Punchline Gets a Premium Format Figure from Sideshow

Spurred on by an obsession with The Joker, Alexis Kaye takes on the mantle of Punchline, a charismatic and manipulative Super-Villain. Although she has no metahuman powers, Punchline is adept at wielding her weapons and utilizes Joker Venom, along with other toxins.

Inspired by the character’s comic book appearance in The Joker War story arc, the Punchline Premium Format Figure and the Exclusive Edition by Sideshow in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP),  paint a cunning clown groupie in a chaotic, colorful light. This fully sculpted DC-themed collectible measures 21.75 inches (55.2 centimeters) tall, 11.14 inches (28.2 centimeters) wide, and 8.1 inches (20.5 centimeters) deep.

It’s a mad world, and she’s the solution. The Punchline Premium Format Figure presents Alexis Kaye as she carves out a place for herself within the coterie of Gotham City baddies. Both a lover and a hater, she takes her costume and makeup cues from The Joker while torturing torn toy versions of Harley Quinn and Batman— hey, every fangirl needs a hobby.

Punchline wears a ripped purple bodysuit, black dress and corset bodice, knee-high black boots, and a small black cape. She wields her preferred weapon in her right hand while standing upon a circular pedestal resembling wooden baseboard and tarnished brass. 

This detailed, quarter scale statueincludes two portraits: one neutral and enigmatic, the other devious. Each expression is accompanied by a long, high ponytail streaked with vivid blue.

The Exclusive Edition features a third alternate portrait, which shows Alexis sneering — both proud and pouting. This Sideshow exclusive edition has a different right arm configuration with a trick weapon balanced expertly and hidden from view.

Radicalize your shelf with the Punchline Premium Format Figure. Available to pre-order now!
