When I got the Arkham City Joker/Robin set from Walmart, I also found, hidden on the back of a few boxes the LEGACY DARK KNIGHT BATMAN and POLICE GUARD JOKER WAVE TWO. Had to make a decision, so Arkham City Joker left with me while this Joker had to wait a litte before joining the ranksof the JOKER’S FUNHOUSE: A MUSEUM. Anyways, wanted to share a few of the pictures I took of it so you could enjoy it.
In one of my little excursions to Walmart, I was surprised to see the LEGACY EDITION ARKHAM CITY JOKER and ROBIN set for sale. This is a collector’s set including the ARKHAM CITY Joker and the hooded version of Robin. Here are some pics of the figures in question. This one will be added to the JOKER’S FUNHOUSE SOON!

- Presenting classic tale collected from Dark Victory #0-13, continues the story of the LONG HALLOWEEN.It is early in Batman’s crimefighting career, when James Gordon, Harvey Dent, and the vigilante himself were all beginning Gotham protectors. Once a town controlled by organized crime, Gotham city suddently finds itself being run by lawless freaks such as Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, and the Joker. Witnessing his city dark evolution, the Dark Knight completes his transformation into the city’s greatest defender. He faces multiple threats, including the seeming return of a serial killer called Holiday. Batman’s previous investigation of Holiday’s killings revealed more than one person was responsible for the murders. So the question remains: who is committing Holiday’s crimes this time? and how many will die before Batman learns the truth.

Just wanted to announce that the JOKER’S LAIR has acquired two new Harley figures to add to the already large Harley collection at the JOKER’S FUNHOUSE MUSEUM.
The first one is the DC DIRECT AME-COMI HEROINE SERIES MINI HARLEY. This Harley is a counterpart of the AME-COMI Full size figure (two times as big) and shows a beautiful posoe of Harley, tiptoing with her oversize gun ready for action. The figure was sculpted by Sam Greenwell.
no images were found
The second figure is the MUSEUM QUALITY HARLEY QUINN STATUE and companion to the MUSEUM QUALITY JOKER STATUE issued a few months ago. This figure shows Harley, well armed with her pop gun and accompanied by her two pet hyenas that carry some dynamite and the torn bat-emblem we presume they either tore from the Caped crusader himself or just one of their toys. The figure is beautifully posed, and great detail has been put on her clothing. Though I have heard some complains about the face, I find this piece’s face quite appealing. Definitely less comic book looking and more realistic, shows a more mature Harley than its BTAS counterpart (which is what I like most of the figure).
I know I had mentioned this before in my SDCC reports when I was left speechless by SIDESHOW’S new high quality Joker figure to be released next year (read the post HERE). Well, back then Sideshow didn’t have a release date and my pictures were not professional quality, but they have updated their info and their pictures. This is the new info:
SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE EDITION PREMIUM JOKER FIGURE:
- Limited to 1250 pieces
- Released somewhere in second quarter of 2012

Captured in approximately 1:4 scale, with an intricate real fabric costume that features a fully lined topcoat with pose-able tails, The Joker Premium Format Figure is an outstanding addition to any display, the perfect beginning to Sideshow’s DC collection.

- From the first comic-book appearance in 1939 though his many incarnations on the big screen, the archetypical superhero known as the Batman has never been far from the American conciousness. Beyond the shaping the way we read comics and graphic novels, Batman has also captured the scholarly imagination, telling us much about our society and ourselves. These essays examine Batman, through a wide range of disciplines–phylosophy, literature, psychology, pop culture and more
