Character:
This Mad Hatter action figure was released in 2006 by DC Direct as part of the Batman: The Long Halloween Series 1. The figure is based on the famous comic by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale and brings this striking interpretation of Jervis Tetch directly to a three-dimensional collectible.
Jervis Tetch, better known as the Mad Hatter, is one of Batman's most eccentric adversaries. His obsession with Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland serves as the inspiration for his identity, clothing, and crimes. In Gotham City, he uses his intelligence and manipulative skills to make his own twisted fantasy world a reality.
In Batman: The Long Halloween, the Mad Hatter is part of the ever-growing group of colorful supervillains slowly displacing Gotham's traditional organized crime. His distinct appearance fits perfectly with Tim Sale's highly stylized art style.
DC Direct based this version directly on Sale's artwork. At approximately 5 inches, the Mad Hatter is deliberately smaller than most other figures in the series, maintaining the scale differences between the characters.
The figure comes with a pistol, a cracked teacup, and a calendar page. It also includes a special sidewalk display base. The Mad Hatter's base forms a corner piece within the series' modular display system and features a manhole cover.
The Mad Hatter appeared alongside Batman, Catwoman, The Joker, and Two-Face in the original The Long Halloween Series 1 and is now one of the more interesting figures from this classic DC Direct wave.
