Harley Quinn: Fantasy Figures (Luis Royo)

In keeping with her multiple variations and extended wardrobes... when Yamato decided to release a Fantasy Figure of our dear Harley Quinn they couldn't do just one.

Oh my no.

No - capitalising on her money making potential there are several versions of this figure.

What I do like about this series is that they made the effort to make each of them unique, unlike, say the Christmas painted Bombshells statues where if you have one, you kind of don't need to shell out for the variant. Sure, some of them aren't majorly different but there is enough change that you could shell out for the whole set and you wouldn't look like an idiot.

The statue stats:

Sculpted by Shin Tanabe and imagined by renowned artist Luis Royo



This one is the original - she's on a giant beach ball in her Suicide Squad Volume 4 threads but sporting dip dyed hair like her Rocksteady Arkhamverse counterpart. Unlike Suicide Squad, this Harley Quinn is physically more like classic Harley Quinn in the way that she's still got a normal skin tone and just paints her face.

There's a nice amount of detail on this figure, probably more than anyone who worked on the Suicide Squad comics ever invested. There are defined shoulder blades, knee caps look realistic, her hands and fingers are good and the figure actually looks like she's putting weight on the leg she's sitting on.

Given the rest of the statues from the Fantasy Figures I'm extremely glad they didn't make Harley look ridiculously over sexualised or give her ginormous boobs and have her bend over a lot.


Her hair isn't exactly blonde here, more.. like that weird grey hair trend that seems so popular lately. The one detail that really.... really irks me about this statue is the damn shoes.

This one is another Arkhamverse inspired figure, this time it's one from Arkham City. Harley still has the beach ball thing going on and the squad hotpants... but has the corset and boots from the game.

Also, her hair is a lot blonder, her arm/leg colours have changed sides and this time she's holding her hammer thing over her shoulder.

There's also a black and white version. These two were Entertainment Earth exclusives that I was not quick, or rich enough to get my little paws on.












Next up is more Arkhamverse... Arkham Knight. I have to say, this is probably my favourite iteration of this particular outfit. She seems to have gotten a boob job since Arkham City and her tutu looks smaller than usual but apart from that it looks like a real outfit and the bodice hugs her curves perfectly.

Despite the tutu, this Harley ain't here to play. She's gotten rid of the beach ball and is sitting on a.. bar stool. So, uh, don't even ask her to play darts because she'll just hit you with her two tone baseball bat.

Her hair seems to be a mix of the super blonde and barely blonde. What would you even call that? Blonde enough? That'll do, Blonde? Blonde, sorta Blonde?










Now this one is another exclusive, an online only one. I actually own this version. At first I wasn't going to bother because it's the most Suicide Squady one yet. This statue is corpse white, her hair and outfit is that annoying purple and red and yes she's in that stupid outfit again complete with Elizabethan collar.

She's gone back to her trusty oversized gavel thing and has taken her love of sitting awkwardly to a new location... a stack of books about mental illness and treating patients.

Despite it not being a good idea... or even a kind of ironic place to sit given it's subject matter and physical stability - this is what sold me on it.









Honestly, she looks kind of vacant and bored as opposed to the come hither look I think they were going for but there is a lot of nice detail on here. The eyebrows have little hairs flicking up, the hair itself is really detailed, the lips are a nice colour. The eye make-up looks nice here, I never understood what she actually had on her face in the comic but here it looks like soft make-up a Juggalette might wear on a fancy night out with her Juggalo.

For comparison, here's the normal statue - lighter lip colour, more extended eye make-up, seems to have a bit more sparkle in her eyes... I personally prefer the normal skin tone because the white collar just seems to disappear into her skin otherwise. I feel it also makes her features more angular somehow. 

                                                                                                                                                               






You get a lot of nice things with each statue. The box is nicely presented but you also get a certificate of authenticity and an art card.

Things to know:

The jester cap is surprisingly fragile. One of mine snapped in half while simply inserting it into the slot on her head. Was not impressed. This was fixed on the original one after a short hissy fit. When it came to the web exclusive I was prepared for the possibility it could also be super delicate so I was very careful about it - but was not prepared for the paint to transfer from the gavel (when inserting it into the groove of her) fish belly white skin. Again, it was remedied easily enough but was a hassle I didn't need, not when these things cost about $259 a pop.
