The gas mask wasn't supposed to stay in place, you see him holding it up during the movie. Also, only thing it could've used was the hand buzzer. Aside from that, I'm still in awe at the detail; this is easily the definitive depiction of Jack's Joker.
Paul, thank you for reviewing this figure! Again, because of you, I bought this one new for a fair price. I found it on a Dutch comic site I stumbled on by accident. Really love this one.
This is probably Hot Toys' best likeness. I've seen this figure up close and it really is amazing. It's great you record in HD so people can appreciate how good he really looks. The only thing he's missing is the hand buzzer. But other than that, he's perfect
Man... the intro is just pure Optibadassismus! Really nice in-depth review, you pointed out EVERYTHING! Just... amazing! One of, if not, the BEST reviewers on YT! AMAZING!!!
See, I know I will never, in any sort of lifetime I'll have, own this figure. But your reviews are so good, that it kinda feels like I did buy it. You do such an amazing job detailing everything and explaining what's included. I love the reviews, and I've been waiting for this one since your Hot Toys Batman figure review. Thanks for the reviews!
@optinotimus I just adore your reviews and the immaculate way of how you break down the details and pros and cons of each figure you purchase . Much respect for You Bro ! keep it up ! Cheers :)
I would have loved to see the painted face and the museum outfit along with the other versions of the painted face (when he wiped sweat off his head and when Vicki Vale threw water on his face.)
I picked up mine at Forbidden Planet in NYC . It was around the time of initial release date of the figure. To me, it's the pride of my Batman collection.
Great review. The movable eyes are eerie. At 6:33, I thought "Wait 'til they get a load of Me!" I remember back then, the only way to get a realistic looking Nicholson Joker was the unpainted Billiken vinyl kit at 1/6 scale. I spent some time painting it, especially with the plaid pants!
I'm half expecting that thing to come to life and start wise cracking. Great review, I've had my eye on this figure for a while now I'll definitely pick it up if I get the chance!
Like all of the Hot Toys releases I've seen, this thing is incredible. Though the eyes are an amazing feature, the things that blow me away are the $100 bills. Not only are the stacks individual bills, but each bill is amazingly detailed! That kind of attention to detail is really what keeps Hot Toys at the top of their game.

Dad won't let me watch The Dark Knight, but from what I've heard, that one pales in comparison to Jack Nicholson's Joker. To describe my issue with the TDK Joker is to quote him. "Why so serious?" The Joker shouldn't be creepy, he should be funny.
I respectfuly disagree. The Joker's is primarily a criminal mastermind, a scheming supervillain, a sadistic psychopath. These facets naturally lead to him being creepy. The way that Nicholson's Joker killed his loyal right-hand-man, Bob was quite shocking/creepy, as was the way he created "art", experimenting on his lover, Alicia. Jack's OTT performance and lines were/are very amusing, but Ledger does have his amusing moments too. He also imbued the character with a lot more depth. Like Bond, it all depends how you want the character to be, and which portrayal ticks the most boxes for you.
@6:16 But that's a tautology. You can't say "PERS system", because it stands for Parallel Eyeball-Rolling System, so you're basically saying "parallel eyeball-rolling system system".
WOW!!!!!!! Outstanding! great review man, always do a wicked job! lots of info and detail in your reveiw. As a matter of fact, i ordered him 5 mins after i saw your review! thanks a lot for all the amazing vids!
Great review sir, Jack was The Joker for me too as a kid so I do love this figure. I hope they come out with the secondary version you mentioned. I'd like to try to get that one cause I missed out on this one sadly. I'd really like to get the Heath Ledger DX Joker also they did such a great job on both figures. they really captured both actors perfectly in their separate portrayals of the character.
It's funny your doing this figure. I just got him in the mail yesterday! Love it too, great figure, this is also my joker and batman that grew up with.
Great Review man... I love the all of the Batman hot toys figures.. Especially the 1989 figures because I grew up with that batman.. Keep up the reviews opitibotimus.. they are great..
Then you could call a 1$ bill as a stand too for him. That piece of plastic is supposed to be used with a flashlight behind to get the face symbol on the walls or ceiling like in the end of the old batman movie
you clearly misunderstood what I said, what I meant was that he never wore the flower with the tuxedo in any scene other then the museum scene, but he did wear it with his trench coat. Yes he did wear it with the tuxedo but he had his human skin makeup on, I'm just pointing this out for complete accuracy when displaying him, because there are a lot of people out there who want everything to be perfect, like myself.
this is so cool :) im a 90's baby and i have watched that batman and he is the one i grew up with :) great review man :) godbless review more sir :) your awesome men.
WOW, the moving eye feature is AMAZING!!!

Jack Nickelson was the TRUE joker above heath ledger (he was good aswell) but not neating Jack....
*YOU CAN CALL HIM... THE JOKER*
IceRanger Heath is better, hands down. His performance was amazing, he was a legend. Jack’s was good too, but he did better in the Shining.
I will say this one time only, nicholson did the best comic joker. ledger did the best irl joker
IceRa
Ledger was the best Joker, Nicholson was a great Joker but Heath reinvented the Joker in a way thats even better than the iconic comic Joker.
Ledger was an AMAZING Joker but in my book he will never top Jack Nicholson
"Tell me my fraind did you ever dance with a devil in the pale moon light"? :)
Nice reference
It's more like 'I always say it of all my prey, I just like the sound of it.'
LEGO ARIQ fraind?

