The Joker is back in town, and this time, he is out for blood with McFarlane Toys' latest DC Direct Purple Craze statue. McFarlane is back at bringing some iconic DC Comics to life, and a new 1:10 statue has arrived that brings the infamous Neal Adams' cover for *Batman* #251 to life. Batman #251 hit shelves in 1973, and it is quite an iconic story and covers in the Joker's DC Comics history. The statue craftes a new 3D render of the Joker towering who is towering over a smaller, seemingly helpless Batman on a playing card. This cover perfectly captures the tension and danger between this deadly cat-and-mouse game that DC Comics has created for these two characters.

The issue was titled "The Joker's Five-Way Revenge," which marked a pivotal shift in how the Joker was depicted, switching him up from his previous comedic design to a more psychopathic and deadlier villain for the Caped Crusader. Adams' unique, bold, and dynamic art style features this deadly duo in a fascinating way, and McFarlane has done an excellent job bringing it to life. Priced at $154.99, Joker fans can pre-order this Batman #251 statue right on McFarlane Toys Store and other online retailers with a March 2025 release.
