Here it is folks...the much sought after Movie Masters Joker figure from the upcoming film THE DARK KNIGHT. Chances are you aren't one of the lucky few to nab one of these at your local toy store before the vultures descended, but one can be acquired through ebay for an average price of about $25.00 plus shipping. And I gotta say, for fans of the character and the late great Heath Ledger's already legendary portrayal, thirty bucks is a reasonable price. This figure perfectly captures Ledger's terrifying take on the iconic Batman villain, and the figure itself is gorgeously detailed and sculpted. The articulation is pretty great all around; the head swivels on a ball and socket joint that allows you to position it in many menacing angles and the pelvis section is designed in such a way that you can put the Joker in wild, expressive stances. And if that wasn't enough, the figure comes with a full size Joker playing card for your wallet and a mini switchblade so your clown prince of crime can give your other figures a nice, wide Glasgow smile. A must have all around. Why so serious, indeed!
