Yep, body has full tats underneath but weirdly enough distracting black joints... Not so bad if you pose him though. Boots come off the body

the peg of the feet and hand compatible hot toys?

I don't think so but it's nothing a Dremel or possibly some hot glue can't fix. The feet in particular don't plug into balls, but rather pegs

I didn't know I wanted a purple coat Leto Joker, until I realised that he could be had so cheap. Plus I already had a replacement sculpt I could use.
The stock head wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be - just a little small and the paint a little off - but I've never been a fan of that screaming sculpt.
Apart from changing the head I took the elbow pegs out of the ankles, and didn't replace them with anything as the ankles sit tightly inside the boots. Also has the advantage of correcting his height.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the screaming sculpt either, they almost got it right, but the mouth and jawline is too stretched out by at least a quarter, maybe even a third, which makes him look like he has a dislocated jaw or something, at best, to my eyes. Forehead seems a touch too high, too. It all just mixes into something a bit too uncanny valley for me, personally.
And I agree, the letokers are a bit under-rated, they certainly have a lot of shelf presence in hand. As I only wanted one, I went for the arkham straightjacket version, which is the look I preferred, and can also be grabbed for bargain prices these days. Purchased the (official, parted out) smiling head, which I think works really well with the arkham version, along with the joker's pistol, cane, and pistol hand, to give me some other display options, again all of which I got cheap. Paired with Harley (mine is in practically the exact same pose as yours, only with bat instead of mallet), they really do look great on the shelf.

I went for the Asylum Joker as well originally, intending that to be my one and only Letoker.
The non-laughing HT sculpt is incredible, and I was surprised to be able to capture it as white faces are normally camera shy (plus I don't particularly like photographing figures).
I used a recast of it for the Purple Coat Joker, which had previously been on the figure in the background here:
I passed on the HT Purple Coat Joker because it was too wacky for my taste at the time. But that naughty Crazy Toys is so crazy cheap I couldn't say no.

Yes, it plugs onto a barbell peg like a normal head.

On this point, have a look at Andrew's video of the Crazy Toys Wolverine, which shows the elbow joint they used for the ankles:
The Crazy Joker is a little too tall for Leto, but oddly not as tall as he appears in Andrew's review:
Which makes me think that the HT must've been a bit short.
Replacing the stock sculpt reduces some height, as the Crazy Toys sits a bit high. After pulling the pegs out of the boots I pushed the ankles down into them unattached. The boots grip them tightly, and that completes the necessary height reduction.
The body is pretty good in terms of plastic quality, texture and weight. The downside are the joints that mean the coat has to stay on. The chest/abdomen seam is actually pretty neat and doesn't stand out as it does in the video, at least on mine.
I found the legs a bit awkward to pose, even after removing the odd ankle joints. But this may be to do with them using the same joint over and over throughout the body.
For £38.95 delivered from China within 9 days it was really a steal, in more ways than one.
More of the crazy toys custom. I can see where you're coming from on the screaming head, but in hand it really has a presence that I love. The serious headsculpt here is also a KO.

Have you indeed managed to hide the white shirt so well?! That is fantastic!

Just took the coat off of mine and the purple staining is pretty bad on his shoulders, arms, and parts of his back. Sigh....if I was confident in painting, I could easily be made into bruising, but I don't want to **** him up more.

Yeah... for anyone planning on putting the jacket on consider making a plastic "shirt" for it to put under first. Mine hasn't stained by doing this.

No, those are there for good. This has been heavily discussed not only in this thread but every thread that has dark fabric touching body for years. You live and learn, sorry.
