Following the release of the highly anticipated 'Suicide Squad' film, Japan's Medicom Toy designed a Joker figurine that portrays the Jared Leto-acted character, which is said to become available in the summer of 2017.
In order to bring consumers more variety, the esteemed collectible-maker is set to offer a Joker figurine that's dressed in a dapper suit. The eerie toy is shown with a shockingly realistic face, with Medicom Toy getting the character's menacing eyes and malicious smile just right.
On the hand of the Joker figurine is a tattoo of a mouth as well, which can be moved up to cover its face for a new creepy look. In addition to this, Medicom Toy includes two guns and a purple cane for the character to hold.
