Heath Ledger lives on – as an evil figurine.

YourMovieStuff.com is reporting that Warner Bros. is slowly bringing back its marketing campaign for The Dark Knight.  Mattel has revealed images of its Ledger-inspired Joker dolls.  The first of which will retail at $7.99 and features a rocket launcher that can be placed in the Joker’s hand. The second doll (pictured) is a slightly larger, more detailed version created by action-figure designers the Four Horsemen. It will retail at $10.99.

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.
