My Collection:DC Comics Batman "The Killing Joke" Joker ArtFX Statue

One of the best things that I own. Based on the iconic cover image of one of comics best stories.This classic Batman story comes to life in BATMAN THE KILLING JOKE THE JOKER! A 1988 graphic novel by Alan Moore and drawn by Brian Bolland, The Killing Joke is a story about Joker and how he came to be the Clown Prince of Crime.

Other than an interesting origin story for him, the book also features one of the most famous scenes in the history of comics: Joker shooting Barbara Gordon, which would in turn lead to her becoming the hero Oracle. Almost as famous as its contents is Joke's iconic cover image, captured for the first time as an ARTFX Statue! Featuring a portrait inspired by the graphic novel cover art coupled with an original pose by Kotobukiya, this new statue brings the maniacal clown to life as you've never seen him before .

The Joker's elongated white painted face leaps right off of the graphic novel cover with its deep laugh lines, left eye squeezed shut, and unruly green hair peeking out from under his hat.

This statue is awesome, I got this Christmas 2013, another wonderful Joker gift for Christmas. This is brilliant, large statue figure of the Joker, straight form the cover of one of me and my girlfriend’s favorite graphic novels. The Killing Joke was the fourth Batman book I bought. I am so so happy with this statue, I have never taken so many pictures of one object before. This is one of the coolest statues I have ever seen. and Thanks to my girlfriend I got it and it has become the biggest highlights of my collection. This statue is directly from the cover of the one of the most prolific Batman and Joker stories. It is a classic and held in very high regard. It is also the definitive Joker story.This statue came in a really nicely designed box. And I couldn't wait to take this statue out for display. It’s fantastic. the face sculpt is amazingly detailed. 


Leaping of the cover of one of the most famous Batman graphic novels of all time. This awesome piece, eye catching. This is more than just a statue, this statue has a motion sensor and flashes with sound.as it the Joker is taking your picture. 

SMILE !

For me, the only off-putting aspect with this statue was the cherub henchmen that was positioned underneath and looking up at the Joker’s crotch. I found this figure to be distracting and takes away from the Joker and this amazing statue. But thankfully this character is optional and I chose not to display it. There is a small bit of a assembling the required. simply placing the crate and the Joker onto the base. And then positioning the camera into the joker hands to hold. Thankfully you can get a close look at the Joker's face before it is hidden by his camera. The motion sensor feature works cool and can be turned of or on by a switch on back of the base. The lamp and the dynamite stick can be positioned where desired. This image is iconic and from one of the best loved Joker and Batman stories ever told.This Kotobukiya display piece is excellent, they are defiantly one of the best and most creative manufactures of collectors display pieces.

This is easily the best statue that I could ever own. I usually just go for figures. My other two statues were accompanied with the Batman Video games. This statue is specialist and superior quality piece. This is amazing statue. The greatest Joker collectors item anyone could ever own. it is an Outstanding and iconic piece.

Keep smiling

My Collection: Batman Arkham City Collectors Edition Statue

Batman Arkham City Collectors Edition Statue

I don't play many video games but I am a big fan of the Batman Arkham video games. Not because it's Batman, (well maybe) but there just really great games with a great story. The games felt like a continuation of the great animated series, more grown up and darker themes and featured some of the cast of the brilliant animated series and the story was written by veteran comic book writer Paul Dini who was also heavily involved in the animated series.

I've got all three of the games and I got this statue Christmas 2011. The collectors edition included an Collectible art book, Batman Arkham City: The album download, The Dark Knight Returns Batman skin, Penguin Challenge Map and Batman; Gotham Knight animated movie on Blu-ray. But the main draw for me was this great statue by Kotobukiya. This black and white statue is well detailed and looks great. The monotone colour scheme was a nice touch and makes the statue to mirror the promotional artwork for the game. The statues detail is great, the flowing cape and the detailing on the suit you can imagine what kind of fabric and material the various parts of Batman's costume is made from. I love the positioning of the figure, it's not centered on the base with his hand coming over the edge and in just position like he's about to glide down and pounce on some bad guy at any moment.


This was the first Batman piece of Collectors item that  I owned. It was proudly displayed next to my Marvel Select Daredevil figure on my shelf, exhibiting my interest in two of my favorite comic book characters.

More to come,

Enjoy
