Joker

He’s known by a variety of names: The Clown Prince of Crime, Harlequin of Hate, the Ace of Knaves, and the Jester of Genocide.

But to Batman fans he is known as the Joker--Batman’s arch nemesis.

The Tonner Joker figure comes in a special, black display box with the DC Stars logo.

Inside the figure is secure in the box with silk ribbon tie downs and foam rubber.  Accessories are in separate Ziploc bags and packets of silicon chips keep the moisture out of the box preventing damage to the figure.

A sheet of tissue paper gatefolds over the figure for protection.  A special circular base and wire support are also inside.

What I really like about this figure is it reminds me of the Joker when he was first introduced.  It looks very much like the Golden Age Clown of Crime.

Comic book readers need to remember that originally the Joker was a maniac and a ruthless killer.  It wasn’t until the Comic Book Code Authority was created and a decade later the Batman TV series came about that the Joker was played more as a buffoon did.

Thankfully that all changed when Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams returned the Joker to his originally mad state in the late Silver Age.

The Tonner Joker features a grimacing, red lip, death white face with a long hooked nose, a pointed chin, deep set eyes, large sweeping eyebrows and a slicked back green mane of hair.

He wears a black strip bowtie, a bright green shirt with buttons, a gaudy orange knitted vest, a light purple waist coat with large cuffs and collar and purple pants with black pinstripes.

His entire body is ghostly white including his bare feet and hands,

Included with the articulated figure are black shoes with white spats.

Everything about this figure screams high quality from its beautifully sculpted face to its finely tailored cloths.  This is the Joker figure collectors need to get their hands on.
