Heath Ledger won the Golden Globe posthumous award - This year's defining moment was when Heath Ledger received a posthumous award as best supporting actor for his brilliant performance in "The Dark Knight". Hot Toys fans are lucky enough to have their The Joker figurines as a best memory of this talented actor. If you are regretting to miss both versions, you may still pray for one more...

Hmmmmm. What could this mean?

 

[Bathead]

Two possibilities, either nurse Joker or cop Joker. I'd think nurse Joker more likely.

 

[mikey1974]

either that,or i'm thinking maybe the ultimate kit-bash....

V. 1 Joker body....

Bank Robber head,plus NEW "Interrogation" head,with severely smeared makeup and grungy hair...

machine gun...

rocket-launcher....

extra,ungloved hands...

....so you can TRULY recreate the interrogation room scene with gloveless hands and a super-smudged head...

...if not,the Nurse Joker is the most likely follow-up...

 

[Bathead]

There's an idea - what about conversion kits? With just those items (minus the body) like you mentioned above? Just add them to or swap with a joker figure you already have, and prrsto! a whole new figure!
Then again, that would never happen because Hot Toys couldn't make as much money that way as they would selling a complete figure.

 

[Dir en grey]

Stop it stop it!! I have no money! RARRRRRRRR ! But I would like a nurse joker xP.

 

[Spidey_D.N.]

I received that newsletter too. A cop Joker would be great. If not, a 2-in-1 thing w/ 2 additional head sculpts and some additional Joker’s accessories that weren’t included in the last two figures (like a shotgun or a RPG) will do. Hopefully, this news will open up a way for a Gordon figure down the road.

 

[vodoun]

3 Joker's.... 2 is enough as it is and it better not be. I've only just ordered Two Face and Mark 2 the other day.

 

[Borat]

Ugh, I'm still waiting on V. 1 Joker. Oh well, I'll probably buy whatever else they bring out. I'm terrible for that.

 

[DDS]

Holy **** I want that Godfather figure...

And, yeah, I'm thinking nurse or cop Joker.

 

[Deadshot59]

While Joker Cop IS tempting, I think I'd much rather go for a Nurse Joker if there were to only be one more HT Joker...

But still, I'd much rather see a HT Scarecrow.

The order of importance to me:

Scarecrow
Gordon
Ra's Al Ghul
Nurse Joker
Cop Joker

 

[Kaizer]

If there's a mix of the first and BR-Joker coming, I'm getting real mad, cause I just decided and paid for a BR Joker cause it had the better head-sculpt. An accessory/costume-pack would be fantastic though.

Yeah so did I. If they do make a release of the BR Joker head sculpt and MK 1 Joker clothes I will go on a rampage. I'm sure they won't but you never know.

I still want to get the MK 1 Joker so I can swap the heads.

 

[BLU8]

Ugh, I'm still waiting on V. 1 Joker.

I feel your pain. I just got an e-mail saying that my HT Joker won't ship until the 2nd Quarter of 2009, whatever that means.

I think that if HT did another Joker figure, it would be in his nurse disguise, as that's a more iconic outfit than the honour guard disguise. It should come with 2 different heads (wig & no wig), the silenced Glock, & the bomb detonator.

A Joker accessory pack would also kick ass. I'd love for it to include the BRJ head sculpt, S&W M76 submachine gun, RPG, knives & switchblades, Joker cards, money (maybe with some Jokerized bills?), & extra gloveless hands.

 

[Borat]

Nvm! I got my Hot Toys Batman and Joker today! Finally!

as annoying as the idea of an "ultimate joker" figure would be i would rejoice. i love the bank robber figure but i really want his regular threads and the first joker's headsculpt is a joke (especially since we have since seen how great hot toys can be.) add to that i think the costume on v1 is less than perfect (ditch the velcro on the vest and where are his damn suspenders?).

so if they do release a more perfect version down the road, sign me up. im sorry but if you settled for that v1 head you might just have to regret it. (maybe they could avoid the backlash by offering whatever new headsculpt to previous owners at a decent price?)

but as far as what they alluding to here i think it will be cop joker. although he was more memorable in the hospital scene, i think a makeup less joker in cop garb would make for more variety in this line than him in nurse costume, and make for a better figure. besides his nurse costume is already pretty easy to find on ebay and whatnot.

and what about a straight up interrogation room joker? messy wet hair, smeared makeup, dirty gloveless hands with cuffs included and a more beatup version of his clothing would be pretty sweet (if not slightly redundant).

 

[Luthor Kain]

A third Joker Figure and a Silken Floss figure?!?
Damn you Hot Toys!!

 

[Seditionary]

I think they mean they are probably hard to come by. and you need to pray for one.

But I just want to ruin yer hopes and dreams.

 

[SICKSQUID]

I think they mean they are probably hard to come by. and you need to pray for one.

Hmmmm. I don't think so. Just mentioning the words "one more" sounds like one more is being worked on to me. I'll certainly be up for another, providing it's a different sculpt. I think a combo set of Cop Joker and Nurse Joker would be excellent. Two heads in the set -one make-up free.

[JokerLedger]

pleaes nurse joker!

 

[SICKSQUID]

I'm based in the UK and I purchased all my Dark Knight Hot Toys figures via EBay "Buy it now" as soon as they were advertised. I now have both Joker versions and Harvey Two Face. If they do release another Joker version I'd recommend the two Hong Kong stores GOODSHIPPED and STUDIO SUNNY as they both provided excellent service and the items are packaged very well.

WTF Interrogation Joker? That would be fail. Considering the V2 head is basically the interrogation Joker. The make up is too messy to be a regular joker. And the suspenders seem pretty useless.

I think that they could make an excellent interrogation Joker. I would buy it. There are so many different face sculpts they could do.
