Description

A socially inept clown for hire – Arthur Fleck aspires to be a stand up comedian among his small job working dressed as a clown holding a sign for advertising. He takes care of his mother, and as he learns more about his mental illness, he learns more about his past. Dealing with constant rejection, cruelty, and bullying from society, he heads downwards on a spiral, in turn showing how his alter ego, ‘Joker,’ came to be. 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, this Artisan Edition is an Exclusive release available with limited quantity of 4,000 pieces only in selected markets. 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 by implantation technique using wool material, 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
