Joker (Dark Knight - Movie Masters) Review
Joker Dark Knight - Movie Masters (Mattel)Ugh. 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 few years. So if you have to get a Joker, go for the DCUC one, and if you need a Dark Knight Joker, wait for one. The Movie Masters one is substandard and the basic figures are even worse. However if you're desperate for a fix, and you have the money to spare, Go get Hot Toys Joker, and be happy with your purchase, but with this thing, you'll regret it in a week.
