I love when I see a figure in person and my perception of it completely changes. When I first saw solicitation images of this figure around Toy Fair earlier this year I wasn't really impressed. Sure, she was cute, and sure, it's a good representation of Dustin Nguyen's art, but I just knew she was going to be a "pass" for me. Especially considering the insane amount of awesome DCC products solicited at the same time. I kind of forgot about her until I saw her in person at my local comic shop last week and was totally won over. There's something incredibly charming about this figure that doesn't come across well in 2-D photos. Plus I didn't realize that she would be half the price of a typical DCC figure. Now I have my typical wishes for a Catwoman and Poison Ivy figure keep her company. Not to mention Huntress, Batgirl and Batwoman who get a lot of play in Dustin's Li'L Gotham comic. I can imagine my entire Bat-shelf getting an adorable makeover. Let's check out Harley below!
The sculpt by Jong Wan Lee is great. I would think Dustin Nguyen's "watercolory/gestural" art would be extremely difficult to translate into 3-D, but he did a fantastic job.
Harley has decent articulation considering her diminutive size. She has a neck swivel, hinge and swivel shoulders, pivot wrists, and simple leg cuts. She's really lightweight and comes with a figure stand so you can get her in a lot of fun poses.
Harley comes with some equally adorable accessories. Aside from her figure stand, Harley comes with a mallet, a sleeping hyena puppy, and a Joker dolly.
Here are some images of Dustin's Harley.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here she is with the JLU Harley from Mattel and the Eaglemoss lead figurine.
Cheers!
I got this one for my birthday! She is incredibly cute. I haven't gotten the chance to open mine but I knew you must have her on deck, and was wondering when you'd get your post up. I was actually considering not opening mine, as she looks so good in package, but your pics have convinced me to get her out of her plastic prison.
ReplyDeleteBTW I just noticed that her black/red colors are transposed. If I were more anal that might bother me.
ReplyDeleteI would have never noticed the colors haha. If you open her up, be careful forcing the mallet into her closed-loop fist. The hole in her hand is smaller than the post or the Joker doll's arm, yet semi-flexible. I would suggest forcing the ragdoll's arm into the palm side of the hand into order to stretch the hole. Then the mallet will fit fine. I wouldn't try forcing the hole open with the mallet because it seems much more fragile than the doll. Also, my mallet has a little "nub" on the handle which prevents her from holding it closer to the business end of the stick. I don't know if it's just a random plastic accident or intentional. Curious to hear if you have one too.
DeleteThanks for the warning - I haven't gotten the chance toopen/photograph her, but I hope to this weekend. When I do I'll let you know if mine's mallet is nubbed too.
DeleteThat...is...adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the little hyena too! :D
I really hope we see more of these.
I know she makes me giddy. I think we will see more. I've noticed a pattern with DCC where if the figures are numbered, it will likely be an ongoing series. Fingers crossed!
Deletegot this one. SO adorable i wanna cry...
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm a little bummed there weren't more solicited at Toy Fair. Ivy at the very least.
