After their announcement on Batman Day 2021, the new McFarlane DC Multiverse figures from Batman: Three Jokers have gone up for pre-order at Walmart in the US. The set features new figures of Batman, Bat Girl, and Red Hood. There are then three new Joker figures - the Criminal and The Clown being general releases - with the final figure, The Comedian, missing from the Walmart listing so likely a retailer exclusive elsewhere?
With these listings comes the official images and synopsis for the figures, although there is no specified release date. Batman comes with a grappling gun, while Batgirl has a gun that fires batarangs. Red Hood and the Clown Joker feature crowbars, while The Criminal has his cane. All figures feature the usual display base and art card.
As a child, Bruce Wayne watched as his parents were brutally killed in Gotham City’s Crime Alley. Traumatized by their deaths, he devoted his life to becoming the world’s greatest weapon against crime—the Batman! To become the ultimate vigilante, the Dark Knight disciplined his mind and body to reach the pinnacle of mental and physical superiority in his relentless pursuit of justice! In perpetual battle with The Joker, Batman has discovered there are, in fact, three individuals operating as The Clown Prince of Crime—each resembling a different version of the villain from Batman’s past adventures. Now, with all three versions of The Joker banding together in a nefarious plot, it’s up to the Dark Knight, Batgirl, and Red Hood to take down the terrifying trio!
By day, Barbara Gordon is the bookish daughter of the Gotham City Police Commissioner, Jim Gordon. By night, Barbara dons a cape and cowl as Batgirl, committed to justice like her father. While her Utility Belt is equipped with Batarangs and other crime-fighting gadgets, her greatest tools are her brilliant mind and her unwavering determination. Batgirl is an expert martial artist and gymnast, trained in part by Batman, who’s extremely athletic and agile. Her eidetic memory, heightened intelligence, and advanced knowledge of computers makes her a natural leader and skilled crime fighter.
Red Hood is a name and identity that has been used by various heroes and villains over the years. The current and best-known Red Hood is Jason Todd, a fierce hand-to-hand combatant and vigilante crime-fighter who was once Batman’s second heroic apprentice called Robin. He has a complicated relationship with both his former mentor, Batman, and the original Robin, Dick Grayson.
Once a small-time crook, The Joker fell into a vat of chemicals that turned his skin white, his hair green, and his lips red—like a crazed clown.

In a stunning turn of events, Batman has learned that there are, in fact, three versions of The Joker operating in Gotham City. Known as “The Clown” among the group, this Joker revels the most in chaotic mayhem, using a wide variety of deadly joke-themed devices in his dastardly crimes.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