+Roadman1000 They should make a 2.0 like that!
WAIT TILL YOU GET A LOAD OF ME
Another fantastic in depth review ive seen so may reviews of this figure but your one by far is the best out there thanks.
The music in the intro, was that in the score for the movie and just reused for the animated TV show or was that just TV?
The best action figure ever made I think.
I picked up mine at Forbidden Planet in NYC . It was around the time of initial release date of the figure. To me, it's the pride of my Batman collection.
un-real. seriously...these are amazing. nice job dude
Great review. The movable eyes are eerie. At 6:33, I thought "Wait 'til they get a load of Me!" I remember back then, the only way to get a realistic looking Nicholson Joker was the unpainted Billiken vinyl kit at 1/6 scale. I spent some time painting it, especially with the plaid pants!
great review paul. i also grew up with this joker. love it. and love the work u do to bring these things to us
Damn! That joker looks alive.
what was the B for?
Paul didn't u say u would get the bat mobile or review it during ur Batman review?

Brilliant looking Joker.... are you also getting the Mime version when it's released?
Will you be doing any more Hot Toys reviews? If so keep up the good work! :)
Nice review, finally I recently bought Hot Toys DX 08 and DX 09 😉
one of my favorite reviews from the great optibotimus
Hey optibotimus! Are you gonna review the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Red Snapper?
Hey botimus is there a batman figure like this, and if so, will you be reviewing it?
Whoa!!! The eye movement thing is amazing! I'd say you can get him into some spectacular poses! :D
Great Review man... I love the all of the Batman hot toys figures.. Especially the 1989 figures because I grew up with that batman.. Keep up the reviews opitibotimus.. they are great..
The joker holds the gas mask on his face with his hand so its not supposed to stay on by itself
hey optibotimus how much is joker??
He's long since sold out so he will probably cost you a lot more
optibotimus not surprised
Great as always Paul! Big fan greetings from Belgium!
They are the #1 Small Business of the year. Sean Long promotes them all the time.
do hot toys have the TV show joker also or not
Mp 17 and 18 are now for sale online.
I think the Iron man figures used to have Light-up bases feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
@timothy you know that deadpool and joker are 2 differant comic universes right?
Born in 85 this film started it all for me this joker in my opinion is the best of all time this version is all time great
@ optibotimus could you review the hot toys predators
There are now because prowl and blue streak are out at bbts and tfsource. Please review them.
Nice Review! It was fun to watch! Congrats to this Masterpiece of a Figure^^
Big Bad Toy Store has him in stock. That's where I got mine, got him yesterday.
Wow, that is spectacular! Really nice review as always.
What is the exact height of the Joker???
Are there any plans to make a 1/6th scale Bob figure??? He is the joker's Number 1 guy, after all.
Thanks for the review, Paul.
hey optibotimus do you think they should do a hottoys penguin from batman returns
congrats on 48k subs!
What is with the random letter that popped up on the screen? Great review btw
Amazingly detailed, very nice display piece.
Amazing review optibotimus!
loved the music, brought back memories of when i watched the animated show as a kid :'), awesome figure:)
Can you do the S.H. Monster Arts figures?
how much is it?
Not yet, they only have the Movie kinds of Joker, the ledger version and this one as of today
As soon as i saw pics, i was saying to myself, "The Pen....Is truly mightier than the sword!!" hahah
Where does he get those wonderful toys?
This great review makes me want to watch the movie. Keep up the great work. :)
Awesome! I still wanna get this, I just wish it was bit cheaper maybe close to $200.
YES!! Thank you, Paul! I love the Hot Toys figures
Thank you for a great review on this masterpiece!!
Then you could call a 1$ bill as a stand too for him. That piece of plastic is supposed to be used with a flashlight behind to get the face symbol on the walls or ceiling like in the end of the old batman movie
the flower actually doesn't go on his tuxedo coat, it goes on his bigger trench coat, hope that explains things for ya!
That thing is TERRIFYING! So awesome! What he needs though is an alternate flesh make-up head so he can do the museum scene
I want one but I can't find it
What's the money made out of?
have they done the heath ledger joker ? id love to have both versions side by side.
sweet, thanks for the info.
When is your ultimate beast hunter prime revue coming?
It's the 30th anniversary of the movie this year
That eye movement.....was sick! ^_^
Great review as always!
Wow this is just so cool I am very impressed.
here's an idea for accessories for a custom figure, "you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would ya?"
its in the description of this video
Man your stammering and studdering with the high pitched voice is WOW.
awesome review! thank you for posting this :)
Love this review. Great job
that intro was awesome!
you clearly misunderstood what I said, what I meant was that he never wore the flower with the tuxedo in any scene other then the museum scene, but he did wear it with his trench coat.

such a realistic figure so cool. great review!
In one of the comic-book endings, it turns out that the Joker was actually Alfred dressed up to make Batman feel better
this is so cool :) im a 90's baby and i have watched that batman and he is the one i grew up with :) great review man :) godbless review more sir :) your awesome men.
Awesome review. Love mine.

THOSE EYES!!! O.O xD That was a great review. :)

He needs Bob. "You...are my number one *inhale* agUYYYYYY..."
The Joker is my favorite villian of all time and one of my favorite DC characters.
Yeah, he's a cool villian.
