Posted on: March 31st, 2009 New Hot Toys Joker = The Greatest Toy Ever Made

mmsdxjoker24__scaled_600It’s moments like these that make being a toy-collector, a humbling, difficult and often shaming past-time, worth it. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars amassing a collection that I can be proud of, one that I can treasure behind glass doors to show off like a mad and magnificent museum; instead of ancient idols I have Hal Jordan and his power ring.

But then the Hot Toys company had to go and make this, the item that has essentially nullified my entire toy collection. For you see, after this everything else will just look like shit. Ladies and Gentlemen… toy enthusiasts… collectors… I present to you the greatest figure ever made, the Hot Toys MMS DX01 Dark Knight 1/6th Scale Joker Collectible Figure.

The figure features:

- Two character models: the police officer Joker AND the film’s traditional look.

- Police version includes: head (without makeup), cop hat, badge, uniform and M1 garande rifle.

- Traditional version includes: head (with makeup), overcoat, sport coat, vest, tie, shirt, pants, shoes, socks, suspenders and grenade rig.

- Five grenades, knives and deck of cards.

- Seven alternate poseable hands.

- Over 35 points of articulation.

- Stands approx. 12″.

- Heads feature a new Parallel Eyeball Rolling System with translucent iris;  this is a new feature, a “simultaneous positionable eyeball function”. Did you hear me? The eyes move! In natural direction!

- Comes with a deluxe figure stand with LED lights.

I can’t believe what I’m seeing. This figure will no doubt sell out fast and be in crazy high demand like the other Hot Toys figures. I’m sure it will run well into the lat $100, if not $200+ price tag, but if there was anything to center a collection around and leave your friends and family in awe, it is this.

The figure is slated for release in late Q2, early Q3 of this year, so in other words, not soon enough. Check out the official Hot Toys page here. Check out some of the amazing pics below and courtesy of toynewsi.com.
