The Dark Knight - The Joker (Bank Robber Version 2.0)

[Product Introduction] Hot Toys' "Movie Masterpiece" series now includes an exclusive item available only at the Hot Toys Tokyo flagship store, "Toy Sapiens." From Christopher Nolan's Batman film "The Dark Knight," comes the Joker (Bank Robber/2.0 version). Pre-orders start on August 23rd, 2014 (Saturday) at 11:00 AM on the "Toy Sapiens" special website! In Gotham City, where organized crime runs rampant, the Dark Knight Batman, along with Lieutenant Gordon and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent, sets out to eradicate the mafia by cracking down on money laundering and cutting off their funding sources. Before the vengeful mafia bosses appears the Joker, the most dangerous man who robbed the mafia's money in a bank robbery, yet has declared he will kill Batman, bringing terror and chaos to Gotham. Standing approximately 30 centimeters tall and featuring over 30 points of articulation, this figure perfectly recreates the Joker's appearance during the bank robbery scene that left such a strong impression at the beginning of the film. Two head sculpts are included, both featuring the likeness of actor Heath Ledger. The first is a head with the Joker's characteristic sinister smile, newly painted using advanced technology. The second is a newly sculpted head showing the Joker wearing the mask, unlike the previous version where the clown mask could be removed, in order to reproduce the Joker's madness in more detail. Both sculpts are meticulously hand-painted to recreate the dirty makeup and hair, wrinkles, skin, and the texture of the mask. The worn suit and distinctive patterned shirt are made with new patterns, resulting in an exquisite finish with attention to detail. Weapons include a fully automatic pistol, a shotgun, and a knife. As in the film, the duffel bag that can be slung over the shoulder has a rack inside for storing the included grenades and smoke grenades. Furthermore, it comes with accessories such as playing cards and stacks of cash that serve as Joker's business cards, as well as a variety of interchangeable hand parts, allowing you to recreate various scenes from the movie. The base is a special edition that comes with a backdrop depicting the scene where the bus crashes into the bank entrance. Six years have passed since the release of the previous version, and the bank robber version of Joker has long been difficult to obtain. Whether you already own it or not, all fans have been yearning for a re-release, and this item, reborn as the long-awaited Version 2.0, is the ultimate collector's item that can only be obtained at "Toy Sapiens"!
