Joker Doll to go on sale

Heath Ledger lives on - as an evil figurine.

Heath Ledger, in his last interview, said that movie role was the most fun he'd ever had. We will all be buying his Joker doll likeness if it is good quality. I don't think his deeply devoted parents would support something their son would find offensive. This incredibly talented young man will probably finally earn that Oscar he has so deserved for his other movie roles. He was one of a kind. Most of us will be blubbering throughout the movie.

Very weird, that was the part that sent him over the edge and now his family want a toy made of him playing that horrible character. Downright weird.

But Priceless..

Late actor Heath Ledger is set to be immortalized in the form of a toy doll--with his grieving family's blessing.

Ledger had recently finished playing the Joker in the forthcoming Batman film The Dark Knight when he was found dead in his New York apartment last month.

However, only a week after the Aussie star's funeral, a range of Joker dolls have been revealed by toy giants Mattel. The action figures are set to be marketed alongside the new movie--tipped to be this summer's major blockbuster.

Two versions of the Ledger Joker doll will hit stores in May--one comes with a rocket launcher and the second is armed with a knife.

A spokesman for the star's family says, "Heath was very proud of his work in the film and his family is aware and supportive of the plans for the movie."
