The wait was darn long, but well worth it. Moebius has finally released Jeff Yagher's plastic-model-kit tribute to Cesar Romero's bellyful-of-diabolical-laughs Joker!!!
Thanks to Yagher's remarkable sculpting skills, this 1/8 representation of Romero's Clown Prince of Crime hits the mark on all colorful counts. The face--that jolly, maniacal expression--is right on target: certain to inspire one to prance about and mimic the actor's contagious laugh.
The model acts as an essential addition to the Moebius Batman '66 line; and to liven the demented glee, one can assemble the Joker with either hands clasped or extended. Either way, one ends up with a pose that's unmistakably Romero.
The kit runs about $40 at most retailers, and like the previous Moebius submissions, comes with a "rocky" base and an Aurora styled box with popping graphics ideally suited to Romero's classic characterization.
(Incidentally, I pre-ordered my kit through CultTVman: a superb source for all sorts of assembly kits. Alas, my old stomping ground, Z&Z Hobbies is no more, but I'm grateful for all the fine Batman kits that I obtained there over the years. Ah, such dear Bat-memories...)
MICHAEL F. HOUSEL has authored several novels for Airship 27 Productions, including THE HYDE SEED, MARK JUSTICE'S THE DEAD SHERIFF: PURITY & THE PERSONA TRILOGY, with his short stories appearing in THE PURPLE SCAR, THE PHANTOM DETECTIVE & RAVENWOOD, STEPSON OF MYSTERY. He is also a faithful contributor to Eighth Tower Publications' DARK FICTION series, various popular-culture periodicals and a frequent associate producer for MR. LOBO'S CINEMA INSOMNIA.
