Quick Fire The Joker
Batman: Mattel, 2003. SKU# B4981
Quick Fire Joker is Batman?s longtime nemesis. Quick Fire Joker was originally released in the Direct Market (comic book stores) along with Zipline Batman and Battle Board Robin prior to making their debut a couple of months later in the regular mass market line.
Quick Fire Joker is sculpted by The Four Horsemen the same as Batman. Quick Fire Joker was originally released in his traditional Purple Suit. He has green hair and eyes a long face and one of the more wicked smiles any Joker figure has ever had. Pictures of a repaint called ?Acid Blast? have been seen online, but so far that version has not hit retail or secondary markets.
SPECS:
The figure stands just under 6 inches tall and has 12 points of articulation (head, shoulders, wrists, waist, hips, and knees). The figure comes with a Joker Cane and a Quick Fire Gun, which fires either a ?Bang? Flag or Joker Card projectiles.
PROS:
A dead on classic Comic Book look by The Four Horsemen. Ball Joints in the shoulders are a welcome addition over the previous Joker figures and add new range of motion and poseability over previous figures.
CONS:
My only gripes are that it could have had articulation at the elbows and that it could have not been posed leaning to the right and been more standing upright. Still the figure is very poseable and will stand without any problems.
OVERALL:
This is one of the best Joker figures ever released. Great playability and a really good value. In addition to being released as a single in the first wave of figures, the figure is available as a part Batman & The Joker Two Pack (C7035) with a Battle Armor Batman figure.
This figure is a must have for any Batman or action figure collector.
