Welcome to the first in hopefully a very long line of Minifigure feature articles where I hope to shine an informative spotlight on certain Minifigures that hold a special place in my collection!
I’m Mark, from Brick Beat, I share my adventures in the World of LEGO via Instagram, building new sets, live streaming, and posting my favourite Minifigure every Monday using #MinifigureMonday. Please feel free to follow me and join me on this exciting journey.
Where it all began:
Up first we have a Minifigure which means a lot to me, The Joker (sh133)!
The Joker (which I call The Ledger Joker) is an exclusive Minifigure from LEGO Batman Tumbler (76023), which was released in 2014.
The Dark Knight trilogy is my favourite Batman franchise of movies so when a friend told me about the LEGO Tumbler I just HAD to get it, but what I wasn’t aware of was how LEGO retires sets, this was all new to me, and as it was 2017 this set wasn’t an easy set to find.
Looking at local selling groups, my wife managed to find me the set local to me and in budget to near original retail price. The excitement was unreal and this is truly where my LEGO collection began!
So, you could say this was my FIRST ever Minifigure (along with Batman of course) and will always be close to my heart!
My thoughts:
This Minifigure is awesome!
The printing on the Legs and Torso are superb and I love how the Jacket print continues onto the legs.
The head has 2 sides, either a smiling face or a more serious look.
Why so Serious?!
I like how the printing is done on the head to make it look like white face paint on a skin coloured head. The rest of the printed make up and the classic green Joker hair really helps make this Minifigure stand out.
