Hot Toys has stepped into the kitchen and is cooking up some heat with some brand new 1/6 scale figures like the Joker 

Hot Toys is returning to Gotham with a brand new 1/6 scale figure as the origin of the Joker is explored. Released in 2019 and directed by Todd Phillips, Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix as the failed comedian Arthur Fleck. Set in 1981 Gotham City, the film follows Arthur as a failed comedian with some severe mental health issues who falls through the cracks of the health care institute system. Soon, Arthur's life finally spirals out of control as he descends into madness and becomes a version of the menacing DC Comics Joker and a symbol of chaos. Hot Toys is now bringing this version of the clown to life with two new 1/6 scale figures with a regular release and rooted hair Artisan Edition. 

Tons of details was poured into this Joker release, capturing his Murray Franklin Show appearance with a nice set of accessories. This will include swappable forearms, interchangeable hands, a clown mask, a cigarette, joke notebook, his store, and a light-up talk show display base. The Artisan Edition with rooted hair will be limited to only 4,000 pieces with both Joker figures getting a Q4 2024 – Q1 2025 release date. Pre-orders will arrive soon on Sideshow Collectibles, so stay tuned for his release.
