“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”

Commemorating Heath Ledger’s critically acclaimed performance in Christopher Nolan’s remarkable film trilogy, Sideshow is proud to present the Joker Premium Format™ Figure from The Dark Knight.

And here we go! A vision of chaos and anarchy incarnate, Sideshow’s artists have captured every haunting detail of Heath Ledger as Batman’s greatest enemy, from his disheveled green hair, to the creased lines of his heavy makeup, and chilling scars of his Glasglow smile. A man of simple tastes, the Joker comes dressed to the nines in his ‘cheap’ purple suit, with layers of expertly tailored fabric costuming. Armed with serious firepower and demonstrating his flair for theatrics, the psychotic mastermind flaunts his calling card.

Standing 19” tall over the broken streets of Gotham, Sideshow’s Joker Premium Format™ Figure is a must have for fans of The Dark Knight. Because collectors deserve a better class of criminal, and we’re going to give him to them.

Sideshow Exclusive
The Sideshow Exclusive edition of the Joker will come with a special game changer – a swap out accessory hand holding the detonator (shown below).

Well, the nice thing is - Since SS doesn't sell out like it used to, you have many moons to ponder whether you want it or not. The only thing that will disappear is the exclusive (the detonator), which is kinda 'blah' on this one.
(It isn't the Batman Grapple Gun or Darkenss' Unicorn Horn).
To be honest, I think if I was getting this, the weapon looks better than the detonator...

The knife... it should have been the knife... not the tiny detonator...

I heard they nixed the knife because with his hand postion, it made it look like he was pleasuring himself.

sometimes i want it .. and then i just tell myself no. Truth is I only want it cause its heath Joker in PF and that I do want ... but I just dont like the pose. And if they ever do another I will immediately want that one most likely more then my want for this ... hopefully i dont regret passing on this and they dont NOT release another in like 5 years.

(You just know the X-rated version is out there...you know- the one with something else instead of the stick horse.! That pose was just askin' for it)

Is it just me, or does the Prime 1 joker look better?

This figure is way better made than the prime one. This dark knight joker premium format by sideshow rocks. I think that sideshow did an amazing work on this piece. Love the head sculpt.

 

[Javier Martinez]

out on a limb whether to purchase this .... I mean surely they'll make other ones right? Too much money to be made not to ... I would just rather have the classic pose from TDK covers. standing hunched over look staring at ya' then him holding up some damn card.

This premium joker by sideshow is perfect. I really love this piece, love this head sculpt, I do think is movie accurate, great ledger likeness.

I still think it's hilarious that they replaced the Knife with a detonator.
In the first reveal, it was the gun or the knife - and when the knife was in his hand it looked like he was, uh..... pleasuring himself....

Gotta admit, the EX on this one is pretty useless IMO too. But still, even if the face isn't perfect, this statue does a great job.

Yeah, not a a great ex.
PLUS, the detonator was one of the ex's on the Joker DX 2!

@Drum18 I just cant do the stupid card in hand pose. I love all else. I'm holding out as while I do want a joker PF badly surely this wont be the last one. I'd almost best the iconic movie art pose standing still might even happen one day. Not sure if that'll be a good look for a PF tho as more dynamic poses like this one do make for better longer lasting freshness.
