Sideshow and Hot Toys is bringing a meticulously detailed and expressive sixth-scale DC Comics action figure of Joaquin Phoenix’s Academy Award-winning take on the Joker. This piece showcases Hot Toys unparalleled ability to translate the most nuanced performances into exquisitely sculpted and crafted figure.
The highly-detailed figure is faithfully crafted based on Arthur Fleck a.k.a. Joker in The Joker. Features a newly developed head sculpt with separate eyeball rolling system to recreate those subtle, unsettling eye movements. And the attention to detail in replicating his expression, including the red grin, and blue facial makeup under his poorly dyed green hair, is wonderful.
The limited wardrobe Arthur Fleck has accumulated through his life to build an iconic and chaotic outfit that throws together a red suit, patterned shirt, a vest, socks and the two toned shoes. This figure also features a greatly articulated body to faithfully recreate the character’s posture, movement, and overall physical presence. His look completed with weapons and accessories such as pistol, cigarette, clown mask, and a notebook.
The inclusion of a greatly-detailed diorama replicates “Murray Franklin” show set, complete with wood grained texture backdrop, colorful fabric curtain and studio lighting including “Applause” sign with LED light-up function. This is an absolute must-have figure for any serious Joker or DC collectibles enthusiast.
“Joker: Folie Ą Deux” finds Arthur Fleck institutionalized at Arkham, awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love but also finds the music that’s always been inside him.
The new film stars Joaquin Phoenix once again in his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker opposite Oscar-winner Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born). The film also stars Oscar nominees Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Catherine Keener (Get Out, Capote), alongside Zazie Beetz, reprising her role from Joker.
Joker: Folie À Deux is set for release on October 4th.
