Hot Toys Jokers




I never really knew the depth of my madness till I was actually holding the boxes containing my Hot toys Jokers, My hobby has graduated from diversion to full blown obsession. I consider these figures to be the pinnicle, the absolute apex, the jewel in the crown, to paraphrase another Joker’s tag line “I don’t know if its art but I like it.” Since I first started collecting 1/6 from the vary beginning Hot Toys was the top of the scale. I use to obsess over the HT SAS HALO jumper; I actually had one in my hand once and thought I will never own one of these. I was right I never did. It was this almost unattainable goal a treasured item. I guess my point is I see people on the boards and not that I am picking on anyone; certainly not anyone here. But you see posts on the boards about a new figure coming out and there is a fevered excitement, everyone’s pumped and drooling and gushing about how great it is and a number will say they are going to pre-order it right away. Then someone gets theirs and posts a few shots “Here look what I got” it almost seems like they show it to you shrug then toss it over there shoulder on to a pile behind them. I know that it is not really the case or not always really the case. I just kind of think where’s the jumping for joy where is the shouting from the roof tops? I know that sometimes I am a little child like, okay most of the time I am a lot child like and so maybe I get a little over excited about a new acquisition so consider this my shouting from the roof tops.
