Summary
Gotham by Gaslight Joker stands out as a unique interpretation of the character, blending Victorian aesthetics with horror elements reminiscent of "The Man Who Laughs." Notable for its gruesome accessories and attire, including a butcher's apron and an array of bloody tools, this figure captures a chilling vibe that aligns with a Jack the Ripper theme. Its inclusion of interchangeable head sculpts and a rich wardrobe, complete with a top hat and glasses, further enhances its distinctiveness within the One:12 Collective lineup.

Reviews
Pros
- Unique Victorian era-inspired outfit, featuring a butcher’s apron, double-breasted coat, and realistic fabric detailing.
- Two distinct head portraits: a maniacal smile and a chilling stare, both well-painted with intricate detailing.
- Includes a variety of accessories, including nine assorted tools, enhancing the playability and display options.
- Accessories can be neatly stored in a detailed valise, adding to the figure’s overall presentation and organization.
- Excellent paint applications that reflect the vintage comic book aesthetic and the character’s gruesome nature.
- Improved articulation with a more flexible torso and better range in the elbows compared to previous Joker figures.
Cons
- Limited character background, as this version of the Joker has minimal appearances in comics, which may affect its appeal.
- Foam insert for the briefcase may not look as realistic as traditional storage options, detracting from the overall presentation.
- Articulation in the head is somewhat restricted due to the sculpt and hair design, limiting posing options.
- Some hands have fingers connected, requiring modification for proper tool holding, which may frustrate collectors looking for ease of use.
