McFarlane Toys: The Suicide Squad Multiverse Harley Quinn Action Figure

Harley Quinn, re-incarcerated for making a cash withdrawal with her car, buys her freedom once more by joining the Squad. This colourful, cheeky, cheerful psychotic still has all her deadly dynamic moves, and the single-and-ready-to-mingle rogue is as eager as ever to show them off…much to Amanda Waller’s dismay. But Harley, in her signature, ladylike style, isn’t afraid to manhandle anyone who comes her way.

This 7-inch scale figure is designed with McFarlane's signature Ultra Articulation with up to 22 moving parts for full range and posing. Each DC Multiverse figure includes a collectible art card with artwork on the front and character biographies on the back.

This is actually a neat little action figure - usually I get a little annoyed at the unavoidable clunkiness off certain parts like the thighs and knees or gorilla arms but this one doesn't look that bad. It's reasonably priced too! If you're wondering about the dismembered King Shark booty, there's a different part in each The Suicide Squad pack kids, correct them all then build your own Nanaue!

Iron Studios / Mini Co Collectibles: Harley Quinn 

She is back, in her original colours but with a new red and black leather uniform, with elements that resemble her first costume. Her pants have the symbol of the suit of diamonds printed on them, and the

leather jacket has the slogan "Live Fast Die Clown", a subtle provocation to her ex-boyfriend Joker. Gotham's maid of mischief returns to the big screen in The Suicide Squad movie and gets her stylized Toy Art version in this figure. With a pair of tactical glasses on her head and holding a Retractable Spear, she is standing on a base that evokes an urban combat scenario, posing with her hand on her waist in a charming and friendly way.

6.30 inches (16cm)
Made of PVC
Based on The Suicide Squad
Stylized design
Hand painted

This one gives me Bratz vibes. Which isn't a bad thing... it just kinda makes her look like a sassy bobblehead. The description for this is hilarious! "She's in her original colours, which I'll spell out for you is black and red. Her outfit LOOKS like her original one but don't be fooled, it is not!"

This one seems overpriced for what it is, but it does seem like they did a good job with the detailing. I probably wouldn't buy this but I don't hate it. 

Harley Quinn: Black White Red #1 - Red

2020
Story/Art: Sejic
Lettering: Gabriela Downie

“Harleen: Red” Resolutely defiant in the face of all of Arkham’s attempts to psychoanalyse her, Harley Quinn is suddenly compelled to reveal some of her most vulnerable thoughts - and hints of her future -- when confronted with the simplest of prompts: “What does the colour red mean to you?” Another stunningly beautiful story from the world of Stjepan Šejić’s bestselling HARLEEN!

Not gonna lie - hairline trigger activated when I saw the title! I was like.. are they making a comic series about the gosh darned collectables of Harley Quinn, which are in turn based OFF of comics and such already established? And whose name is based on the fact that she should be black, white and red but normally isn't anymore? Sorry, the mind games involved in that is just... psychotic. 

Turns out it's an extension of the Harleen story that Sejic did, and I'm guessing it's just going to be three issues? Well, it should be or else they should probably rename the series Harley's reading rainbow or something. 

Harley Quinn: Premium Format Figure - Sideshow Collectibles

Sideshow Collectibles has been hard at work making some nice things that I can't afford right now, (and also spelling collectables in a way that offends both my British sensibilities and my spellchecker, but that's another matter entirely) so I thought I'd spend a little time talking about one of their new statues.

One thing I really appreciate with Sideshow is that they seem to understand the appeal of the classic Harley Quinn along with her various reiterations. They're also good at interpreting Classic Harley Quinn for people who want something 'new' without going as far as say, the Suicide Squad movie version of her outfit which is basically two-toned apples and oranges and a far cry from what she started out in.

That and their items are really high quality - hence the 'premium format figure' name being trademarked by Sideshow. They go above and beyond to make sure what they sell is great and packed with fun props/features and detailed bases. So, let's get into it.

Starting with the interchangeable faces - here we have two options. One has a skinny domino mask which showcases her eye make-up, which is sort of thickly winged out and has more traditional clown 'tears' make-up. Her eyes are ringed by light red colouring - which I think is meant to be a nod to her current style - one eye blue one eye pink/red - as opposed to the usual clown face paint.

This head has white greasepaint with a very very underhanded and pleasing blush effect. Her lips are a dark red with a bit of a black tinge - which combined with her displeased expression makes Harley look like a much more dramatic character. I like her loose pigtails - the colour is nice, I'd almost forgotten what she looked like without the dip dye! - and the highlights weaved through the natural looking strands looks realistic.

On the other hand - the other Harley head has a much wider domino mask - almost as wide as her cheerful yet vaguely garish grin. Her lipstick is just dark red, and looks a lot like Joker's smile, with the edges of her lips exaggerated and almost brought out into a Chelsea Smile. Her face has the same greasepaint and blush tones as the other head, but is encased in her classic jester hat. Her eyes have more of a smoky look to them - light greys gradually getting darker. Her eyeliner is still winged out and heavy towards the end.
