From TOY FAIR 2012 in New York and SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES comes the first pictures of the new SQUARE ENIX ARKHAM ASYLUM HARLEY QUINN. It is a larger reproduction from the Arkham Asylum series 1 Harley Quinn, but with much more points of articulation and the fact that it is Harley the one including a Scarface puppet accessory instead of the original that appeared with the Joker figure. Here are some pics:

Just a little note to let you Jokerholics of the world know that the DC’s new line of LEGO TOYS are finally here! Major department and toy stores have received their shipments of the DC SUPERHEROES LINE of LEGO KITS, and they are going out fast…
I went to Walmart and bought the JOKER FIGURE (#4527, $14.95) and the BATTLE OVER GOTHAM (#6863, $34.95) sets, but I also found the Superman vs Power Armor Lex, Green Lantern and Batman figure sets,as well as the Batcave, Batmobile and Two face Chase, Catwoman Catcylce City Chase sets. The selection was great at Walmart, but I saw that people were already snatching the sets like they were gold nuggets.
For me this will be quite the experience. As a kid I never had a chance to play with LEGOS, and this will be the first time I will be assembling them. Wish me luck and let’s see how it goes…I will upload pics when I’m done.In the meantime,
Purchase your sests before they dissapear from the shelves. Here are pics of the sets being sold at WALMART
Babies have an incredible appeal. If you don’t believe me, how many times have you stopped to look and googoo daa babies out there? Well, with that in mind, what if you combined a cute babie with a murderous psychopath? But of course…
and that is exactly what the people at WOLRDBOX has done with with the JOKER figure LAKOR BABY. Weird concept and I admit, the whole thing is kind of creepy, but … Just look at him and tell me he’s not also cute (in a twisted way)!
Scheduled to ship on March 2012 from WORLDBOX, here is what the action figure includes:
WORLDBOX 1/6 Joker action figure Lakor Baby, a new brand “Worldbox” from Japan (Retail $89)
Hey Jokerholics.
I just was browsing for some research for the JOKER MUSEUM and accidentally found this Joker-Harley kit….and my jaw dropped. It’s Alex Ross’ famous TANGO WITH EVIL! The statue is a commission made in 2007 and the artist is Erick Sosa. It was posted by HERE BE MONSTERS at www.statueforum.com. It is just amazing and don’t know if there are any kits available for sale but if there are…I need to get myself one so if anyone is selling, please contact me to talk some business.
In the meantime, look at the amazing work on this piece…
Joker will always be news here at the JOKER’S LAIR and he most likeky will make appearances in these March issues from DC Comics. Most are confirmed. Now please update your wish lists.
