Although the doll is being unveiled less than a week after Ledger’s funeral, his family stands behind the company’s decision to go ahead with marketing the collectible.
“Heath was very proud of his work in the film, and his family is aware and supportive of Warner Bros. and its partner’s plans for the movie,” said a family spokesperson.
Mattel will be selling two versions of the Joker doll, both of which hit store shelves in May.
It will probably be more popular than originally thought because people will buy it because Heath is dead.
