Jesus, that Joker looks like a better articulated Mattel toy for kids.

Road Pig · 07-24-2018, 10:12 AM

I don't know what it is, but I'm loving that Joker.

Glad someone is, I feel like they really whiffed it on him. The vest not hanging over the bottom of his shirt looks silly and the sideswept hair look awful to me.

Same here. First joker I'll be adding to my collection.

Satam · 07-24-2018, 10:54 AM

This is the very definition of a split so far.

Right?? I won't try to tell other people what to like but this definitely ain't my preferred Joker

(Awesome avatar by the way!)

Might be interested in that BATMAN MULTI-PART STATUE, have to see the rest of them to be sure though.

Louise Belcher · 07-24-2018, 11:44 AM

Wow, Joker have thinner neck then Harley and Batgirl, that's just sad. I look at other pictures and indeed Harley Quinn and batgirl have manly necks.

Dr Kain · 07-24-2018, 11:45 AM

I think that Joker looks atrocious. The coat looks bad, the shoes are wrong (unless this is based on some sort of specific art), the smirk looks unnatural, and the hair is bad.

Also, why do we have an entire wave of just Batman characters? Not to mention ones they already did in the Icons line. Why not do some other ones like Ra's, Talia, Clayface, Mr Freeze, Scarecrow, etc? Or why not do some more Flash dudes like Captain Cold and Gorilla Grodd? Or hell, why not do other figures that were supposed to be in the Icons line but canned like Etrigan, Booster, Beetle, etc?

Cobra1 · 07-24-2018, 12:43 PM

I like the Joker. I like his face. It has a type of first appearance style to it.

Threat · 07-24-2018, 12:44 PM

The heads on Harley and Nightwing look really small.

Skoob · 07-24-2018, 01:20 PM

The new Joker figure may be intended to resemble the character as he was drawn by artist Tom Lyle back in the early 90s. Lyle illustrated the origin story for Tim Drake (the third Robin). Joker appeared in numerous panels. The artwork had a unique style. I see a strong resemblance.

LordSagat · 07-24-2018, 03:22 PM

Yeah I'm really not feeling this Joker. I want to but I definitely wasn't expecting to be disappointed like this.

Thor Laserpunch · 07-24-2018, 03:41 PM

He looks very tidy and metrosexual tho.

Tomax · 07-24-2018, 05:55 PM

i wanna get that nightWing

TheBlueMarvel · 07-24-2018, 07:14 PM

David Bowie-Joker...hilarious.

Nightwing's head is as small as his shoulder and the face is terrible...IMO...How bow dah? lol

lordbest · 07-24-2018, 09:35 PM

Love Harley and Batgirl

Oliver Tan · 07-24-2018, 10:27 PM

Am I the one for hoping this Essential line could be coming with all rebirth designed characters just like new 52 line? I'm really hope for that.

PanicPuppet92 · 07-25-2018, 02:18 AM

I'm really on the fence with that Joker. I like the more classic look, but it seems a bit off.

Honestly I'm surprised they didn't do him in one of his Rebirth-era looks:

Regardless, he's an improvement over the Icons Joker. This one has 2 open hands! lol

Awkward Silent · 07-25-2018, 10:46 AM

This is what the designer, Jay Fabok, had to say about this Joker:

Not really a fan honestly, I might skip it and just keep using my Capullo Joker. Hopefully if the Essentials line continues, they'll release more Jokers as they often do in this scale.

The others look pretty good though! The first wave came in today and they look AMAZING.

WastelandAngel · 07-25-2018, 01:51 PM

These are atrocious! Those females look uhhhhhh.... manly?

Unfortunately I feel like his response is the reason why this Joker looks so shit. I know I commented already but I really hate this Joker's face and weird vest that was cut short to accommodate his waist articulation. They could've just made the bottom of the best soft plastic so it hangs over.

Honestly I'd probably buy it if the vest covered his shirt and just replace the head, but he looks like a slob with his shirt poking out the bottom. Joker would NEVER commit such a fashion faux pas!

Dragasses · 07-25-2018, 04:13 PM

that vest come from an earlier time in fashion when vest were short like that.

you are certainly allowed to not like the look, but they didn't make that look up.

it's not really a "mistake" in the traditional sense.
