I found substantial room for improvement over Mego's original 8 Inch action figure version of THE JOKER...
First off, I gave his face a bit of a make-over with a slightly more detailed paint scheme. I eliminated the silk-screened leotard that Mego provided and fashioned all-new SEPARATE garments (custom silk green shirt, flaming orange flannel vest, baggy "pleated" purple pants with fat black pinstripes and tall waistband. As for his zany purple blazer, I only added a wild orange satin lining to the tails to spruce them up. At this point, I added the decorative details to the figure like buttons, floppy black tie, bright red lapel flower, a pair of purple dress sox and, a pair of white spats draped over his standard brown Mego shoes. He also wears a dandy pair of CLOTH white dress gloves, which unfortunately did not photograph as well as I’d hoped…
I created a custom Mego-styled window box on computer for THE JOKER to sleep in and called him finished!
