'Why so serious?' Lighten up with this brilliantly detailed bobble head of the Joker!
If you play your cards right, this guy will keep you in stitches!
As the Joker said, 'Why so serious?'
Lighten up and take home this brilliantly detailed bobble head of Heath Ledger as the Joker! The criminal mastermind is colorfully dressed in his purple and green costume, and is flashing a hand of cards.
Fashioned of resin and standing about 6-inches tall on a themed base, The Dark Knight Joker will keep you in stitches! He's also the perfect companion piece to The Dark Knight Batman (sold separately). 1 reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman's war on crime.
With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts the city into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing that line between hero and vigilante.
Product Description: The war for Gotham City in this summer's blockbuster film, The Dark Knight, comes home with these head knockers based on the film! The Batman Head Knocker adheres to every nuance of Christian Bale's portrayal of Batman, from the painstaking detail on the bat suit to Batman's stern visage beneath the cowl. The Joker Head Knocker is a highly-detailed and movie-accurate piece that captures the essence of the late Heath Ledger's intense performance as the Clown Prince of Crime. Sold separately, these head knockers stand 8" tall.
Why so serious? I've read other reviews that lamented about the price of the Heath Ledger Joker Head Knocker and can understand why the other reviewers were upset at the price gouging of supply and demand. Thankfully, supply has returned and the price is ball park for most bobbleheads. That said, about the item itself...
I was very excited to have found it. Online it looked great. When I received it, my initial reaction was that I thought that it would have been bigger, at least in regards to other headknockers I own, but this was only an initial response based upon comparison. Right now it sits by my computer, and I apreciate it between navigating my day to day.
Honestly, Neca outdid themselves on this piece. Neca is the high bar for images of this kind, period. But here, they produced a whimsical statue with a scary resemblence to the late Mr. Ledger. The detail is exceptional,almost elegant. The paint applied is subtle, not slapped on. This is something well done and if you enjoy this type of imagery, and if the character speaks to you,I strongly urge you to include it in your collection.
It's well worth it. And as far as head knockers, bobbleheads, or whatever you want to call them ... this rendition of the "Clown Prince of Crime", is a crown jewel.
End of serious discussion....the fun is in having.
The Joker is staring at me with that evil smirk as I write this review I got this for much cheaper than listed here, but it still cost me about double the price of the average Batman bobble head, and we all know why. It doesn't look quite as good as the picture on here (they never do), but it does look very nice and is a great collectable for any fan of The Joker, Heath Ledger, or The Dark Knight movie. I put mine by my computer and he is shaking his head at me right now. I think he wants me to stop talking about him.
Awesome collectible I bought this one for myself and the Batman one for my sister. They are both awesome. The likeness on both is very good. I'm surprised they haven't sold out of these, but that's great news for anyone who wants one. The price has gone up since I bought mine, so it would be a good idea to shop around. In the meantime, I think I need to buy the Batman one for myself as well.
Here's My Card... This is a nice bobble head to have and I'm glad I got it early and at a good price.
Awesome Joker- Ledger Collectible!!! Bought this from, another website for $14.99 + S & H which made it comeout to $20, when it's on Amazon.com for $50!!!! Heath Ledger had a Oscar-Worthy performance in the Dark Knight (which I have scene twice!!) Awesome collectible for an awesome price!!!!!!!
