BobTheEggThe Dark Knight was a true legend of a movie, no question about it. Simply fantastic. So of course we would expect the same from the action figures and we got that too. This looks exactly like Heath Ledger's Joker. The interrogation scene can be reenacted. The paint is fantastic, the sculpt is fantastic, and the articulation is fantastic, but there's one thing wrong. On the back of the packaging, it shows a photo of the Joker figure with arm articulation that he doesn't actually have, which is very strange because the leg articulation is exceptional. The missile launcher is great, and it really is fitting to the Joker even though I don't remember him using a bazooka while wearing this uniform. All in all, a great figure, worth your money, but just a heads up on the arm articulation....[

AzraelThis review is about the Arkham Scarecrow, not the business suit Scarecrow. Now I've never been a fan of Scarecrow in the sense that I know everything about him, yet he's a character that for some reason I always enjoy. This means that when I saw the Movie Masters Scarecrow, I decided to buy him. He's a fun figure. He's got DC Universe Classics articulation, the one exception being the biceps. In fact, for the first few months I had him, I had no idea his legs had advanced articulation, and thought they were just the standard up down movement. Silly me, eh? Anyway, he's got a cool design to him that you just have to love, and his coat is soft enough that it doesn't hinder articulation... much. His paint apps are pretty good too, even under the coat things look pretty good. Scarecrow's...[

AzraelUgh. If I didn't need a movie Joker I would've never bought this. The face sculpt bears almost no resemblance to Heath Ledger. The articulation isn't all that and the number of poses you can pull off are slim to none. The look on his face is a bit too stoic and even his make up is way too different from the movie version. I'd be happy to take a knife to this figure and be all barga! I think the only decent thing about this figure is the paint. From the neck down anyway, I mean seriously, I went through 5 shelves of these guys and every one of them had a screwed up face. I honestly wished the matty collector Joker's look good enough to headswap because it's easy to see how this figure could go from hard to find scalper material to shelf warming harder than anything I've seen in the past...[

TheGreyGooseWell, I'll start by saying that Scarecrow is one of the characters who I like, but I don't know much about. I originally picked up movie Masters Scarecrow and he went in a drawer for a year, when I decided to start getting serious about my collecting, I eventually found him, and liking the movie version of Scarecrow, put him up. It wasn't until about a month later that I noticed he had DCUC type articulation. I was elated. This figure is great. Amazing sculpt on the cloak and the clothes under it, the mask is perfectly sculpted to capture the fact that it's like a burlap sack on his face, and while here's not many ways you can think to pose him, the articulation is made so that you can do pretty much whatever you think of. He's definitely one of my favorite DC figures, even though he's...[

CplHicksWhy so serious? Let’s put a smile on that that face!!! I loved the Dark Knight. When I herd that Mattel would be producing 6 inch collector geared action figures I was stoked. I bought my first MM toy on a cross border shopping trip into New York State. I walked into the first Wal-Mart and found my first MM toy: a Joker figure. I was excited as back in the early days of MM Jokers were rare and highly sought after and went for crazy prices on a website.
Joker comes with very little. Just an extremely small knife and an evidence bag with a joker card. Not a whole lot of stuff.
Paint 2.5
The paint is well applied on my Joker and is even and smooth. The real issue with paint on this figure is accuracy. The face is completely solid while with little to no bleeding or skin showing through....[

Deathlock66While I got this joker figure in a two pack with the dark knight batman and so it has no knife or evidence bag its the fig that really counts.He features 20 POA he has ball jointed neck cut shoulders turning hands cut thigh joints twisting knee joints bending knee joints and moving feet.He is vey detailed he looks like Heaths joker quite a bit maybe the hair could have been in a differnt style but it still looks good like this.His suit is also dead on right down to his shoes I think I prefer this type of suit in awy because its more modern.His face is detailed very well his face paint has some flesh showing like it should and his scaring is dead on too while the scars are shaped like a smile he is not smiling.The coulors here are his purple overcoat gloves and trouses green hair and...[

Henchmen4HireEveryone and their sexy grandma already has this figure, so if you don't believe what I say in this review, just go ask your friend's grandma to show you her toys. That should be fun.
Bats stands a hair under 6-inches tall, over 6 if you count the ears. I think he's under-sized for the DCUC line, but remember, this ISN'T the DCUC line, it's the MOVIE MASTERS line, so you can't really complain...it still annoying though, lol. There's no way to describe in words how detailed the suit is, so it suffices to say it looks as complex as it does on-screen. Even the soles and belt are ultra-detailed (is that an Ipod on the left side!? Dammit Batman, you're supposed to oppose evil, not flaunt it on your belt!). The narrow cape is stiffly-flexible, it's nothing fancy so don't expect any dramatic...[

Henchmen4HireThis figure sucks. Lol, you should have seen the look on your face, priceless!
Jokes stands under 6 inches, around 5.8. I think this figure was rushed for production, both when sculpting/designing it and when on the factory line being painted, it's little things that are bugging me. The hair looks bland, chunky, too round. I'm not used to seeing this kind of blandness from the 4 Horsemen, the thick paint apps make it look worse. The face is alright, but the make-up isn't. Mini-Heath here looks like a stoner instead of like the crazed looney he portrayed on-screen. The right sleeve's cuff has button and slot detail while the left is plain, was this on purpose? Is that how it was in the movie? The buttons/slots down the front of the purple coat are faded, as if it was cast imperfectly....[

wyLunOK, so I justgot the new Dark Knight figure.. much to talk about
first of all.. this figure IS, 6 inch scale! and not 5 inch, which means bette POA!!!
much more like the DC universe figures.. all the same articulations.
however, when I stand them up w/ the restof the figures, it may seem alittle smaller like the Hasbro Ironman Line.. however he is bulky and buff like the regular 6 inch figures.
if anything, it is more in scale in life because if you think about it this way, Superman and Capt America are like 6'2 220lbs... CHRISTIAN BALE as batman is like.. 6'0 200lbs? then these figures look the right size then! lol. thats how I see it and it gets me through...
the figure is extreeemeelly detailed, the batsuit looks awesome.. the new batman movie is going to be awesome.

Write a Review link for that item.
Don't get me wrong, I like this figure for the most part for a few reasons. Sculpt is a big upgrade, he does look much better that his first incarnation. Paints are much better here too, the clothing detail is amazing like the patterning on the shirt. However articulation is not one of them. He doesn't even have the range the thugs, the scarecrow, and the dent figures have.
Although I don't agree with how high you rated this figure, I do agree with you as to how good the movie was!
