Nine months ago, Kotobukiya announced their plans for the paired duo of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn for their Bishoujo series of figures. Times and ideas changed, as Poison Ivy has already been released (and reviewed) but no where in sight has been her gal pal, Harley. Facebook has brought joy once again, as today we get to see what Mr. J's partner will look like with her release.
Originally, Harley was planned to be a shared release with Poison Ivy, but due to issues, it just couldn't be worked out. Given what we are getting instead, I'm glad they made the change. For starters, I'm actually loving the face they gave her. She doesn't look like a doll, but rather someone that will smile while beating you with a large, blunt object. That face is appropriate for this figure as she is carrying a gigantic, over-sized mallet.
I'm loving the illustration and if we get what's shown here, it's an instant buy. I think many of you will be sharing this sentiment when DC Bishoujo Harley Quinn is released for a price and time still to be determined.
