With the Hong Kong Toy Fair coming up in just a few months, we should expect a few new additions to our toy collections, right? Well, Hot Toys is ready to add to your collection, if you manage to nab these figures in Hong Kong this October.
A few days ago, the makers of highly-detailed collectible figures, Hot Toys, announced their exclusive Toy Fair figures. Two of which of are very relevant to our interests.
We’ve got the Jared Leto-inspired Joker from the upcoming Suicide Squad and the trenchcoat-clad, desert-hopping Knightmare Batfleck.
Hot Toys had a pretty successful line of Batman v Superman figures. Apparently, they ain’t done yet! What was apparently missing was a figure for the Batfleck covered in sand, traipsing about a post-apocalyptic world, beaten by Superman soldiers and Parademons. Hot Toys is announcing the Knightmare Batman 1/6 scale collectible figure.

Peep the close-up shots of his gun. If you examine the photo you’ll see a Joker card duct-taped to it. That’s such an interesting little detail that I didn’t notice when I first saw the movie. Cool, huh?

As teased back in May, Hot Toys is announcing the Joker 1/6 Scale figure from the upcoming Suicide Squad. And it really looks like Jared Leto.
Check it out:
The figure actually does look like Jared Leto and the likeness is pretty breathtaking. I do love that this is just one version of the Joker in such an iconic location in the BatUniverse. Considering how many versions of Batman there were in the BvS line and that Joker seems to have approximately 80 costume changes based on the few scenes we’ve seen, there will likely be other figures. Maybe a Club Joker wearing the neon, glow-in-the-dark, purple trenchcoat or the tuxedo-clad Joker wielding straight razors and guns. Sounds fun.
