It only takes one bad day to convince the sanest of men to order a statue depicting a stark raving lunatic... or something like that. Either way, Kotobukiya's ArtFX The Killing Joke Joker statue is currently available for pre-order if you're sane (or mad) enough to want it.

Recently seen at NYCC (and before that at SDCC), TKJ Joker is based on the cover art from The Killing Joke, which is arguably one of the greatest graphic novels of all time and quite possibly the finest Joker story. And while I may have marveled (or DC Comic'd?) at the prototype of the statue, the painted version seen at NYCC was even more impressive. This 11-inch statue features the Joker snapping photos with a midget in bondage gear between his legs. Does it get any creepier than that, folks? The statue even includes a LED lamp/spotlight which I can only assume makes the statue look cool as hell in a dark room. And creepy, definitely creepy.

Bat-fans out there can pre-order this statue for US$130. Those that do are encouraged to remember, in the words of R.D. Laing, that insanity is a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.
