Randomness and chaos to Batman’s meticulousness and order, the Joker has done practically every terrible and absurd thing you can think to drive Batman over the thin blue line of justice and into retribution and murder.
In the action figure market, he has had a lot of fascinating interpretations to reflect the changing oddness of his persona during his 75 years of existence. Here are some of the most fascinating representations of the Clown Prince of Crime.
15. Joker (Death Of The Family) Funko Pop!
Any self-respecting Joker fan will be acquainted with "Death of the Family". After the Joker virtually ripped off his own face and fled for a bit, he came back, but things were different now. Joker had apparently lost all the comedy and was simply out for maniacal retribution on the Dark Knight.
The visual hint that DC utilized to express this was that Joker had clumsily tied his face back on. This Funko Pop! figurine recreates that incarnation of the Joker in all his twisted and filthy splendor. He's even wearing the counterfeit handyman outfit, but it's the grin that really sells the entire thing.

14. Killing Joke Figure
When it comes to tales featuring the Joker, there are few more legendary than "The Killing Joke". This narrative recounts a probable origin of the Joker and how he got so mad. It features a famous panel where he starts to go wild, raking his hands through his hair while laughing in the background.
While this little statue isn't particularly huge, it does capture the mood of that strip. Not only is there laughing surrounding the image, but there are also wind-up fangs at his feet. Designed by Quantum Mechanix, this is an inexpensive but effective statue that each Joker fan should have.

13. Batman’s Arch Enemy Joker by Mego
Heavily inspired by the Filmation Batman animation of the ’70s, which itself was influenced by the campy ’60s live action program, this Joker is more a stylish jester than psychotic here. This one-piece outfit with a detachable coat contains the waistcoat and string tie suit that was the character’s official “uniform” in the comics of the period. Joker is one of the few villains that Mego faced in their run and made care to sell it particularly with their hero character.

12. Kenner Super Powers Joker by Kenner in 1984
Dressed in the same purple tuxedo with striped slacks, yellow waistcoat and string tie that is popular in the comics and wearing the same broad and open smile, this figure comes with a beautiful green mallet. It features an aperture on one side and a stylized “J” on the other.
The handle side resembles the Joker’s face and the handle represents his nose. This had to be at least an inspiration if not the direct counterpart to the enormous mallet that Harley Quinn employs.
In one of the weirdest embellishments to the character in the comics of that period, the Joker’s suit jacket has tails. This figurine also comes with tails, however for some strange reason, the tails are a detachable separate component. The only evident explanation for this is that the removal of the tails enables the figure to sit down.

11. Joker 1989 Mime Version Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys
This sculptural figure portrays a particular scene in the 1989 Batman film. The Joker/Jack Napier, as played by the renowned Jack Nicholson, plays as a mime outside a courtroom and murders a gangster with a pointed feather. Dressed in a top hat, tails and spats, the black and white inspired attire harkens back to a silent cinema version of the iconic clown. His normally rictus smile is now covered in white save for heart shaped crimson lips in the middle. A large flower and white gloves complete the look.

10. Batman: The Animated Series Joker by DC Collectibles
The streamlined figure mirrored the Imagery Deco simplified art of the iconic Batman: The Animated Series. The original purple striped tuxedo is now a plain purple suit with a ribbon tie. It still features the white gloves, white spats and acid-spewing flowers. What defines this figure, and in many ways the character, is the stunning face. With the half-eyed look and menacing smile, there is nothing humorous about this rendition of the Joker. Even while the character never murdered in the animated series, plainly, you can tell that this Joker is not only capable of senselessly murdering someone, but would also enjoy it.

9. The Joker (The Dark Knight) by MediCom Toys
This Joker was performed by the amazing Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. The well-sculpted face exhibits the characteristic scars of these renditions of the character and the hurriedly applied grease-paint, eye and lip makeup. The bespoke suit and trench coat are film accurate and fitted properly to the physique. Once again, the face is what makes the figure. He never stares at you, instead peering out of the tops of his eyes and his head tilts in the direction of his filthy green hair, giving him a look of equal parts danger and curiosity at either you or the hand of cards that are provided with the figure.

