And here is the prototype for Hot Toys’ The Dark Knight Joker figure and just like their Batman (original costume), it is looking rather tastey. Again, how the final production ones will turn out is an entirely different matter.

Just take a look at this figure! OK, it is questionable whether the face sculpt closely resembles that of Heath Ledger’s character but one cannot deny, this figure oozes detail. Look at the costume - the shirt, the socks, the shoes, everything looks awesome!

Will Takara also make a Genx Core Joker? I bloody well hope so! But in truth, it’ll be hard to top this Hot Toys offering…

On display in Hong Kong. This figure on display still has the ‘prototype’ feel to it. It is probably the exact same figure used for the product photos. I seriously doubt this is the final production figure. See the Batman on display here.
