Mezco’s One:12 Collective Goes Mad With a ‘Gotham By Gaslight’ Joker

Back in May, Mezco showed off the Gotham By Gaslight Batman. Of course, every good Victorian crime fighter needs an equally debonair villain. So, the One:12 Collective is adding the Joker to the mix!

The likeness is almost bang on Conrad Veidt as he appeared in 1928’s The Man Who Laughed. Veidt was, after all, a heavy inspiration for the Joker’s original appearance in the golden age of comic books. So, he should be represented here.

The One:12 Collective The Joker: Gotham by Gaslight is outfitted in a Victorian era-inspired outfit. He wears a dress shirt, necktie, suspenders, and slacks, and an optional leather-like butcher’s apron. A double-breasted overcoat, a scarf, top hat, and tinted glasses are also included to assist The Joker in concealing his identity.
The Joker features two head portraits inspired by his vintage comic book appearances – a maniacal smile and an unnerving stare. The tools of his trade are no laughing matter and all can be stored neatly in the included valise.

This dashing version of the clown prince of crime comes with the following features and accessories:

• One (1) top hat
• One (1) pair of glasses
• One (1) tool storage valise
• Nine (9) assorted tools
• One (1) One:12 Collective display bases with logo
