Today we will be taking a look at The Comedian Joker, also known as the Killing Joke Joker from the book Batman: Three Jokers. The story tells us that there as always been different jokers running around. This Joker was the one that was in the story The Killing Joke, in that story among other things, Joker shot and crippled Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl.

PACKAGING:
Before we open this up, let's take a look at the packaging.
Taking a look at the front, the top of the box lets us know that the figure has 22 points of articulation. below that, we have a big window that lets us see the figure and everything he comes with. At the bottom of the box, we have the DC Multiverse logo and the figure’s name, The Comedian Joker.
Turning the box to the side we have the figure’s name and where he is from, Batman: Three Jokers.
The back of the box gives us a look at the figure’s collector card that is also inside the box. Below that we have the rest of the figures you can pick up.
Turning the box around one more time we get a small window that lets us see the figure.
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX:
Let's open the box and take a closer look at the figure.
Taking the Joker figure out of the box we can get a good look at him. The way they made the jacket makes it look like the plastic is really fabric. it’s a really nice touch. The Joker’s head sculpt is also really well done, I love it.

SIZE COMPARISON:
How does the size of this figure compare to others?
Joker stands right a little over 7 inches tall
First, we have Joker standing next to the other two Jokers that McFarlane Toys has released.
Next, we have Joker standing next to the Batman Detective Comes 1000 variant.
RATING:
What are Baby Huey's scores for the figure?
PAINT JOB 5/5
While the paint on the figure itself is a little bare, it really makes up with it with all the paint on the face. They really killed it
FIGURE SCULPT 5/5
The figure looks perfect. Just how this joker should look
POSING 4/5
posing him can be a little hard at times. even though the jacket is a softer plastic it is still not that soft overall.
ACCESSORIES: 3/5
The WB needs to get rid of this no-guns rule, it is hurting the figure’s accessories.
DURABILITY 4.5/5
I do worry about the jacket breaking down over time since it does use a softer plastic.
OVERALL SCORE 4.3/5
For right now, since I don’t have the other two jokers, this is my new definitive Joker.
RETAIL COST: $19.99
I picked mine up at my GAMESTOP
TIME FOR SOME TOYING AROUND!!
So another year has come and gone, this year like the year before wasn’t the greatest but at least we did get some really cool toys and action figures. I just want to thank you all for all the love and support you all give me, this would not be possible if not for all of you so thank you!
