The Dark Knight was a good movie, especially those scenes carried out by the obstinate Joker, who was played by Heath Ledger, and no doubt following the tragedy that befell Ledger along with the success of the film, we would see a strong interest in the toys that would be based on The Dark Knight.

Within the last 10 years, Hot Toys Limited has established themselves as one of the premiere companies that has official merchandising rights to produce toys from movies such as, Iron Man, the Aliens & Predator series, Terminator, Appleseed and of course, The Dark Knight. When I first saw The Joker 1/6 scale figure made by Hot Toys, I thought to myself that he might be a good addition to the other Hot Toys 1/6 scale figure that I was looking into purchasing, which was the Bat-Pod. I really don’t care for the Batman character in particular, because without all those crazy characters in the world of Batman like, The Joker, Two-Face, and The Riddler, Batman would just be this lame, rich, bored, psychopathic, traumatized, costume loving freak that’s looking for a back alley fight, because being the heir to a family fortune is how would you say…crappy.

So, no Batman figure to go with the Bat-Pod as part of my collection, only Joker and this Hot Toys Joker (DX01) is something special. The DX01 Joker is actually the third 1/6 scale Joker made by Hot Toys, whereas with the first 1/6 scale Joker, he’s wearing his standard costume, purple pants, jacket, green vest, long sleeve print shirt, and tie. The second 1/6 scale Joker, he’s wearing the ‘Bank Robber’ costume, that as we all know, set the stage for what was to come in the movie. This third 1/6 scale Joker (DX01) is an updated version of the first 1/6 scale figure, and it also comes with the ‘Gotham City Police Uniform’, which again, was another unexpected and gripping scene in the movie. The DX01 Joker stands out from the previous ones, thanks to the introduction of the Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS). This is a great feature to incorporate into a figure that has the facial detail as this one, which was sculpted by; YULLI and painted by JC Hong. With two suits, two heads, seven interchangeable hands, weapons (grenades, knife, pistol, M-1 Rifle), a deluxe stand with LED lights, accessories, and multiple points of articulation, this is an excellent 1/6 scale figure to add to your toy collection.
