I loved the Joaquin Phoenix Joker figure from Filix toys, but there was also virtually no other options for figures of that character. Now I've got plenty of Jokers, but for the live-action versions I tend to be one and done, plus my collection is a mix of 6-7 inch scale stuff, so I'm fine with the Neca version of Ledger's Joker as my one and only for this iteration of the character. This figure still looks great, I love that they loaded it to the brim with accessories. My only minor nitpick is on the standard head the streaks of makeup going down, at least to me, look a bit too much like paint splats rather than running makeup. Maybe it's just the lighting but every review I've seen the eye makeup looks a little too watery to me, like its not been properly blended with the face and looks more grey than black. Then again the further distances shots looks good, maybe I'm just used to the eyes contrasting more since that's how other figures usually do it. Who knows, heck I don't even really know what I'm saying, but it's a good looking figure either way.
Awesome figure. For me the one i love is the beast kingdom figure. The batman is good too. The black pipe is from the end of the movie during their final confrontation joker beats batman with pipe. Great review.
For that Billy club looking pipe, he used that in the final fight at the tower. It was when Batman was using his sonar, Joker beats him to the ground with it at the dogs are biting at him. Great review, as always!
This figure is still on my desk, and I can't stop looking at it. They outdid themselves on this figure. I am looking forward to their next figures now.
Filix Toys is blowing away even Mezco… the only thing is their wrist pegs might be a bit flimsy Can’t wait to see their 89 Jokers; the regular Jack and the mime Joker too
The knife is extremely flimsy too. Plastic is very brittle and I broke the switchblade by accident without much pressure at all. Glued it back together but it doesn't look the same. But the details are amazing despite these minor qc flaws.
Excellent review for an excellent figure. My problems with it are the same as yours: I wish it had more head options and I wish it scaled better with other Nolan Batman figures. Though I would love to see them do a Dark Knight Two-Face next
Mine came in Monday and 100% can confirm, this guy is great! He fits in perfectly with my Mezco Jokers; so much so I gotta grab an extra stand to fit him in even more. Well down Felix, I’m here for anything else y’all wanna put out, licenses be darned.
A bit of a bummer that he's taller than the Mafex DK. Ah well. I'll fudge it somehow. Thanks! Edit* Heath Ledger was actually taller than Christian Bale by over an inch. Still doesn't scale, but makes it less worrisome for sure.
Great review. I didn’t realize those were punch out playing cards. Mostly LOVE this figure! Only small issue is that my head doesn’t stay on very well, and it is difficult to put it back on because of the shirt. Other than that, it a near perfect 6” Heath Ledger Joker.
Weird, the head on mine is fine, but the second smiling head is SUPER tight. To the point I only swapped it twice and don't fell like doing it ever again, heh.
The Filix Phoenix Joker was also called Clown, and then I did a review of the Bullethead third party Ledger too. Basically...there's a lot of Joker figures out there, haha.
Between this and Rorschach Filix toys has been putting Mezco to shame in the clothed figures department, were they the ones who did that Mask figure also?
Hope you're getting some kind of kickback on these because I've already bought the Ink blot and Aehab figures that you've reviewed and this review has me seriously considering getting this "Clown". Just wish Lim toys would release a reworked "Aehab" so that he looked like he did in Metal Gear Solid 3.
Heath Ledger joker is becoming one of my most repeated figures in my collection. Iron Fist, Thor, Darth Maul, Ledger. Mafex, NECA, this, soon McFarlane. He's a unique take on the joker but one that's always the first I think of
This looks amazing. I'm very tempted. I'd really like to be able to get every iteration of Joker in the same style and scale - from Romero to Leto. But that seems an impossible feat. I don't know that even Hot Toys has done that.
This is the 800th comment about this I bet, but the pipe is for the end of the film, with the dogs and the skyscraper. I personally woulda threw in a duffle bag or a bodybag. Pipe is a weiiiiiiird option.
Just checked. The scale is correct, heath ledger stands at 6 ft 1 and Joaquin phoenix is 5 ft 8. Was thinking about this as an issue but now i think i will want to buy it.
The torso moves more than what you showed and also the jacket was easy to remove and put on with me Well tbh this is a good lightness but coming off from the recently released inart 1/6 scale joker this doesn't look as impressive as it would be if I hadn't seen that guy, which being honest that guy is the best Heath Ledger joker at any scale even compared to 1/4 scale figures
Dang that was an awesome review! I’m tempting to buy it! Fyi, the pipe was used at the end of the movie when Joker sends the dogs after Batman. He also uses it to hold batman down when he tries to detonate the boats. Awesome review again!
The thing at 7:10 that you said is kind of a pipe I think is the think the joker used to hit batman with when the the dogs and him atacked the batman on the fight before he got caught.
Definitely masterfully done. I mainly collect Star Wars Black Series, but watching your reviews has me purchasing outside of SW. This may have to be one of those. Damn it! 😁...& Thanks.
I got mine today and I'm just as impressed as you are! One question - did you have a hard time getting the alternate head to fit? On my copy it looks like the hole is actually smaller than on the main head
Okay Batman's supposed to be taller than the Joker (depending on artist), but I'm pretty sure Heath Ledger was a few inches taller than Bale. So you can easily justify it (pairing w/shorter Batmans) that way. However IMO they're toys, they don't have to "fit to scale" if you don't want them to, and if you Need them to, then you have a literal world full of options, from hunting down "the perfect one" brand new, or second hand, to making your own "perfect one" by kit-bashing, or sculpting, or re-engineering "trash". Literally the only limitations are your imagination and resources
@@TheFwoosh Fair enough, but for photos you can always use forced perspective. For on the shelf, yeah sure there's not really anything to fudge it. And please don't take this as a contrarian/neuh yer wrong thing, I's just tryin' to be helpful (and I might be a little high)
I think it's really cool how on one of the Joker Cards it says "Will the real Batman please stand up?"
Great attention to detail.
I'm always blown away when they paint tiny details like the glove buttons!
Me too. It's such a little thing, so inconsequential, but I absolutely love it.

