I'm not even going to insult anyone by trying to describe the Joker. The Crown Prince of Crime is Batman's most famous foe and is a mystery wrapped in an enigma and swallowed by an insane sociopath and we like him that way.
For Kids:
It's the Joker! He's been covered in comics, cartoons, TV shows and blockbuster movies. He's a Batman villain. He's well made and comes with great accessories. If your kid doesn't like this then send him or her to their room and keep it yourself. :-)
For Adults:
I suppose the Four Horsemen (the sculptors) 1) knew they had to knock it out of the park and 2) have a great love for this character because they did indeed knock it out of the park. His manically grinning face with sculpted lips and teeth both delights and terrifies (OK maybe I'm being a touch melodramatic for effect but...) with his swept back hair and laughingly scary face. His suit is done very well with a rubber coat and sculpted waistcoat (much like I wished they had done on the Question [DC Universe CHLD DCU FAN'S CHOICE]). The coat tails look great. His pants are standard but well made and he wears some dapper dress shoes. Some fine details are in the flower pinned to his chest and his bolo tie.
White face and teeth, red lips, green hair all very nice and no slop. His tie is dark and his flower yellow. The jacket and pants are purple and the pants have amazingly clean black pin stripes that look really good. His waist coat is an orangey / yellow and he had a green undershirt. The black and white shoes top (or bottom) him off. This is really top notch work and nice and colorful.
They've managed to keep all the usual articulation without it being hindered by any of the sculpt or outfit. Ball neck, ball shoulders with cut bicep, pin elbows and cut wrists. There is the ab crunch and cut waist, fully moveable hips, pin knees and ankles.
He comes with his piece of Imperiex and so much more! This line isn't really known for heaping on the accessories but they did it up for the Joker (who is THE MAN after all). He gets some fanned out cards that look fine. Next he has a smiling, red lipped, creepy Joker Fish. This looks great and he looks funny holding it. Third he gets a black cane topped by a really nicely sculpted golden Joker head. They put a lot of detail there. Lastly, and my favorite, he has a green wooden mallet with "J" inscribed in each side of the head. But best of all, look at the mallet from the bottom of the handle and you'll see the handle is actually a nose - nostrils and all - and a grinning Joker face is sculpted into the bottom of the mallet head. Just... classic! These are some really nice accessories, I just wish he could hold all four!
They really went above and beyond with this guy in every respect. As if the figure itself wasn't cool enough they then went overboard on the accessories as well. Let me just go ahead and slap a 5 star rating out there... Ah, there we go. HA HA HAAA!
Imperiex is a pretty cool collect and connect (CC) figure. His is black and red armor and cape with lots of gold highlights and every surface is sculpted. It's really colorful while being imposing at the same time. His face is skeletal with exposed teeth and menacing red eyes in taught wrinkled skin. But he has two issues. One, his head pops into the neck on a really long peg that just drops down into his body so his head just kind of floats, what I mean is there is no tightness to the joint at all so it's like a bobble head if you move him around. A really weird choice - he looks fine standing still but you have to finagle the head around to get it just right. Second is his size. You see Imperiex is supposed to be a planetary threat and huge in size but you wouldn't know it from this nine inch figure. Yeah, I know the days of Galactus and Sentinel 14 to 16 inch figures are behind us (for now) but this guy looks like maybe some Fourth World warrior or something not the living embodiment of entropy. Even with all that he's still a four star figure though if only for the amount of detail they packed into him.
