Square Enix Unveils Play Arts Kai DC Variant Joker Batman Figure

Batman attempts to get into the minds of his infamous rogue's gallery on a daily basis, but if he ever dives too far into that infernal madness, awful things can happen. That's the premise of the newest Play Arts Kai Batman: Rogues Gallery series.

The newest addition to the line features the dark knight as arguably his greatest villain, The Joker (via Toyark). His armor is replaced with a tattered straightjacket, which is adorned with green highlights, plenty of silver buckles, and a utility belt that houses things like dynamite, a flower, pepper spray, and an alarm clock (possibly an ode to Flava Flav). The design is lent further creepiness with the stilted and off-kilter poses you can recreate, as the figure features over 30 points of articulation.

Wha really sells it is the crazed expression and those creepy piercing eyes. It makes some of the poses hit even harder, such as the one featured in the photos where he's holding a gun to his temple. He doesn't just come equipped with the pistol, however, as the figure also includes a knife, a Batarang, playing cards, a bang flag, and four swappable hands. If the grin isn't your cup of tea, you can also swap the portrait out for a more menacing expression.

The figure is priced at $199.99 and is expected to ship sometime in March of 2017. You can view more photos of the impressive figure in the gallery. If you want to add him to your collection, you can pre-order him here.
