This one is long overdue from Hot Toys. I'm currently working on a list of Hot Toys I wish we had and up until a month or so ago this would've been on the list. First impressions I actually like both the Artisan and DX versions, I'm not the biggest fan of rooted hair on figures but with this Artisan line it looks like Hot Toys has cracked the hair code.

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, colourful fabric curtain and studio lighting including “Applause” sign with LED light-up function.
