I was wondering if this is true?, somebody told me at toys r us, it was recalled for unknown reasons. Also on ebay some people put recalled in the description. I was wondering if anybody knew about this. Thx

The first wave was recalled for some reason.
Rumor had it that parents thought he was "demonic looking" and "to scary for kids"
Not sure if there is any truth to that.
They did re-release him in series 2 and he's lined up for series 3 also.

No the Joker figure was not recalled for being to scarey or because he died or any other rumor about Ledger out there. Mattel asked that ALL of Series 1 be pulled (not just Joker) as they felt the series didin't meet with their standards. It was NOT a saftey recall or it would have been on either Mattel's or the US governments recall page. It was stated on a few of the toy boards it had something to do with the package design and only TRU actually stopped selling them...Wal-Mart, K-Mart and even some grocery stores didn't pull them and are still selling series one today.

When I got my Movie Masters Series 1 there was a strong plastic/paint smell that came from the package and figure after I opened it.
That is why Wave 2 is the EXACT same figure except the packaging has AIR HOLES in it. That is all that's different...the packaging has AIR HOLES so that the paint/plastic smell is not so strong when people open it...they were complaining about the smell.
