comes from, don’t even remember seeing a series one, but what the heck…it is another Joker sculpture coming out next year. This series will include a Batman and Robin sculptures as well, and I don’t know you guys, but this Joker reminds me too much of the version of the Clown Prince made by MAD magazine. Maybe I’m seeing things.

Produced by DC DIRECT and expected to be released on September 2012
