Batman 89 Joker props: What is out there?

I've watched Batman several times the last few months, and was looking at all the various Joker related props and gadgets. Thought I would make a list and see what is out there for people interested. Some of this things on this list I got help from the internet movie firearms database, so I don't know if it is all correct.

First I'll start with a couple clothing items. Does anyone make accurate replicas of his purple fedora, the beret he wore in the museum scene, his purple trenchcoat (from the parade), or the black trenchcoat (from the Axis Chemicals break in)?

For his weapons, his revolver as Jack and he uses to kill Grissom is a Colt New Service, and I think this is also the gun Bob gives to him and he then shoots Bob with. The gun he uses to "kill" Bruce is a Smith & Wesson Model 1. He shoots the tv using a Krieghoff Model L flare pistol. The gun he uses to take down the Batwing is a Smith & Wesson Model 15-3 with a custom 21 inch barrel. I'm assuming the "bang flag" revolver is also a Colt New Service modified for the film. I've looked around for airsoft versions or replicas of these with no luck. Anyone have any leads? I am particularly interested in getting the Colt New Service and the Smith & Wesson Model 1.

As far as his gadgets/misc stuff, I noticed a lot of cool stuff. He has his hand buzzer, the quill he uses to kill the mob boss, the glasses at the top of the cathedral Batman hits him after putting on, the chattering teeth, Smilex products, the green and orange radio he uses to activate the Smilex in the balloons and call his helicopter at the cathedral base, his zippo in the museum (which looks to be a regular gold or silver zippon), the orange and green gas mask, his cane at the museum, even a strange looking rubix cube in the room with him when Bob gives him the photos he took of Vale/Knox, and of course his lucky deck.

The lucky deck is easy enough. It's just a regular deck of red bicycle cards with the custom joker cards inserted in. Does anyone know of a place that makes the accurate joker card for this, complete with the bullet hole and printed on card stock?
 
I would love to have a replica of the gun the Joker uses at the end. How he folds the barrel up then puts it away. That is comedy gold. I would LOVE to have that gun!
 
There were both a purple and black hat produced by Morris Costumes that was actually quite accurate, but without lining. I sold my purple one a couple of years ago due to financial troubles... still have the black one. I also got a very good replica of the cap from the museum scene on ebay that I also sold.

Accurate clothing I have not seen. The closest was the Morris Costume... but it is not accurate in material and the coat had a single button with no lining.

The flower was also available from Morris... but not the most impressive thing you've ever seen.

The chattering teeth appeared to just be wind up chattering teeth to me, that you could probably find in any joke shop.

I've seen reproductions of the Smilex props... I thought it was here.

Here's the short thread... but there isn't much information there any more as all the links go nowhere. http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=10327&highlight=smilex
 
I am currently working on a lifesize mannequin of the Nicholson Joker. I made the flower and am working on his buzzer ring. The seamstress just finished up the pants using wool that I had custom woven. She is working on the jacket (with tails) and vest now. All that's left to get is the shoes and gloves and I'll be all set!

that lifesize joker is coming along nicely. Love Jack's joker still the best, his one liners in that movie were priceless.

Your Joker lifesize display is really coming along.
Nice job on resculpting the neck so it could be put on the mannequuin.

I also have Howard S Joker bust & had modified a Morris fedora hat to make it fit the head.

Chris,

It is a hollow cast resin bust from Howard Sneft. I cut out the eyes and added silicone eyes from masterpiece eyes. I also cut out the mouth area and added a tongue behind the teeth. Howard did an amazing job on the sculpt.

I used a screen-cap of the joker card jack has in one of the scenes and did a bit of cleanup work on it in photoshop.
 
This is a great thread! I've been working on a full size Joker mannequin as well. I'm using the Morris costume, with a resin bust from Reevz. Still need to paint and mod it to fit the mannequin. I'm planning to add nice eyes rather than paint, and I really like the idea of trimming out the mouth area and adding the tongue.

Here's a quick pic from my cell phone:

I cut some MAJOR corners and unfortunately, he suffered in the SA dept. Keep in mind he is a work in progress.

I would really like a replica of the gun as well. I always got a kick out of that when he pulled the gun out like a clown gag and it had the long barrel on it.
 
I've always wanted a working replica of the gun. So far the only options I've seen are the cheap clown guns with the fold out flag or taking a realistic gun and inserting a "Bang" flag in it... obviously non-functional.
 
im kind of amazed havent seen more replicas of the jokers gas mask, even in the little display box whe he gives it to Vicki, seems like a cool easy little prop.
