Just surfing the net finding good stuff for the new site I found these incredible miniature pieces of art.  The company is called KNIGHT DESIGNS and are located in Europe, selling their kits world wide.The quality of the miniature is incredible, and for those with the talent to paint and assemble these kits, this is indeed a great way to express your artistic side.  The only thing is to find them (which I can of found a little hard, unless you knew what you were looking for, so I decided to help in your search for Joker miniatures).

They vary from 35 mm (about 1.4 inches) to 75 mm (about 3 inches) in height and the unpainted/un-assembled sets are varied in its content and made of white metal or high quality resin, reproducing even the smallest of details.  Here are a few samples of some of the kits that have been produced  and pay notice that at the time of this post, some of them might have sold out (*tear runs down cheek*)

And just so you know, they have acquired other licenses to miniaturize with the same quality and attention given to their Joker sets.

These sets come ready to be assembled and painted by you!

They have revealed a new DC LEGO set for 2014:  BATMAN THE JOKER STEAMROLLER 76013.

This new Joker LEGO set promises not only to be fun to assemble, but will also include a Batgirl, Damian Wayne Robin, Batman and Joker henchman figures along with what probably is the most detailed Joker mini-figure  from any previous LEGO set. The set will be available in stores on January 1, 2014.

Here are some pictures for the Jokerholics to enjoy:

DC Collectibles announced at the end of last month that they are planning on releasing a new figure based on the INJUSTICE:  GODS AMONG US game play.  The new figure is going to be smaller than the previous one released this year and will provide a new sculpt.  Here is a preview of the figure:

injustice-joker-figure

DC Collectibles held a Q&A on their Facebook page about some of their products. They revealed a new Injustice Joker 3.75″ Figure. The image shows a work in progress sculpt, so some details may change. Other than that, for the most part, nothing too revealing. You can check out the rest of the Q&A, and the photo of The Joker, after the jump.

OK, make your selection guys, because the speecial Edition for the upcoming ARKHAM ORIGINS game scheduled for October 25th will come in two editions with dramatic difference in contents.

First the UK ARKHAM ORIGINS SPECIAL EDITION that we had seen leaked from IGN: (PS3 and XBox360)

In addition to a copy of the game, the CE features an 80-page art book, metal game case, the Deathstroke Challenge Pack, and a “1st Appearance” Batman skin. Eight pages of information on the assassins hunting Batman come in a dossier as well. But the real appeal is in the 12-inch statue of Batman and The Joker. On PlayStation 3, Arkham Origins’ CE also includes the Knightfall pack.

Then this is the US ARKHAM ORIGINS Special Edition recently announced: (PS3 and Xbox360)

The special edition will include a statue of the Joker featuring LED effects, an 80-page art book, two pieces of evidence, a Batman Wanted Poster along with Prototype Schematics for the Batwing, an Anarky logo stencil, a glow-in-the-dark map of Gotham, Wayne Family Photo and Intel Dossiers on the eight assassin’s along with Black Mask’s contract.

Additionally, a First Appearance Batman Skin will be included, allowing players to appear as Batman did on his debut in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, along with the Deathstroke Challenge Pack which unlocks two extra Deathstroke skins and bonus challenge maps. Finally, North American versions of the special edition will get a feature-length documentary from Warner Bros. showcasing DC’s supervillains, while the PS3 edition will also have the Knightfall pack as exclusive content

 Which one would you get?  I can live with either one…but I like the Joker in the American one.

Today’s spotlight is especially important to me, because in a humble effort to expand my collection I was able to get a hold of a very rare japanese figure (I’ve been hunting one of these since it’s release). It is the TAKARA TOMY 1/6th Vintage Joker figure from TOMY ENTERMEDIA. And here is my new figure:

tarakatommyjkr02

  • Release date: 2010
  • Japanese import TOMY ENTERMEDIA
  • Three-dimensional in vintage style image of a TOY at the time, the “Phantom Joker Crazy” early DC Comics version
  • Posable. Fabric clothing, hat and cane included.
  • Figure stands 12 inches tall.
  • Considered rare.

jokercollectorA Jokerholic friend posted this in one of the galleries in my Joker museum but it is just such an insanely large and dedicated collection that I believed it deserved the spotlight.  I’m an avid collector of Joker and Harley too (more Joker than Harley have to confess) as you can see from my museum, but this collection left me awestruck and drooling like an idiot.

The owner of this magnificent collection is Mark Terrence Sy  who lives in the Philipines and it’s obvious he has been very busy with his collection.   There are items there I have not been able to find anywhere in the web…not even by reference.  I applaud his efforts for keeping Jokerdom alive and I give you a glimpse of his collection. 

YOU CAN ALL DROOL NOW!

Could not let the news pass me by, since this has to be probably one of the best sculpts of the Clown Prince of Crime that the Sideshow artists have produced (Yes, and probably as good as the sculpt of the Museum Quality Joker statue!).  No release date, but you can sign in the Sideshow site for updates.  Just click on the ling below to be taken to the site.

More pics from our friends at Sideshow depicting the new Harley Quinn figure to be released on February of 2014.  The figure is basically a companion of the 1/6th Joker figure to be released later this year. 

I don’t know about you guys but I have no idea who came witht he idea of that hideous corsette for Harley.  If they were doing a classic Joker figure why not follow a masterpiece like that with a classic Harley?  Everybody knows the regular Harley Quinn had no corsette.  Is this DC and Sideshow’s idea of hybridize Harley with the new more modern look she has taken, just to make her “sexier”?  I would not believe it past DC Comics, specially after the more sexual tone the new 52 line has taken lately. It’s just a personal opinion.

Now to the important info.  The figure will also include two head sculpts and accessories:

  • Fully Articulated Body
  • Two Harlequin jester heads with alternate expressions; grinning and mischievous
  • Fabric Costume includes Black and Red Bodysuit, corset, lace detailing and jester tights
  • Giant Wooden Mallet (Printed Your Face Here)
  • Oversized Pop-Gun
  • Customized Boots (Engraved KA-POW on soles)
  • Variety of interchangeable hands for various gags and tricks, including:
  • Brass knuckle fist (Engraved HA HA)
  • Hand with syringe
  • Sideshow Exclusive: Engraved Butcher’s Knife
