Based on the Joker as played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, the Clown Prince of Crime has been shrunk to Nendoroid-size, while retaining all of the homicidal charm of the original.

Featuring two equally alarming expressions, the Joker also boasts a purple trench coat with movable back, left and right sides, to allow for greater posing.

The figure also comes with a knife, a joker playing card and what’s described as “stacks of money,” but is actually just three stacks.

The perfect companion to the Nendoroid Batman: Hero’s Edition,

the Nendoroid Joker is available for preorder beginning today for about $30. It will ship in February.

Cassie Hack has faced a lot of terrifying monsters, and now she’s facing the biggest monster of all – New York Comic-Con! The slasher-hunting hottie of Tim Seeley’s hit horror comic book series Hack/Slash is now a 9-inch Femme Fatales vinyl statue from Diamond Select Toys, and NYCC 2015 will see the debut of a new exclusive variant, only available at the Action Figure Xpress booth!

Measuring approximately 9 inches tall, Cassie Hack strides along an axe head, holding her friend Vlad’s mask in one hand, and a spiked baseball bat in the other. This AFX-exclusive variant features a new red color scheme, instead of her regular blue and grey, including red striped gloves, a red plaid skirt, and red argyle socks. Packaged in an individually numbered window box, this red Cassie will be limited to only 1,000 pieces, and it will go on sale for the first time ever at booth 437 at New York Comic-Con.

Also at the AFX booth, NYCC attendees will be able to pick up limited quantities of AFX’s Comic-Con International exclusives from this past summer, including the Femme Fatales Justice League Supergirl statue, the Avengers: Age of Ultron Minimates box set, a Retro-Boxed Alien Minimate, and the Masked Predator bottle opener.
