Toys and Games Reviews of Hot Toys' The Dark Knight: 1:6 Scale Bank Robber The Joker
Customer Review: After a Little Work, Simply Stunning
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have read my reviews of the other figures in Hot Toys' TDK line, you know that I think they are some of the finest movie licensed products ever released. This figure, after a bit of work out of the box, fits the bill as well.
Much was made when the first Joker was released, and while it was simply stunning in its execution and attention to detail, perhaps the biggest factor in any Joker figure--Heath Ledger's likeness in the film--wasn't quite present. The headsculpt, while exquisite in its own right, wasn't pulled off the screen like the other figure's headsculpts were. So HT went back to work and remedied the situation by giving us a new character and the best headsculpt available on the market.
Out of the box, the figure is quite underwhelming. The new headsculpt aside, the suit was a bit wrinkled, the undershirt not straight, and the figure looks quite plain. After about 20 minutes of straightening up and changing out the left hand (the peg stayed in the body this time!!) the figure started coming together. Ever since I saw the promo pics of the figure, I knew I wanted the stance that depicted for the product on this page. Once he was there, I had to step back and say "wow."
Unlike the regular Joker, this figure is able to "hunch" a bit better to match what we saw on the screen. The mask fits perfectly on the additional headsculpt and the additional glove holds it tightly as well. Again as in the other HT reviews, I don't think the figure would stand on its own forever, so I utilized the handy included stand.
So what do you get for almost $200? A great figure, the best headsculpt available, an alternate headsculpt, the bank robbery mask, two extra hands, jokerized $1 bills, jokerized playing cards, a glock with extended clip, a machine gun used during the Batpod scenes, and incredible duffle bag, four grenades, three smoke grenades, and a foam punchout to keep the grandes separated in the bag.
While not as detailed (for obvious reasons) as the original Joker, this version is certainly worth the investment, especially if you have the regular joker and want to change the headsculpts. In the end, it becomes a stunning addition to your collection that will have onlookers in awe. It definitley looks like Heath stepped off the screen and into a display case. Check out my pics to see what I mean ;)