Ordered this and the Mask a couple days ago. Can't wait to get them!
Awesome figure. For me the one i love is the beast kingdom figure. The batman is good too.
The black pipe is from the end of the movie during their final confrontation joker beats batman with pipe.
Great review.
Why is this third party in my opinion better than some official releases
Did DC reverse their no guns with the figures policy?
For that Billy club looking pipe, he used that in the final fight at the tower. It was when Batman was using his sonar, Joker beats him to the ground with it at the dogs are biting at him.
Great review, as always!

Apparantely both 89 Joker costumes are going up for preorder from them in april and may
@@nightwing1823 Yeah, I saw that - they should be pretty good!
Is there images anywhere?
Do a review

Oh yeah, I'll buy all the Filix Nolan Trilogy figures they want to make.
Wow, this is like a mini Hot Toy! $100 plus toy is ridiculous, but the amount of details is magnificent! They earned the money.
hot toys? i think you mean Mezco
I waited years passing and searchng for the ideal ledger joker figure, I think the wait is over
Same here.
Same to me. This is a blast
When you lost focus and did the teaser poster image--how amazing would it be to get a frosted sheet to recreate the poster with a Joker figure? 🤯
The whole point was to get rid of the cel shading?
In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves…..whoa
2:46 - "That purple is DEEP" - missed opportunity to add the first few chords of "Smoke on the Water."
That’s very impressive. Also, that black pipe thing is what he uses to beat Batman with when the dogs attack him.
Mine came in Monday and 100% can confirm, this guy is great! He fits in perfectly with my Mezco Jokers; so much so I gotta grab an extra stand to fit him in even more. Well down Felix, I’m here for anything else y’all wanna put out, licenses be darned.
Pretty sure the pipe is for when the joker is beating up Batman towards the end of TDK in that glass building.
A bit of a bummer that he's taller than the Mafex DK. Ah well. I'll fudge it somehow. Thanks! Edit* Heath Ledger was actually taller than Christian Bale by over an inch. Still doesn't scale, but makes it less worrisome for sure.
Joker is 6' 6 in the comics so it works
I already preordered the Queen Studios DK Joker... Damnit! Don't make me buy another Dark Knight Joker 😬😭
Good grief, that thing looks amazing!
I think the pipe on 07:08 was at the two ships scene. The Joker held that pipe while fighting Batman and waited for the explosion
Great edit
Great review. I didn’t realize those were punch out playing cards. Mostly LOVE this figure! Only small issue is that my head doesn’t stay on very well, and it is difficult to put it back on because of the shirt.
Other than that, it a near perfect 6” Heath Ledger Joker.
Weird, the head on mine is fine, but the second smiling head is SUPER tight. To the point I only swapped it twice and don't fell like doing it ever again, heh.
You probably didn't line it up correctly. When you push it all the way in, you can feel/hear a small pop.
Mine came with the heads in a separate box and I cannot get the damn head on. The shirt collar keeps getting in the way. It is pissing me off. Lol
You can never have enough Ledger Jokers
I definitely have to agree with that, haha.
That's crazy. It's like a mini-Hot Toys
Oooo that intro editing though!
Still learning, still playing!
@@TheFwoosh You're doing brilliantly!
Any reasonable options to buy this today?
I....I cannot help but think I already saw that review...Am I tripping? .0.
The Filix Phoenix Joker was also called Clown, and then I did a review of the Bullethead third party Ledger too. Basically...there's a lot of Joker figures out there, haha.
That's a fantastic head sculpt. I'm not a big fan of soft goods, though. That head on the MAFEX body would be the ideal Joker in my mind.
Between this and Rorschach Filix toys has been putting Mezco to shame in the clothed figures department, were they the ones who did that Mask figure also?
Robos t-shirt game is strong.
Hope you're getting some kind of kickback on these because I've already bought the Ink blot and Aehab figures that you've reviewed and this review has me seriously considering getting this "Clown". Just wish Lim toys would release a reworked "Aehab" so that he looked like he did in Metal Gear Solid 3.
FUCK YEAH!!!!
Only gripe of mine is the scale. Everything else: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Heath Ledger joker is becoming one of my most repeated figures in my collection. Iron Fist, Thor, Darth Maul, Ledger. Mafex, NECA, this, soon McFarlane. He's a unique take on the joker but one that's always the first I think of
Hiya Fwoosh,
What's going on with the skeletons you were producing? Thanks Man!!!
Hologram Ironman moved, Hologram Ironman moved. Back left corner right under Uatu. Boom found him again. yah
I was waiting for your review of Mafex Cyborg Superman but it seems like you didn't buy it...
This looks amazing. I'm very tempted. I'd really like to be able to get every iteration of Joker in the same style and scale - from Romero to Leto. But that seems an impossible feat. I don't know that even Hot Toys has done that.
Not to be off-topic but did anyone get the Beast Kingdom 1/12 Medieval Iron Man? Any thoughts?
I don’t know where to buy please somebody help me
Even Mcfarlane toys has a Heath Ledger joker coming
This is the 800th comment about this I bet, but the pipe is for the end of the film, with the dogs and the skyscraper.
I personally woulda threw in a duffle bag or a bodybag. Pipe is a weiiiiiiird option.
Awesome action figure review Robo Fwoosh 😇👍🙂😎
They need to make a Crow.. I've yet to see a perfect 1:12 Brandon Lee.. I'm pretty sure that these guys can knock it out
ruclips.net/video/52v9BsqipLY/видео.html
The mezco crow is perfect flawless
Just checked. The scale is correct, heath ledger stands at 6 ft 1 and Joaquin phoenix is 5 ft 8. Was thinking about this as an issue but now i think i will want to buy it.

