Browsing, browsing, browsing….found more new and…strange Joker stuff.
This time I found this 3 inch vinyl Joker figure from Toynami that has to be one of the strangest figures I have seen of the Clown Prince of Crime. First of all, is it really an action figure? It sells for only $9.99 and you can preorder it at the link below. Here is a pic, you guys tell me.

Found on the net this interesting study for a Joker figure based on the game Injustice and the sketch looks fantastic…take a look:
Then I have found (overseas since no one in the US seems to have a picture of him) that this is what the actual action figure looks like….
I am not an expert, but i think that the concept is totally lost on the actual figure ( if this is the final look.) The face sculpt is all wrong, and it would have worked with more 3D effct of the straps and jacket. It just looks…plastered on the body when I think it should have been a loser fit…like TDK’s Joker jacket. And there is something witht the final color pallette…that I fail to put my finger on, but that bothers me tremendously. Anyway. Let’s hope the ‘American’ market Joker is a little better…
I think mine is going to stay in the box when I buy it.
Browsing the net found this cute figurine for sale. One of the sites selling it is SUPERHERO HAVEN and I am providing the link to their page. In the meantime, for those interested, you can pre-order the figure now:
Pre order due March 2013

The mexican holiday “Day of the Dead” is a colourful celebration of death, famous all over the world for its uplifting spirit and iconic imagery.
Oddco have created a kooky group of Mexican skeletons who have risen from the ashes and turned into an awesome range of figurines.
There are 6 deadly characters to choose from – Bring out your dead!
The guys at ToyFair have announced a new Joker action figure based on the successful DEATH OF THE FAMILY story arc. Tthe figure is based Greg Capullo’s design. No official release date as of now…but sometime this year. Hope is pretty soon. Here are a few pics of the figure….ENJOY!
…and I am adding this one to the wish list…

Found this while browsing the web. DC DIRECT is going to release a new ARKHAM CITY JOKER statue. A very nice December surprise from DC Collectibles. Seems to be part of the Black and White statues series, but with all that green who knows. Here is a sneak peek:

I found this amazing pumpkin carver’s work in the web, he does amazing works of art and this time he did a wonderful CLOWN PRINCE OF CRIME. Just look at this masterpiece and a fast paced summary of the artist’s work. The master-carver is ANDY BERGHOLTZ.
I didn’t know THIS could be done with a pumpkin…..
And here is the time-elapsed video of the creation:
And another time elapsed video of the creation process…
After a short visit to the Artist’s Alley for some autographs and visual self gratification (like I bought some nice art at the alley…) and a few panels on writing for comics (Yes, I STILL want to write for comics someday…never too old for dreaming) I had my happy run through the Exhibition Floor and grabbed the newest Joker wonders to hit the market this year and the next. Can’t wait to set my hands in some of these cuties…

If you want something really bad, you have to be swift, and sneaky…at the same time be VERY patient.
First it started for me early. Even though today all main attractions (and mostly I am talking about the exhibit show) started at 3 pm, I was there at 11 and the line was already building up. It was fun to talk to other fans, but it was even more fun to see what boredom and anxiety makes some fans do. Let’s just say we had a lot of fun in the waiting line. Everyvody was a real trooper, and made the wait tolerable.
THE DOORS OPENED AT 2:45 and it’s a run to the booths for the so desirable collectibles. My first stop was at the DC booth to get my copies of the NYCC Exclusive Batman 13 Die Cut cover. While I just needed a few copies, for friends and family…I saw people buying hundreds of copies, literally. For a moment I was concerned about the stock of covers, but DC was prepared for the contingency. Also got my wristband to have Scott Snyder sign my copies in the evening…
Then ran to the ZAPP booth to get my second target: A NYCC Bearbrick TDKR Joker figure. Along with him, I found a NYCC exclusive Funko Pop! Marvel Wolverine Bobble-head brown costume that was just too cute to ignore.
With some time to spare, ran through some booths that I know always have some good stuff…and had to take some home:
1. Some nice Joker and Harley Quinn magnets:
2. A super cute LEGO Super Heroes Loki keychain:
3. Two art prints of Joker and Harley (post pics tomorrow since the prints are too large to use my scancam app with it…)
4. Set of two Joseph Campbell sketcbooks signed:
I had mentioned it before,that there are going to release an ARKHAM CITY: HARLEY QUINN ( see post on December Joker solicitations HERE), but the guys at DC Comics have a nifty video of the little statue from every angle. Enjoy and add to your wish lists as the statue is released on 2013:
