MAFEX JokerThe Dark Knight Returns DC Comics Batman Medicom Action Figure Review
Ойын-сауық
I liked the Medicom MAFEX The Dark Knight Returns Batman so much that I had to grab the Joker. Not that I'm a big fan of TDKR or this look for Joker, but I needed the pair, y'know? And I'm always curious about MAFEX releases so I couldn't help myself.

Obi-Wan, we need you to come with us
Growing up the first Batman comic I ever read was Dark Knight Returns Part 2, and from then on the image of Joker with a snapped neck with batarang in his eyes has been in my head since. This figure beautifully captures the essence of The Joker from that comic.
There's no way I'm going to say "the hell with you, Robo" Even if you the property or characters, it's fun to watch you have your own "interpretation" of them. We all love you and keep being awesome. Ps, I still remember your own "interpretation" of ULTRAMAN and his cape, it was hilarious
The bright white is literally my favorite joke out of any review ever. Never gets old bro😂
I’m surprised he came with a cigarette. Didnt Mafex remove a cigarette from another figure after picturing it in promos?

Yeah, cigarette but no gun. Effin silly.
This is a great figure. Mafex has done a great job of being faithful to the source material. I may have to pick this up.
I can’t believe Mezco has yet to make this.
Man you deserve far more subscribers than you currently have your reviews are spot on!
This was a solid review bruh. I do have the Mattel version and trust me the articulation isn't that much different from this one that is the only reason I passed on this guy. If you do happen to find your Mattel version can you post a picture of it on your IG?
This is one of my favorite adaptations of joker simply because of how much of a psychotic asshole he was 😂😂 him running through the tunnel of love was so nuts
Thanks as always Robo! Appreciate you! Stay Blessed!
“Knife wielding hands” technically correct but that pose was a bit suss 😂
You're my favorite presenter Robo great stuff, thanks!
The Dark Knight Returns Joker figure is awesome 🔥
I loved the dark night returns! glad to see another amazing figure that cost more than my entire life!!
I love the dark knight returns n its joker. But can understand why people dont like the design. I love him n will be getting him. Good review robo.
The first head makes him look like Jaws from Bond
It’s one of these rare cases where I think the cheap Mattel version beats the higher end Japanese version. This one’s got interchangeable hands, more accessories and a better range of articulation, definitely. However the Mattel one did boast a cleaner sculpt, a lot more shading on the hair and face, the neutral face had more of sardonic expression and it also came with a great looking 2nd head sculpt, the one-eyed manic Joker. I also prefer the more vibrant purple used by Mattel. I just don’t feel the need to replace the older one in my display. But this one’s nice, for sure.
I just received mine and I love it!
Dope review robo🔥🔪
I actually did get the Mattel figure for custom fodder, made a comic version of The Mask from it. Kinda wanted to get this figure to make a more articulated version, but didnt wanna destroy a $90 figure
I really hope they add his handgun When he shoots up the carnival. Idk why they didnt add that.

They removed it last minute since DC now haves a "no gun" policy on marketing certain characters with weapons so they have to censor the guns in photos even in showing the full list of accessories. Which Mezco did with a few figures.

Marvel and DC are just killing me. DC won't show gun accessories with their figures, but we get the cigarettes, meanwhile I'm still miffed at revoltech wolverine losing his cigar.

Yes! Another Joker for the shelf. Mine is in my pile of loot. Mezco Gaslight Joker is on the way as well.
I always loved tdkr joker. So good
It blows my mind that packages from Tokyo get to my house faster than packages going across the U.S
He looks epic next to the Batman
He reminds me of handsome Squidward
omg looooks so good
BRIGHT WHITE!
Is this smaller than the Mattel one?
MAFEX did Lynn's colors justice
3:12 yes I was lmao
Surprised he didn't mention the painted belt buckle
can he swivel his arms all the way around or does the jacket get in the way? i noticed you missed that part
How does this scale with mezco figures? I would like to make a custom TDKR Joker
Mt favorite version of the joker

I think that was a fair review of the figure, Mr. Robo. I like the comic, so I like it as a figure... if you don't like the comic, why buy it in the first place?
I still haven’t opened the blk Mafex Dark Knight , DHLs int hub is in Ohio, pretty fast , Japan to Los Angeles in 2 days 🤯 and comes mint
It looks like something out of batman animated series
@cdubbart

It most likely inspired the design of the animated series indirectly. Both Frank Miller (the writer/artist on Dark Knight Returns) & Bruce Tim (the co-creator/character designer of the animated series) were influenced by Jack Kirby who famously had a very stylistically blocky/stocky & angular style.
I feel like they should've put more blood on the eye.
It looks like michael Jackson if he put on joker paint

Good review….certainly not the Joker for me….the head swaps look really good
ok whats honestly sad, they went more for the *movie* look which made the suit way more boring... and the comic ver was kinda shiny and had indents of squares on it and was striking and cool.
bright white..............ULTIMATES!

Ok so they couldn’t add the gun... how about an extra smiling head instead? Oh and are you getting the Supes Beardy?
You'd think with all the time FedEx saves by throwing our packages down onto our porches without care that they would be as fast as DHL is these days...

Great looking figure with the shading and especially the batarang face; with good articulation for the design but the accessories feels a bit lacking. Either way I might have to pick him up.
Kinda weird that he doesn’t come with a lipstick

Warner Bros, who own DC, won't allow guns to be advertised with it's figures anymore, or in Mafex's case, completely removed from, or never announced at all with figures that should include them. It's the reason why the Hush Joker had it's revolver (with even just a bang flag out the barrel) get removed, after showing it in the promo pics with it. And probably the reason why the upcoming black Suit Superman doesn't come with his guns, holsters and bandoliers. ☹
