This is the first "collector's" action figure I ever received. It was Christmas, 2004, and I had seen this Joker (from the Dark Knight Returns DC Direct series) in a comic shop. I half-jokingly asked for it for Christmas, and my mother (not jokingly) said: "But what would you do with it?"
I didn't really have an answer, but that didn't stop her from getting it for me.
As far as articulation goes, this figure is sorely lacking; he's got joints at the neck, shoulders, and waist, and... that's it. However, he did come with two detailed pistols that look pretty awesome, and I really like the interplay between the colors of his paint. The white suit is pretty unusual for a Joker incarnation, and I think this Dark Knight Returns manages to pull it off well, and look damn cool in the process.
