Hot Toys DX MMS The Dark Knight Joker

Hot+Toys+DX+Joker+_1200x900_ — Hot Toys DX MMS The Dark Knight Joker

If I could tell my younger self that one day I’d be gingerly pulling pants onto a 12-inch figure, being careful not to snag or tear them, my younger self would have had a good laugh. After all, as one of my good friends likes to say, I collect action figures – not dolls. Well, if the Hot Toys Joker from The Dark Knight is a doll, then a doll collector I’ve become.

Not that I didn’t see myself ending up here – my slide down the slippery slope began with the Medicom Real Action Heroes Goku and Piccolo and got cemented when I bought the VCD Gohan just for the Piccolo interchangeable head. But this is my first Hot Toys purchase. And judging from how I feel about this 12-inch action figure – not doll! – my wallet is going to be taking a beating.

Before I even got to the figures, I was astounded by how much actually went into the packaging. The inner box flips open to reveal a description of the Joker and his role in The Dark Knight as well as three full-sized playing cards.

Diamond Select Toys Reveals Two Iron Man 2 Minimates Assortments

I’m trying not to get too hyped for Iron Man 2 this summer, so I won’t be digging too deep on this reveal of five new non-Iron Man armors. And who ever thought we’d be getting Minimates of Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan? And is Happy holding a briefcase containing the Iron Man armor? I wonder if that thing opens up. Too cool.

Iron Man 2 Minimates – The Reveal!

Fans all over the world are gearing up for Marvel Studios’ next sure-fire blockbuster Iron Man 2 and at Diamond Select Toys we are excited to reveal details surrounding our previously Top Secret Iron Man 2 Minimates! Due in stores this March, two new assortments of Minimates are sure to thrill fans of all ages!

While one particular high-flying armor-clad character will remain hidden until the March release date, we can now reveal the full contents of our upcoming Marvel Minimates Series 35 Assortment and Iron Man 2 Single Pack Minimates Display. Rounding out the cast of Series 35 is the high-tech army builder paired with Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan – Hammer Industries’ Hammer Drone! Glimpsed only briefly in the Iron Man 2 trailer, not much is known about the Hammer Drones – except that Iron Man and War Machine will apparently square off against an entire squad of them at some point during the film.

The biggest reveal comes in the form of our Iron Man 2 Single Pack Minimates Display, a special set of individually boxed Iron Man 2 Minimates limited to only 500 cases. This set was under complete lockdown, however now we can reveal the full contents!

Each display will include 12 individually packaged Iron Man 2 Minimates, including:

Air Assault Drone

Ground Assault Drone

Sea Assault Drone

Tactical Assault Drone

Plus limited short-packs found in every case featuring:

Battle Damaged Hammer Drone

Justin Hammer

Styled after the four branches of the US Military, exact how these high-powered armors will come to exist and what their creation means for Iron Man remains to be seen – but we can’t wait to find out! Retailers can still order this limited set as part of their January 2010 Previews orders, so if you want these Iron Man 2 exclusives to become a part of your collection make sure you let them know before it’s too late!
