The bonus accessories are pretty cool and it does say for selected markets only. Which means that Toy Hunters in Hong Kong and Sideshow might carry them just like they did with the first Dx-01 The Joker 1/6 scale collectible figure which i think is very nice since these are movie props. The bomb that The Joker wanted to detonate on the boat where the people were on was like a dangerous bomb that the people were on and it could trigger the explosion any minute if they ever tried to get off because The Joker could blow them up if he wanted to do so with his evil plan. Another item you won't be able to find is the bank robbery clown mask which is worn by Grumy at the beginning of the bank robbery scene where Grumpy says what bus driver and gets hit by a bus while doing so and talking to The Joker. The mask is very detailed and it sure is not going to fit The Joker because it might be a little small for him but still looks pretty awesome.
Finally we get a real diaroma base that features part of the interrogation room when The Joker was being beaten up by Batman when he was at the Gotham City Police Department Police Station. The chair and the table is very detailed, From all sides you can see that the interrogation room is meant to resemble the one that was shown in The Dark Knight. The room is dirty and it's not clean. Nor is it safe in there because The Joker is pretty angry and he laughs when Batman beats him up. This is the one that's shown in the scene where Lt. Jim Gordon ends up meeting The Joker releasing him out of handcuffs. And then Batman starts beating up The Joker and looking for information about both Harvey Dent who is the District Attorney and also about Racheal Dawes but The Joker does not seem to give him any answers and he still beats him up anyways after that. The other cool thing that we get in this set are 2 headsculpts. The first headsculpt shows The Joker's mouth closed and he does not look too happy because he's not laughing at anything at all. And then finally the second headsculpt shows The Joker laughing in a sinester yet scary way when he's joking around with Batman. But he also comes with handcuffs when he was later captured and arrested by Lt Jim Gordon when he was trying to hurt Batman which is very cool because they look the same way like they did in the movie. All metal and pretty much they look really cool and realistic and very detailed from the movie as well.
The other stuff he comes with is a pair of The Joker Cards which he can hold in his hands which he leaves at the scene of a crime. A pencil that he used to perform the magic trick with and also killed a bad guy with it. Because if you saw that scene in the kitchen when The Joker was talking to all of the bad guys about Batman then you will know that it's from that exact same scene. He also comes with 3 knives but mainly he uses the other knife because he likes to carve smiles on people's faces so they look happy and even threatens them as well and telling stories about his scars. He also comes with about 12 interchagable hands. He comes with the pointing hands, The open palm hands, The grabbing hands and so much more which makes this fun to change and makes it amazing as well in it's own kind of way. He also comes with a stash of some US money that he stole from the Gotham City Bank when no one was looking and he robbed the place. To where the Gotham City Police Department came and they could find no money in the safe. Maybe because The Joker and his henchman have stole and robbed the place making everyone around him afraid because you see The Joker likes to get what he wants and if he does not get it then he will start hurting and even killing a lot of innocent people so he could at least unmask Batman and make him take his mask off. That's how it works and it's all part of the plan. Because if you do not listen to The Joker or do what he tells you to do and you refuse to simply follow his commands or listen to him then he will kill you without warning. Because he is a dangerous clown with no rules and no empathy at all and he's really serious when it comes to Batman not taking his mask off and show everyone who he really is. He also does come with a pistol that he used to shoot the armored truck carrying Harvey Dent inside and also comes with a machine gun that he used when he told Batman to hit him off the road. And the last item he comes with is a stand with the nameplate on it which is pretty cool.
Your local comic book shops should start carrying this version as soon as possible. If not then you might want to contact them or ask them at least if it's avaliable in your area. Because pretty soon you are gonna start seeing this pop up on shelves. But please do not ask the comic shops about the bonus accessories because they won't know if they will come with the figure but you can check. But he also does come with a bonus accessory which is a knife stuck in his shoe that he kicked Batman after he crashed his party. Collectors do not miss out because you will be sorry if you do. It will be sold out for a limited time and will be available pretty soon so you would not want to miss out on it at all!!!
