THE JOKER
Clown Prince of Crime
ORIGIN
Not much is known about the beginnings of the criminal fiend
known as the Joker. Some say he was a failed comedian, some
say he was a petty thief. What is known is that he was somehow
mixed up with the Red Hood mob, and during a robbery masquerading
as the Red Hood fell into a vat of chemicals while evading the
batman. These chemicals permanently disfigured the Joker by
changing his skin color to bone white and his hair to green.
This drove the Joker insane; he has since committed crimes and
killed on the twisted whims of his addled mind.
FIGURE STATS
While missing his hat, the Joker is a spitting image of the
comic character. He comes with a large green mallet, and by
squeezing his legs he'll cold-cock with said mallet whoever
is in front of him. The mallet is actually one of the nicest
accessories ever to be packaged with a figure. It is a great
caricature of the Joker's face and his nose is the handle! It
can also be placed over his head like a mask.
COMMENTS
The chief thorn in Batman's side, the Joker is one villain who
is almost always included wherever the batman is found. This
is the closest to a perfect representation that has been made
of the comic design. The mold has been reused for the DC Heroes
line from Toy Biz, the Dark Knight Collection Joker, and the
World of Batman figure (with a new head).
