The Joker is one of my favorite characters, ever. He started the trend of comic book villains coming back from their own apparent death. (It's up to you if that's a good thing or a bad thing) He was the first such character to do so. He was killed at the end of his first appearance, and came back. And a lot of changes took place with the character from his inception through to today. He was a killer in his original conception, then the Comics Authority Code took control of the industry due to overwhelming public pressure as a result of child violence, and comics became slapstick. In fact, the Joker was one of the first characters that was accused of inspiring child violence. He is oneof the most complex characters in all of comic books. As he should be, given his history.

LOL...I remember getting that figure at the mall just after the first Batman came out. I some how managed to loose the damn thing somewhere between the mall and the car. I pitched such a huge fit that my mother gave me more money and I went back in and bought another one.

but it was a good toy lol. Did you open it? or keep it in the case?I did not open mind, I avoided the temption to do it lol. It was a movie doll, and thsos are not around for ever.
Oh no, I opened it. I collect several different franchise toy lines, but open them all. I have more Star Wars figures than I can count.(it is my first love) All the Japanese Takara Batman figures, Lots of Gi Joes..new and old...He-Man, X-Men Marvel Legends. But, I open them all. I used to only collect Star Wars, then one day it dawned on me. I'll never be able to bring myself to sell them. So, why spend double the money on one to keep and one to open? When I can just buy one. Of course, when this Joker figure came out, I was still a little kid that never understood the concept of not opening a toy.
Sad actually, one of my best friend's parents buys his little twin brothers two of everything. But they leave both on the card..one set for each of them. But, some of my favorite childhood memories come from playing with my toys. What a shame they'll never have the same memories.
I pick and choose. When I open mind, as a kid, I just left the movie Joker in the box, because it was a movie toy, now BTAS Joker is open, paint wore off ete. Toys lost and such, And the Turtle toys are open too, I was sure they last forever lol.
But I understood the movie toy thing. Like I said, I pick and choose. I still collect the toys at 22, but I dont open them, more like the collcter thing relly. I was trying to get the Joker fire shooter thing a few months back, But Thus I could not find one lol.
