Hot Toys is upping its game once again, with figures featuring the most lifelike look yet!
Known for its detailed collectible figures — bringing beloved characters from Marvel, Star Wars, Back to the Future, and more to collection shelves everywhere — the collectibles company has decided to raise the bar once more with its new Artisan Edition collectibles. These figures feature carefully made clothes, hand-painted head sculpts, adjustable eyes, and rooted wool hair, coming together for a piece that looks ready to move on its own!
The first two figures in the Artisan Edition line are fan-favorite villains. The first is a figure of The Joker as he appeared in The Dark Knight. This celebrates the 15th anniversary of the movie and the iconic performance from actor Heath Ledger. The 1:6-scale Joker figure comes with two interchangeable mouth pieces, an LED light-up diorama display base, and a whole host of accessories such as playing cards, a pencil, knives, and more. The figure will be available for preorder starting on Aug. 17.
Star Wars fans will be eager to hear that Anakin Skywalker is second in line for the Artisan Edition figure line. The figure is inspired by the character’s look in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Anakin comes with an interchangeable mechno-arm, an LED light-up lightsaber, a display base, and more. The figure will be available for preorder starting on Aug. 18, right after the Joker.
Each figure will be available exclusively from Sideshow, with RSVP list members getting first priority. Head over to the official website to get yourself on the list and be the first to own one of these limited-edition lifelike collectibles.
