Sometimes dreams do come true.
For over 10 years, DC Comics has produced statues, action figures and busts through their own company, DC Direct. They’ve made some really cool stuff, but lately, they haven’t really been able to compete with the “wow-factor” of a company like Sideshow Collectibles. So when Sideshow recently announced that they would be producing collectibles based on DC Comics characters, I was one of the many people cheering.

The first DC Comics collectible from Sideshow is The Joker Premium Format Figure. What is a Premium Format Figure, you ask? Generally, it’s a highly detailed statue standing approximately 24 inches tall (1:4 scale) and featuring mixed media (cloth, polystone, metal). In layman’s terms, it’s a very cool museum piece…as in “the quality is so high that it could be in a museum). Each piece is hand-painted and individually numbered.

The Joker Premium Format Figure looks simply outstanding. I haven’t had a chance to see it first hand yet, but I’ve spoken with many people who have seen it and they can’t stop raving about it. If you’re a Batman fan, this looks to be the definitive comic book version of the Joker. Sideshow hasn’t announced an edition size yet, but this is a limited edition Batman collectible. And if past sales have any bearing, the Joker Premium Format Figure is likely to increase in value on the secondary market in the years to come.
Whether you’re a fan of the Joker, Batman or high quality DC Comics collectibles. you can’t go wrong adding this Premium Format DC Statue to your collection.