Love the video and review. Favorite part is the "Where's Harvey Dent?" haha
i always have a budget set aside for figures and collectables, and i just blew the rest of it on this guy 😂. i do NOT regret it.
the pipe maybe from when the dogs are attacking Batman at the end and Joker is hitting him with a pipe
Dang that was an awesome review! I’m tempting to buy it! Fyi, the pipe was used at the end of the movie when Joker sends the dogs after Batman. He also uses it to hold batman down when he tries to detonate the boats. Awesome review again!

Damn thought it was P Diddy for a sec!
How does he scale with mcfarlane figs
What no ✏️? No duffel bag? 😏
Alternate head looks like Tom Holland
The alternate head looks like Mike Myers
Nope.. fun as f..
A mini hot toys?
For realll. It looks amazing.
He looks good but those fists look tiny 😮
:55 there’s a joker face on that box
Yeah, this figure looks amazing! I want it!
Unbelievably good.
Still waiting on mine to show up.. 😒
Beautiful figure 💯👍
Ordered him today!!!
It’s my birthdays
No DEEP PURPLE joke?
I look’s awesome 🃏
"i dont care"
Damn that cool
666th like!
BAM! 600!
Up
Definitely masterfully done. I mainly collect Star Wars Black Series, but watching your reviews has me purchasing outside of SW. This may have to be one of those. Damn it! 😁...& Thanks.
I was looking forward to your review but I was definitely expecting more comparison with the filix toys Joaquin Joker
Mine is "out for delivery" and i can't wait. I'm a little bummed this is bigger than Mafex Batman. I was hoping to pair with that figure.
Bro! When you had him shooting the machine gun, I flinched! LOL!!!
Amazing!
Very cool! I agree that the alternate head doesn’t look as much like Heath Ledger.
Best 1/12 version out there. The height may be debatable for the scale but you can always make it less by removing the sheen area part.
I got mine today and I'm just as impressed as you are! One question - did you have a hard time getting the alternate head to fit? On my copy it looks like the hole is actually smaller than on the main head
Love it. Now I need them to do Nicholson and Romero...and redo Phoenix.
I'm pretty sure you could find a different head sculp out there. Great figure!
Have this on pre-order. Can't wait to receive it now 🙌
You and Jay convinced me I need to own this figure
no McFarlane size comparisons?
Naw, those are a full head taller than these, not close to same scale.
@@TheFwoosh Thanks! Was curious how close this one was, being a "larger" 1/12.
We're getting a whole Dark Knight wave from McFarlane shortly that includes Joker. 🎉
Okay Batman's supposed to be taller than the Joker (depending on artist), but I'm pretty sure Heath Ledger was a few inches taller than Bale.

True, but there's also proportions. Pairing this Joker with MAFEX or SHF, Batman looks like a kid in a suit.
@@TheFwoosh Fair enough, but for photos you can always use forced perspective. For on the shelf, yeah sure there's not really anything to fudge it. And please don't take this as a contrarian/neuh yer wrong thing, I's just tryin' to be helpful (and I might be a little high)
I swear 3rd party companies are so advanced that mezco has nothing on them
