Yes, the “kids” at Sideshow are at it again, and bring forward another awesome new sculpt of the DARK KNIGHT’S Joker that Heath Ledger helped to immortalize.
Let me introduce…THE DARK KNIGHT THE JOKER PREMIUM FORMAT STATUE
The sculpt is awesome and the presentation is even better. The artists over at Sideshow deliver us another winner. It is already available for ordering…I am planning on getting one, what are you waiting for to get yours?
This was announced a few months ago by DC Collectibles, but they had not released a picture of the statues, and I had withheld the report until some images were available. FINALLY, they release the first pictures and please note that they are also releasing a Deadshot and a Killer Croc statue as well and I’m sure more statues of the cast will follow. With no more delay, these are the first look at the Joker and Harley Quinn statues:
Batman and his arch-nemesis The Joker are two sides of the same coin. You can’t have one without the other. Their complicated relationship is captured perfectly with this award-winning sand sculpture, which is titled “My Better Half.”
The sculpture was created by Marielle Hessels of the Netherlands and David Ducharme of Winlaw, B.C., and won first place in the doubles division at Parksville’s annual Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition.

I apologize for not posting this column of upcoming merchandise lately…life keeps happening I guess, but now I will make it up for all you JOKERHOLICS and post the latest additions to the Joker merchandise collection to be released between now and 2016.
Always remember that most of these you might be able to get through your local Comic Book Shop or may be ordered though a store (Amazon, Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store among others) and occasionally through the manufacturer directly (Sideshow). Like always, release dates are subject to change and prices are not set on stone either.
There are a bunch of new Joker and Harley Quinn figures coming out this year and like any good capitalistic society none of them are really cheap so it is important to be careful when choosing what to collect and why… especially when we are no Donald Trump nor Bill Gates but hard working people painfully saving our dollars for the little pleasures of life…
Usually I have no problem selecting what I want to collect as I am mainly a JOKER collector but when it comes to Harley Quinn, I am very picky with what I can and will buy and right now I have a problem maybe the fans out there can help me decide…. So please look below and give me an idea of what Harley Quinn statue I should select for collection…they are all SO BEAUTIFUL, but I’m no millionaire.
I want the Sideshow Arkham Asylum Premium Quality Joker figure being releases April/July 2016: $450
and that would be great, but there are a few of beautiful Harley Quinn figures coming out this year as well:
YAMATO’s DC FANTASY HARLEY QUINN FIGURE BY ARTIST LUIS ROYO to be released June 2015: $250
AND ENTERTAINMENT EARTH IS SELLING A VARIANT OF THIS STATUE to be released June 2015: $250
There is also the DC GOTHAM GARAGE HARLEY QUINN STATUE to be released in November 2015: $300
And of course the BOMBSHELL JOKER AND HARLEY QUINN FIGURE to be released on December 2015: $250
I’ll love your input on this matter… Thank you friends!
I sometimes like to do my own statues and sculptures when I want certain figure or pose that I like. I know that companies are not there for me, so I go and take a lump of Sculpey and just start creating my figures. I love learning new things about customizing and sculpting figures and I find this guy to be if not the best, pretty darn close. His name is RAFAEL ROBLEDO Jr. and he has a YouTube channel that showcases his work HERE. He does ALL kinds of customizations and some are pretty neat.
Then I found he customized a Joker sculpture, and decided I had to share that with Jokerdom. Here are the video series for your entertainment.
Why did I not find this before? Who knows, maybe sometimes the more you look the less you see.
Anyways this is an awesome Batman cowl redesigned in the style of the Joker and it was created by Derek Deal for the SDCC 2014 CAPE/COWL/CREATE. Here is a picture of his design and I think that it is something a Jokerized Batman would wear…
Just got my Previews this month and to my surprise I see my dream come true… (I had mentioned this in a post about a similar statue, but a private commission. See post HERE).
A Joker and Harley Quinn statue based on the Alex Ross design from the Harley Quinn graphic novel….AWESOOOOME!. It is ready to order from your local comic book shop or toy stores online (ENTERTAINMENT EARTH, BIG BAD TOY STORY, and others). Prices range between $199.99 and $249.99. Since it is limited to 5200 I already put my order. Here is a pic of what it will look like…
DC Collectibles, the company that had brought us a plethora of beautiful creations on the BLACK AND WHITE statue series, focus their attention once more on the Clown Prince of Crime and use him for inspiration of their next statue.
In time for DC’s 75th year Anniversary the statue is based on the designs by comic book artist Dick Sprang. The sculpture is scheduled to be released later on this year (possibly fall) and at current price of these figures, it will probably sell for about $69.99. Here is the unfinished preview:
DC Collectibles has announced a new HARLEY QUINN Bust based on her NEW 52 look to be released in September 2014. Normally I don’t give much for her new look and would have skipped the idea of buying it ( I’m a Joker collector anyways) but this one is designed by JIM LEE!!! It is impossible to pass this one this time with the other busts in the series showing such dynamism and quality. So yes, I’m, sold into getting her. Check this out…
