If you guessed that I'm excited about the release of The Dark Knight film on July 18th, you'd be right. I have my tickets for the IMAX showing already bought and paid for, and with every trailer and sneak peak my anticipation builds. With such a couple dirth of figures at the stores though, I was very happy to see DC Direct get their 13" Deluxe figures out early. As you know, I've not been a big fan of the deluxe series, but I'm happy to say that the Joker is the best figure in the line to date, and is actually worth the bucks. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Batman, but there's always Hot Toys. You can find all the reviews at the usual: www.mwctoys.comThanks for reading! Michael MWC

thanks for that Michael, it cements in my mind that the Joker and Batman from Hot Toys are going to be much better purchases (despite the much higher price) than the DCD versions. the DCD Batman just looks "off", compared to how accurate and lfelike the Hot Toys Batman looks to the Begins suit, and the HT Joker also looks awesome, so lifelike like it's just a miniature Joker standing there, whereas the DCD figure just looks like a toy.
the one good thing the DCD Joker has going for it is the variety of accessories, the mask, gun, knives, etc., while the HT Joker only has 1 knife, and a few playing cards and some dollar bills.

They run around $80 - at the end of the review were a number of places you can get them. They are already out, but I don't expect the Joker to last too long.

the one by Hot Toys? on ebay it's available for pre-order, they say it will ship around the end of August. but on some other listings they say they will ship within 30 days of your order being made, so they may start to be available at the end of July or the start of August. it'll be worth the wait though. i just wonder how the Takara version will stack up against the Hot Toys version.
