My latest pre-order delivery was Harley Quinn from the Birds of Prey film. I watched it back in February and really like it. It was so much better and more fun than Suicide Squad. The figure represents Harley's look during the climactic fight in the funhouse, with her golden overalls, pink tank top and roller skates. The look is not as eye catching as her Suicide Squad outfit, but it's still shiny and colorful.
The box is very colorful and really stands out, with photos of Margo Robbie from the movie and pastel colors that were Harley's look in it. The figure comes with 3 alternate heads (smiling, open mouth laughing, and closed mouth with lollipop in it), 4 pairs of hands (open, relaxed, holding lollipop and for holding her mallet), her mallet with smiley face on both ends, and a pair of Roller Skates that can be swapped with the boots on her feet. I would've liked maybe an extra pair of holding hands and a gun, and maybe an extra closed mouth or serious face. But what she comes with is still decent.
The boots can be swapped off by pulling them off the peg and inserting the roller skates. The 3 faces are all look like Margo Robbie. Her necklace is an extra loose piece than can be removed when swapping out the heads. One thing that's different from other Figuarts female figures is that all 3 heads are different, whereas with other figures, they usually come with different face plates that can be swapped by removing the front hair piece. Since these are whole swappable heads, the pony tails are separate pieces that can be pegged into holes on the sides of the head. So everytime you switch the head, you have to switch the ponytails as well. This may pose a potential issue as the pieces are small and if you were to drop and lose them, then Harley would be without her ponies. So be careful not to lose them. Her golden overalls have a harlequin diamond pattern throughout them that really shows up in light. It's a nice touch, as are her small tattoos that are very detailed. And the colors and patterns on her roller skates are quite colorful and really stand out.
Her articulation is her head on a ball joint that can look in every direction, her pony tails that can move around, her neck, her shoulders that can drop down and are on a ball joint with swivel, allowing them to have a good range, moving high up, around and forward. Her upper torso can only move a bit from side to side, but her waist can crunch in every direction quite far, though it will leave a small gap when moving too far. The elbows aren't fully double jointed but do move in quite far, there's a slight swivel on them, and the wrists are on a ball joint. The thighs can kick out forward and out quite far, and the knees are double jointed, with pivots at the ankles and toe hinge on the boots. One thing about the knees is that the joint underneath is a dull yellow instead of the shiny gold of her pants, so when they show when bending them, they stand out. I suppose they opted not to color the joints the same golden shade as the paint may potentially rub off. However, they still are a bit of an eyesore.
Ultimately, the figure is quite good. The articulation is good, the accessories are nice, and the paint apps and sculpt are all exceptional. Because of her bright, shiny color, she most definitely stands out among my other characters.
I'm pleased with my Harley Quinn figure. The film didn't do as well as expected at the box office, so I doubt we'll get any other characters from the movie. I would've loved a Huntress or Roman Sionis aka Black Mask. But Harley was the star, so her figure is nice enough to represent the cast. If you're a fan of Birds of Prey, she's worth getting.
