McFarlane Toys has unveiled a brand-new DC Direct Christmas Joker figurine inspired by the classic Batman: The Animated Series. Thefigure is now available for pre-order.

McFarlane revealed on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the Christmas Joker figure is available exclusively for Target’s Geek Out Fall event, as will be three other Batman: The Animated Series figures – Batman, Batgirl, and Two-Face. Fans who collect all four figures can assemble and build Maxi Zeus. McFarlane’s Geek Out BTAS-inspired collection includes a new Batman Cowl and a 37″ long Batwing replica. The impressive Batwing features retractable landing gear, battery-powered interior lights and exhaust, and a slide-open cockpit canopy that fits two 6″ action figures.

The Christmas Joker figure is based on the Clown Prince of Crime’s landmark appearance in the second BTAS episode, “Christmas with the Joker.” Joker escapes from Arkham Asylum and announces, via television broadcast, his assault on Gotham City as a Christmas special. He has Kidnapped Commissioner Gordon, Summer Gleeson, and Harvey Bullock, who the Joker threatens to kill if Batman can’t track them down by midnight. The iconic episode marked the character’s debut in the DC Animated Universe. Voiced by Mark Hamill, the show’s iteration of the Joker is regarded by many as the greatest ever.

A few months ago, McFarlane Toys teased the arrival of a Target-exclusive Joker Mobile replica from BTAS. The Joker Mobile first appeared outside the comics on the DCAU show in the episode “Joker’s Wild,” displayed in the titular Joker-themed casino. The infamous vehicle subsequently appeared in BTAS‘ follow-up show, The New Batman Adventures, in the episodes “Joker’s Millions” and “Beware the Creeper.”

The Toy Giant also has DC Multiverse figures of the Joker and his sidekick/love interest, Punchline. The 7″ scale figures, which spot their most recognizable comic book designs, include two knives for each character, a Joker ball hand for Punchline, two bases, and two collectible art cards. Created by James Tynion IV and Jorge Jiménez, Punchline first appears in the third volume of 2020’s Batman #89 during the Joker War story arc.

Punchline alias Alexis Kaye developed an unhealthy obsession with the Joker as a college student after encountering him during an ill-fated school trip. Kaye pleads not guilty to a recent crime, which could incur capital punishment, and upon her release from court, hatches a plan to become The Joker’s new sidekick and girlfriend.