8. The Batman Who Laughs Funko Pop!
What if Batman became the Joker? In another universe, Joker was eliminated, but he did his harm to the Dark Knight. Slowly but gradually, Batman lost his head, becoming into the one thing he loathed. He annihilated the whole Bat-Family and launched his invasion of his own planet.
Imagine a Joker but with the training of Batman, and you get the Batman Who Laughs. The Funko Pop! of this figure has all the details exactly correct. It has a black straightjacket with a spiky visor. The figure focuses attention immediately to the grin, which plainly reveals the craziness inside.

7. Diamond Select Toys Batman Who Laughs Figure
By this point, you already know about the Batman Who Laughs. A throwback to early appearances of the Joker when he was referred to as "The Man Who Laughs", this is undoubtedly the greatest foe Batman has ever fought. He may be a new foe, but he's left an impression unlike any other the Dark Knight has fought.
If you want to display your enthusiasm for the character in a more authentic manner, Diamond Select Toys offers a stunning statue. This statue is almost flawless, capturing all the nuances from the figure in the comics. He is in an energetic position and is clutching his distinctive calling card for good measure.

6. Dc Collectibles The Joker Statue
While there have been many distinct variations of the Joker with various purposes in mind, most people remember the crazy, larger-than-life but brutally vicious character featured in the comics. This is the Joker that began it all and remains the inspiration for all later variations. For lovers of the Joker, this statue from DC Collectibles is a terrific addition to any collection.
It includes a more dynamic position of the Clown Prince of Crime, complete with him in a smiling grin and his flashy costume. The statue is mounted on a purple brick pedestal and even has the flower over his lapel.

5. The Dark Knight Joker Figure
Most DC fans would tell you that the finest representation of the character comes from Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. With Ledger entirely slipping into the character, it was a cinematic adversary unlike any other. Featuring a more visually accurate portrayal of the figure, the design also became one of the most recognizable elements of the character.
With Ledger's Joker being such a blockbuster, a nice addition to any Joker fan's collection would be this statue of the figure. Using 3D-printed sculpts for greater precision as well as tons of accessories, this figure is about as realistic as it gets.

4. Bandai Tamashii The Joker Figure (Injustice)
Bandai Tamashii is recognized for its many figurines that adapt popular characters and fresh and creative ways. For this Joker statue, their major source of inspiration was Injustice: Gods Among Us. Joker was a playable character in the game, employing a number of various weapons and techniques to harm his opponents. While this figure does take some creative liberties, it still maintains a remarkable likeness to the fighter from the game.
It comes with tons of changeable components as well as his crowbar, rifle, dagger, and wind-up fangs that he uses to battle in the game. Too bad that material didn't rescue him from Superman.

3. The Batman Hammer Strike Joker by Mattel
This Joker is a big divergence from every other iteration on the list. This Joker is a frantic, unpredictable and acrobatic figure. He is wearing a straight jacket over a purple shirt with swirling motifs and shredded sleeves. He is also wearing fingerless gloves, black slacks and no shoes. His yellow-toothed smile is ridiculously broad and his hair is pulled crazily back on his head. This figurine comes with a spiked hammer that fires a spear from the middle. There is nothing subtle about this portrayal of the character.

2. Dc Collectibles Joker Statue
This is another figure that was created by an artist with a vision. However, the concept with this monument was to reproduce something notable in Joker's past rather than develop an all-new design. This statue is based on the cover for The Killing Joke, where Joker is clutching a camera in allusion to his darkest deed in the whole novel.

1. DX Series The Joker (Heath Ledger) 2.0 By Hot Toys
This is Hot Toys’ second effort at Heath Ledger’s Joker from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. Two head sculpts represent the various emotions of Ledger’s mysterious Clown Prince. This set also contains the table, lamp and chair from that memorable scene, in addition to different pistols, knives, playing cards, handcuffs, hands, and oh… that pencil. Just like that famous trick, this figurine is pure magic.

Conclusion
If evil has a face, it wears a clown suit. The Joker is the vilest clown ever created. Introduced in Batman #1 in 1940, the Joker has been Batman's most persistent adversary and has had the most impact on his world. He has murdered one partner (who returned), crippled another (who recovered), and caused chaos at every step. This makes him an intriguing character to watch and a well-known figure in many areas of popular culture. I hope you will find some amazing collectable Joker toys on this list that you will add to your collection.
