The Clown Prince of Crime kicks off a new Premium Format Figure line from Sideshow Collectibles
If you’re a fan of the Batman: Arkham Asylum series of video games, Sideshow is holding a giveaway you’d be crazy to pass up. They are launching a new line of Premium Format Figures for the game, and the Joker is the first of them to be revealed. Standing at over 2 feet tall, his appearance is styled after the designs of the game – before he self-medicated with the Titan drug, of course.
It looks like Batman will be the next figure in the line, and if it’s a hit, then I hope we’ll see Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. And I think it’d be overkill to see Premium Format Figures of Bane, Killer Croc, and a Titan Joker – they’d be ginormous!
You can enter the Arkham Asylum Joker giveaway at Sideshow – it will be $449.99 when it goes up for pre-order tomorrow. If you’ve got the toy budget for it, I’d suggest getting in on it early – the Sideshow exclusive version will also have a swappable laughing portrait (shown above). Good luck!
The Joker kicks off Sideshow’s new ‘Batman: Arkham Asylum’ collection
Launching an all-new collection based on the award-winning hit video game Batman: Arkham Asylum, Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present Batman’s most nefarious nemesis – the Joker!
Teetering over 24” tall, the deranged criminal mastermind is nearly bursting with glee, seizing control of the Arkham Asylum in what might be his most diabolical scheme ever. Sporting an impeccably tailored recreation of his weathered purple pinstripe suit, the self-styled Clown Prince of Crime waves his ‘Ace of Spades’ revolver in one hand, while the other conceals more tricks up his sleeve.
With one look at the maniacal glint in his eye and disturbing smile etched across his face, you can almost hear Mark Hamill’s lilting voice deliver the Joker’s jeering taunts, as Gotham City’s most sadistic villain positively sways in anticipation of going face-to-face with Bats once again. And surely, it won’t be long before the Dark Knight is on his way…
Sideshow Exclusive Edition
The Sideshow Exclusive Edition will also include a swap-out laughing portrait (shown below). Miss it, and the joke’s on you!
Get a sneak peek behind the scenes here:
The regular and Exclusive editions of the Joker Arkham Asylum Premium Format™ Figure will be priced at $449.99. Pre-orders begin this Thursday, April 16th.
