The Dark Knight Trilogy Artisan Series The Joker 

"Why so serious!" – The Joker. Heath Ledger's version of the Joker in The Dark Knight is a remarkable performance that still gets recognized today as one of the best depiction of the character outside of the DC comic book. Despite on his limited screen time, the Joker steals the show by his menacing presence over the movie. He's the agent of chaos, the unstoppable force to Batman's immovable object."

"Commemorating the 15th anniversary of The Dark Knight movie and Heath Ledger's critically acclaimed performance, Hot Toys is bringing a more delicate and storytelling figure of Heath Ledger's Joker to demonstrate our top-of-class crafting techniques. Presenting Hot Toys' Artisan Edition of The Joker in 1/6th scale collectible figure from DX Series. This is an Exclusive release available with limited quantity of 4,000 pieces only in selected markets."

"This time we have worked closely with Derek Kwok (Hong Kong Film Director), a Christopher Nolan fanatic himself, who spent over a decade to refine his passionate The Dark Knight Joker's costume in 1/6th scale, as a hobby. Hot Toys is honored to create a custom-tailored costume based on The Joker's signature purple coat outfit in Nolan's The Dark Knight with Director Kwok's involvement. From the choice of material to the cuts and layer arrangements, Derek showed his professionalism and expressed great passion, combining Hot Toys' workmanship to give the real fabric costume the highest level of screen accuracy."
