This figure just came out this week, or yesterday apparently! I got mine at my LCS and I gotta say I'm very pleased.

They really did step up the durability and aesthetic for this figure compared to the wave one figures. Most notably the pins for any of the hinge joints are hidden now, and that was one of the more common gripes about the early figures. The plastic also feels a lot more sturdy and less brittle, and none of the pose was resistant or frustrating out of the box. I will say that I prefer Two-Face's accessories a good deal more and overall I feel like this just wasn't a great episode to choose for Joker to get accessories from. He has the bubble helmet which looks ugly on him because of the plastic seam, a knife which looks like an awl (versatility!), a comb which he can't bring to his head and is also ludicrously small and probably easy to lose, a fashionable pearl necklace, and a telescope to round things out, oh and the hands.

Overall I like The Joker figure a very good deal, I just wish that they would've chosen a better episode for accessories. He does size up well with my only other animated Batman figure, and now I'm even more eager to get that Phantasm two-pack. Mine didn't have any issues or break at all but I would still urge a practice of caution since it is DCC and sometimes it's not 100% across the board with their figures and breaking or not.
