"The pen is truly mightier than the sword. But I left my pen in my other coat." |
Jack Nicholson's 'mime' Joker from the 1989 Batman movie! You really get the impression when looking at this minifigure that this is how The Joker would have looked had Tim Burton not held back a bit on his first Batman outing. The minifigure came with a standard LEGO Joker hairpiece but there's no point in having that piece when you have the top hat! He also came with a sword, I assume since LEGO doesn't make a feather quill.
The BootLEGOers often go further than one would think they need to, considering the fact that they are making these figures illegally and selling them for pennies. Mime Joker is no exception, as he includes tails for his fancy coat!
Another BootLEGO Joker new on the scene is Bat-Joker!
Bat-Joker comes with a grappling gun/hook, two faces printed on his head (under the cowl he's Leto Joker, complete with 'Damaged' tattoo on his forehead.) and printing details galore all over the minifig. Another BootLEGO I couldn't live without!
You can find these guys (and more) on eBay for waaay cheaper than your official LEGO minifigure. I'm not saying you shouldn't be buying official LEGO minifigures, you should, but when things like these don't exist in any official form, well, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
Nice! I recently bought a ton of BootLego, always see another I need it seems
ReplyDeleteThat's really fantastic!
ReplyDeleteNot bad for a bootleg
ReplyDeleteMan, the BoogLego-ers are really hitting it out of the park!
ReplyDeleteThe actually do make a Lego quill piece. It came with the Lego movie William Shakespeare minifigure. A pretty easy figure to track down to complete the Jokers look!
ReplyDeleteI'll track one down! Thanks for the tip!
