The Joker, Pickle Rick and UFO Cow Abduction


Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, living on a mountaintop, pursuing a hermit’s life in the deep woods or surviving underwater in a bathysphere you’re bound to have heard of Batman’s arch-nemesis: The Joker.

The Joker is one of the top super-villains of all time.  His insane, twisted mind loves nothing better than to thwart Batman and dream up pun-based crimes.

Running Press has released the Deluxe Mega Kit of The Joker that features a full-color bust of the Clown Prince of Crime in all of his leering and maniacal glory.

Decked out in his trademark purple blazer, yellow shirt and green bowtie his gaudy outfit also includes a non-lethal copy of his yellow flower that squirts, not water, but acid or Joker gas.

To make things even better The Joker bust also talks braying forth 10 diabolical phrases and sound bites.  Want to bet his crazed laugh is included?

The Deluxe Mega Kit also comes with a small full-color booklet called The Joker: Behind The Smile.

Forty-eight illustrations detail the life, laughs and lunacy of The Joker




Almost as crazy as The Joker Deluxe Mega Kit is the Rick and Morty Talking Pickle Rick Deluxe Mega Kit.

The Pickle Rick Saga is considered by many Rick and Morty fans as the creme la creme of the Rick and Morty episodes.

In it, Rick turns himself into a pickle to avoid a ‘family’ situation. 

Unfortunately for him things go haywire and he soon finds himself in a sewer, fighting off killer rats, cobbling together a bionic body of rat and roach parts and eventually winding up in a Russian compound where he pickle-to-man against a trained assassin.

It’s Rick to the max!

The squeezable Rick spouts two famous Pickle Rick phrases and also comes with 48-page booklet filled with art and text about Pickle Rick.  Like The Joker bust, Pickle Rick stands a little over three-inches tall, as does the UFO Cow Abduction Deluxe Mega Kit.




A three-inch, clear-dome, flying saucer with a green, bug-eye alien piloting it hovers over an innocent cow.

A clear-plastic tractor beam lifts the cow off its grassy base via magnetism.

Lights and sounds accompany the abduction.

A 32-page booklet chronicles the cow abduction.

All three Deluxe Mega Kits come packed in small boxes with clear display panels, except for the Cow Abduction and include batteries.

What fun!  I plan on displaying all three on my bookshelf in my Mancave.  Imagine a UFO, The Joker and Pickle Rick all in one place!
