It's been awhile since I made a Joker custom. Seems there was a time when I was adding him to the site on a regular basis. Well, it's time for a new one.

This version of the nefarious clown is based on his appearances on Justice League. The design is more or the less the same as the one seen in Return of the Joker, but I wanted to make a figure that was closer in scale to the Mattel figures. (Plus, I can produce a more accurate custom this time.)

The base is Mattel's animated Joker figure. The cummerbund was removed and the vest added via Magic Sculpt. Vinyl was used to make the pants and sleeve cuffs.

The head was the real meat of the project. I started by slicing the head just above the existing lower teeth. The open mouth area was removed, and the two halves were reattached and smoothed over. This resulted in the requisite "smaller" head of this Joker design. Much of the original hair was removed, and new hair added with Magic Sculpt. Finally, the whole head was repositioned with a new neck, as it seems this new Joker has very bad posture.

The tiny Joker card was an image found and printed off the internet. (Sadly, I didn't save the image. Sorry folks!)

One can never have enough Jokers. (Or Harleys.)

Naturally, just after I finished my custom version, Mattel announced theirs. While they didn't bother to create an accurate body, the head sculpt is top notch. A quick head swap (and repaint of the new head) yielded the following result:
