Oh, lookie! Another Harley Quinn! This is the last, for a little bit, and this one is definitely something different than what I have.
My second Mafex figure. It's pretty much going on the same theme as the Suicide Harley Quinn. The consistency is something I can give some praise to.
The strange thing I noticed this time around is how big these boxes are compared to the figure. I suppose Figma and Mafex have that in common; Figuarts and Revoltech try to be a bit conservative.
Now this is a nice new addition to the Harley shrine, simply because it's another sexy Harley from the infamous Suicide Squad movie. It has nice sculpturing all around, her jewelries, her shoes, her figure, nicely done. My only complaint is her dress not as tapered as it should be. It makes her look a bit wider, and that's not the case with most takes on Harley. In fact, this dress does not hug her body well; definitely one of the main downfall of the figure. But the dress itself, along with the tassles on her skirt, the back, are all well done.
They did a fantastic job with the coloring. It's pretty accurate from what I remember! Though I'm not sure when she got the chance to put her leg tattoos between this time and when she was assigned to Taskforce-X... regardless, it's a good job on the coloring. The skin tone is pale, the black and gold are clean, her hair is nicely painted, and the face is pretty. I can't complain too much about the paint art department.
Compared to her regular Mafex version, Harley does not come with a whole lot of accessories at her disposal. She comes with a few hands, that's it. Obviously, one head is for a Mafex Batman and the other is for the other Harley Quinn. So she's pretty short-handed in this department.
She does come with the stand that comes with the Mafex series, which I love.
You will get what you expect from an import in regards to articulation. Though with the fact that she doesn't come with any aesthetically pleasing effects with her flimsy dress and hair, one won't be able to get her into dynamic looking poses without looking too... unconvincing.
Giving her the other Harley's bat and gun adds some fun factor to this figure. So how fun would this figure be without the other Harley is the real question.
Speaking of the other Harley, right?
I think the majority of this figure's appeal comes from how sexy this actress is wearing this dress. I would say that that mindset translates well into this figure, but the fact that the dress adds some 'size' to the character takes some of that idea away. She comes with the gimmick of 'extra' accessories for the other figures, but she doesn't do anything for her own set. Still, if one is a Harley fan and loves this version of her and don't want the cheap Mattel (and ugly) version or want to pay for the Hot Toy, this is the route to go.
