I like the Harley one, but the other one should have gone to Deadshot since he was far more important to the movie than Joker.

They're cute, but I'd rather see Nendroids based off of the original character designs from Batman: The Animated Series.

The Joker Nendoroid sure is creepy but I'd rather have the Joker from Batman the animated series. Of course if Good Smile released a Batman Beyond Nendoroid I would be thrilled. Cool

I'm definitely getting that Harley sometime. I didn't have an issue with Leto's Joker except for a lack of twisted humor (but given the amount of screentime cut from his performance it very well might've been there and gone to the cutting room floor). That said, I don't love any of the expressions they gave his Nendoroid, so I'll pass.

Wonder if this means we'll be seeing Figma of them?

Yeah Joker's expressions aren't very accurate. Also his eyes should have been worked on a little longer... not feeling the Leto-ness. Gonna get that Harley for certain.

Joker looks really nightmarish, even as a Nendoroid.

Now they should for the hell of it, have a B&R's Poison Ivy figure.

Yes, I went there. Laughing

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that thought the Joker figure's face was off. I think it's the wide mouth that throws me off. It lacks depth and that sort of makes it look like that meme face that shots lasers or whatever it does.

Nothing can ever live up to Batman: The Animated Series, can they? Every new Batman story that isn't in a comic book seems to always get compared to it. It was a very good series, but it's not the be-all end-all. (And while I haven't seen Suicide Squad, I dolike the visual design of the movie.)

B: TAS has the first appearance of Harley Quinn in particular, so I think it's fair to compare every subsequent version of her character to the original. Perhaps not for the Joker, though.
Plus it was a damn good show.

I suppose so. But if one didn't know any better, the rate at which any Batman story gets unfavorably compared to Batman: The Animated Series, you'd think it was the only good Batman story there was.

It's like the reverse of Aquaman: Just as Aquaman can't seem to escape his shadow cast from SuperFriends, Batman can't seem to escape his shadow cast from Batman: The Animated Series (not even other Bruce Timm works).
