Hong Kong Gets The Coolest ‘Dark Knight’ Toys
A quick trip to my local Smyths Toy Store is all it takes to show that movie tie-in action figures leave a lot to be desired. Hulk on a quad-bike? The Spiderman SpiderBike? C’mon!
However, a quick look at the figure of The Joker below from the forthcoming Dark Knight movie makes you realise that this is not your regular, badly crafted movie knock-off.
The one on the left is what Hong Kong shoppers will be getting while the less cool one is what will be heading to the US. Hot Toys HK is responsible for the freakily life-like and menacing Heath Ledger Joker. Just check out the other stunning shots of Joker and The Batman figures, as well as full details, after the jump. With the Batman shot - the more lifelike one is again on the left.
The Joker collectible figure stands approximately 31cm tall, features with highly articulated Hot Toys figure body with over 32 points of articulation. The highly realistic head sculpture and painting of THE JOKER features with his cold stare, evil intent and his remarkable paints and scars.
This incredible collectible figure also features:
* Authentic likeness of the JOKER
* Purple overcoat
* Grey inside coat
* Tie
* Vest
* Shirt
* Pants
* Belt
* Colorful socks
* Leather-like shoes
* JOKER cards set
* Extendable Knife
* Currency notes
* Two sets of interchangeable gloved hands
* Figure display base featuring THE DARK KNIGHT logo and The Joker nameplate
Retail Price: HK$ 930.00/ pc
Preorder deadline: June 5, 2008
Target shipment: JULY, 2008
The figures don’t come cheap at around £60 a pop - you can find them here - but if you’re going to buy just one action figure for yourself - I mean your kid - then this Joker will take some beating.-Martin Lynch
