REVIEW: DC COMICS AMAZING YAMAGUCHI REVOLTECH JOKER
TOYFARCE REVIEWS:
DC COMICS AMAZING YAMAGUCHI REVOLTECH JOKER!
It's Wednesday. You know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week we’re checking out the latest Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech DC Comics figure, the Clown Prince of Crime himself, the JOKER! “haHAHAhAhaha”. Here are some packaging shots:
The Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech Batman is ready for this…

Inside
The figure comes with an alternative head (maniacal laugh), 3 extra sets of hands, a cane, a ‘shattering teeth’ toy (a toy that comes with his own toy…gotta love it!), and surprisingly… Guns! 2 revolvers, 1 prop revolver, and 2 submachine guns (had to google that), with fire effects!
A great feature of that figure (outside of the ridiculous amount of articulations) is that the eyes can be moved on both headsculpts, using a tool that comes with the figure. Cross eyed Joker is now a possibility, folks!
Now, as always with Revoltech, the figure has articulations on top of articulations. If you suck at posing, like I do, this figure will be a pain in the ass to manipulate. I did what I could! Those figures are hyper-articulated, and each part can move pretty easily, and hold great. No QC issues there (*cough* take note, MAFEX *cough*).
“TADAAAAA!”
“Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
“What would a villain be without a cane!”
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Not sure if this figure was made before Warner/DC decided to remove guns from toys, or if there’s still a misunderstanding with the weapons being added to the figure, but not present on the promo pics, but his weapons are pretty great too. (Although, MAFEX did send an email saying the guns won’t be present with the Armored Batman and HUSH Joker later this year, so who knows…)
The stand allows more fun poses, or you can get your Joker airborne if you want to display him while punched by Batman.
“Tee-hee!”
“I should go and take more pictures of the Comissioner’s daughter…”
“Say cheeeeeese!”
“Remember when I removed my face, and wore it as a mask? Weird times…”
Here’s a display of the articlations when stretched to the max, which looks very painful.
“I should go see my chiropractor again…”
“Well, well, well! Look who’s here…”
“Let your favorite clown give you a kiss… with his fists!”
“I just want to grab you…”
“…and bash your skull in!! Hahaha!”
“Whoops! That’s my cue! Bye, batsy!”
“Hahaha! I got you again with the oldest trick in the books! Seriously, it has to be the 1000th time by now!”
One of the coolest accessory are the “Haha!” bubbles that can be attached to his back (or on the stand), capturing that classing “The Killing Joke” look (which I have tattooed on my leg, humble brag).
The Revoltech figures are not for everyone, but look very nice on a shelf (#DetolfClub). Some don’t like the over-articulations, or the Japanese anime-like design on those, but if you can get past that, they are very cool figures (apart from Batman’s cape, which is shouldn’t have come in puzzle pieces, and still looks awful).
The Amazing Yamaguchi DC Comics figures (minus the ladies, Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman)
A group of Jokers is called “a circus”. You heard it here first!
Will you be picking this one up? Let us know in the comments!
More news at 11:00…and that puts a SMILE on my face!
