My Purist Joker

[Rocketbilly]

A little while ago I posted asking for help creating a Purist Joker minifig - while the suggestions were top notch, I decided to stick with my original plan, as the other heads weren't pale enough!

I do intend to use them for Joker henchmen though.

Here's a link to him on Flickr, as I have no idea how to deeplink from Flickr, sorry.

I know he's not fantastic, but..

Great job! I'm surprised at how well that came out, though I think the face is weak, you should get the smiling gangster's face from the Indy Shanghai Chase set, it's perfect!

Batbrick Away!

Thanks!

I did consider that face, but I thought having a pale face was more distinctive as the Joker than a crazy grin - I wanted my Joker to be a little "Grungier" than the comic depiction and the official TLC version.

The outfit, might I add, was inspired roughly by The Dark Knight.

Fair enough, I'm not huge on the "grungy" aspect of the character myself, but it works with what you've created. I recognised the similarities to The Dark Knight too. What face is that from though?

That's the original Snape face.

On the figure, I think you've done a good job, though I too agree that part of the Joker's usual iconic image is his permanent contorted grin. Also, why did you go with two different colors on the arms?

Yeah, I know what you all mean about the grin, but I had to choose: Pale skin but scowling face, or trademark grin but with Fleshie skin. In the end I thought I'd rely on the other trademark - green hair- to carry across the "I'm the Joker" message. I suppose it's the curse of Purist customs.

The reason for the arms is this: the purple torso is meant to represent a wasitcoat - and the grey arms represent the sleeves of the shirt he's wearing underneath. Then we have white hands to represent skin, as TLC dont do a glow in the dark hand to match the head.

I know it's not perfect, but I did the best with limited pieces

Thanks for all the comments and constructive criticism!
