Description

Batman Dark Knight: Joker 1:2 Scale Bust & Grappling Launcher Replica (DC Direct, 2008-09). Celebrate the shadow and the chaos of Gotham with this striking Batman lot showcasing two highly detailed collectibles released by DC Direct: The Dark Knight Joker 1:2 Scale Bust in 2008 and the Grappling Launcher Prop Replica in 2009. The limited edition Joker Bust, numbered 0591/2500, captures Heath Ledger's chilling performance with a hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain mixed-media sculpture measuring approximately 14.75 inches tall, 11 inches wide, and 8 inches deep. Sculpted by Kolby Jukes, the piece delivers haunting realism, from the smeared makeup to the sinister expression. Accompanying it is the Grappling Launcher Prop Replica, numbered 0333/1500, a hand-painted cold-cast porcelain piece replicating Batman's iconic gadget, permanently mounted on a detailed base and measuring 6 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 7 inches deep. Both collectibles remain securely stored in their original Styrofoam casing, with the Joker Bust still sealed and untouched. The boxes show handling wear along the edges and corners, including bends, creasing, dents, scratching, and scuffing. The bottom panels display additional wear, with the Joker box featuring a tear and a small hole. These finely crafted pieces offer a dramatic tribute to the gritty brilliance of Christopher Nolan's vision.
