From Hot Toys: The Joker Collectible Figures from the Batman series have been receiving high accolade in the collectible market. Amid much expectation, Hot Toys again steps its foot (?) into the Batman series, presenting the long-awaited DX Joker Collectible Figure from the Batman movie directed by Tim Burton in 1989 with the likeness firstly granted by renowned actor Jack Nicholson for developing the 1/6th collectible figure.
This Joker Collectible Figure is truly movie-accurate, highlighting the highly detailed head sculpt with Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS), sophisticated costume and accessories.
Tim Curry, Willem Dafoe, David Bowie and James Woods were considered for the Joker. Robin Williams lobbied hard for the part. Jack Nicholson was producer Michael Uslan's and Bob Kane's choice since 1980. Peters approached Nicholson as far back as 1986, during filming of The Witches of Eastwick. [ source: wiki ]
Nicholson had what was known as an "off-the-clock" agreement. His contract specified the number of hours he was entitled to have off each day, from the time he left the set to the time he reported back for filming, as well as being off for Los Angeles Lakers home games.
Nicholson demanded to have all of his scenes shot in a three-week block, but the schedule lapsed into 106 days. He received a $6 million salary, as well as a large percentage of the box office gross. The fee is reported to be as high as $50 million. I think he deserved it. After all, some people went as far as saying that "Jack Nicholson stole every scene". Enjoy the pictures ;p

The price for this is a little more than the batman...
together as a two pack there are going to be almost 500.00 bucks (U.S. Dollars) WOW! I might have to learn how to print 100 dollar bills on my computer, this is getting out of hand. LOL!
perhaps you can print some for me too George haha i could use a couple of those ;p these TWO are a MUST HAVE for me, just glad I'm not into the vehicles - that 1:6 1989 Batmobile would have surely wiped me out.
Holy costume party! Another great figure to go along with the new Batman figure.
