An Awesome Dark Knight Figure You’ll Never Have


I was trying to figure out something interesting to say about DC Direct’s new series of Justice League International figures, starring Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Fire and Martian Manhunter, and eventually realized that it was futile. So here instead is an awesome custom Nurse Joker figure from The Dark Knight, courtesy of Toys R Evil. The toy uses a Hot Toys’ Joker, natch, but apparently someone is (illegally) selling a “nurse” kit for the figure somewhere on these great internets. I never realized what nice legs Heath Ledger had. Hmm.
