Hot Toys Bank Robber Joker from TDK 2.0


“I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger.” Hot Toys’ first 1/6th scale The Joker (Bank Robber Version) Collectible Figure has been sought after by collectors even up to today as Heath Ledger’s amazing performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight left a strong impression among fans all these years. Today we are delighted to present this updated version of The Joker (Bank Robber Version 2.0) Collectible Figure as one of the 2014 Toy Fair Exclusive items.

The movie-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on Heath Ledger’s image as The Joker in his bank robber outfit in the movie. It features a newly painted head sculpt with upgraded technique, a newly sculpted interchangeable Bozo masked head sculpt with scuff marks, brand new tailored slimmer-fitting costume, detailed weapons, accessories, and a backdrop of the school bus used in Gotham National Bank heist.

Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

I'd order this for sure assuming its a 1/6th figure. Don't have any previous Jokers and the Batman w/ Armory will be my first Dark Knight figure.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Now that there's this, the evntual 3.0, a possible 1/4, when will this madness stop? So many characters go squandered!
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

As much as I'd love a new Joker, I'll wait to see what this has to offer. If it's just Bank Robber Joker, then I might pass as I prefer him in his classic purple.

This is a figure retrospective I wrote for Batman News awhile back on the original BR Joker release. It also touches on Ledger's performance in TDK. If you were ever on the fence about adding this iteration of the Joker to your collection - read this before deciding yay or nay on the rumored SDCC exclusive.

If the new version is half as good as the original - you'll be very pleased indeed.

Yeah, think there are many who missed this in the first place and many who already got it would buy and improved version anyway.
But I also think that the later high demand for the original figure was also a result of it becoming harder to get and I'm not sure how high the general interest in this version of the character will be if it's not that limited again, since probably most prefer the purple coated look.

Imo the opening scene Bank Robber Joker look is very iconic. Just the mask itself symobilzes the art of this movie in a great way already, so I love this version. In it's own way even over the purple coat outfit.

When is toy fair?

Toy Fairs actually describes a line of events, like the SDCC as far as I know.
Anybody remember at which conventions the previous TF figures were shown first before?

Seeing the prologue after weeks of anticipation - and after following the TDK viral marketing ARG December of 2007 - sold me on the idea of accepting a different look for an iconic character like the Joker in Nolan's universe. This mask, and the way Heath Ledger carried himself behind it's guise, made me fall head over heals for this particular story arc.

The purple coat will always be a staple in Joker's presentation to the masses. But this mask - along with his GCPD and nurse disguises - showed a different side of the Joker. To me, it shows that Joker is willing and able to literally exploit and corrode the most sacred symbols and iconography (police, medical workers, childhood symbols) in order to infiltrate the physical AND psychological barriers of his adversaries.

The Bank Robber "Grumpy" mask was the gateway to accepting that notion in TDK.

When is toy fair?
I believe it's around July 17th-19th but they reveal the exclusive prior to the events so we'll be getting the announcements for all 3 during the next 2-3 weeks.

Hope this is a Bank Robber 2.0. Missed out on the original and was about to buy it from someone the other day too.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Awesome news. I hope they release two face 2.0 next year for the TF exclusive.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

If this is indeed a 1/6 BR Joker 2.0, I'm happy for those who always wanted one -- you'd get an improved version for less the price of the first release.

Personally I don't feel anything towards any of this year's exclusives (I've already sold all my Preds, I stick to one version of every character from every movie due to budget and space constraints, thus my collection is complete with just DX11, and I'm not much into Iron Man), so money saved for me.

Unless this is a 1/4 Joker, then...
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

I'm betting HT is done with the 1/4 scale experiment. As for Joker, I wonder if they'll include another sculpt here that can be used with other figures. If so, and if it's an improvement, it could definitely have an appeal beyond what it seems to be at the moment.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Yep I'm in for sure.
 
Re: Hot Toys - Toy Fairs Exclusive 2014 - Bank Robber Joker 2.0 ?

Im excited for this one. Just finished buying all the TDK trilogy figures i wanted but i would welcome this one :yess:
