Over the past month, we’ve seen three different companies announce statue based on The Joker from The Dark Knight. Those have included Prime 1 Studio, Iron Studios, and Queen Studios. That market is getting a little more saturated with another company entering the fray. JND Studios has revealed their Joker 1/3 Scale Statue. The new statue is going for the high-end market, with a fantastic looking, highly detailed collectible. It has a mix of silicone, glass eyes, a tailored fabric outfit, and rooted hair. The 26″ tall statue on a themed base, and will include swap out hands, including one holding a knife, and one holding a sub-machine gun.
Toyark sponsor Big Bad Toy Store has opened up pre-orders for the statue. It’s priced at $2,499.99, and is due for release in the Fourth Quarter of 2021. Check out the new photos after the jump.
The Dark Knight - The Joker Statue by JND Studios
Am I the only one burned out on Ledger Joker? Why is there such a severe lack of Joaquim Phoenix Joker merch? No action figures from DCC, DST, NECA, Mafex, Mcfarlane, or Hot Toys despite the widespread praise for the portrayal and his Oscar win, yet we got plenty of Jared Leto figures in multiple scales, and after 12 years companies keep churning out Ledger figures/statues for those who aren't already tired of the obsession over him. Is it too much to ask for a 6-7" Phoenix Joker figure instead? Is there some kind of expensive likeness rights issue with him just like the one preventing us from getting a Jack Nicholson Joker 6" figure??
It also seems Warner Bros. had no interest in licensing the movie when it initially came out. But after its success they probably had to. By that point, companies like McFarlane and Hot Toys already have their releases/reveals planned out for the next year.
I thought I read that Todd Phillips put the kibosh on merchandise for the film.
That’s likely. But those restrictions have been lifted somewhat as their are officially licensed statues coming from Prime 1, Queen Studios, and Iron Studios.
