BootLEGO New 52 Poison Ivy Minifig

Another BootLEGO minifig for my collection, the New52 version of Poison Ivy!

I've never been a fan of the face-vines on this iteration of Poison Ivy. They just make the design look too busy. But I like the foliage-on-black body suit. This Poison Ivy minifig captures that effect nicely. She also came with a single vine accessory. Found on eBay for CHEAP!

BootLEGO New 52 Teen Titans Red Robin Minifigure

As a Robin fan, this 'New 52' Teen Titans Red Robin Minifigure was a must-have BootLEGO. He's about the same level of quality as the Red Hood minifig I posted a few days back, but 'dat CAPE! It's super-cool and unique and a good minifig translation of the ridiculous cape they gave Tim Drake for the New 52 relaunch. And although the plastic quality is a bit lower than the better BootLEGOs out there, he is printed on his arms and his back as well, so there's a lot of detail on this little guy!

Harley Qwednesday :: New 52 Harley Quinn Blind Box Vinyl Figure by Kidrobot

Of course the REAL news this week is the official and on-set images of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. But that post just couldn't wait for Harley Qwednesday, so if you missed it go back and check it out!

I recently found out about the Kidrobot DC Comics New 52 Blind Boxed Mini Figures and the Harley Quinn therein, and just had to track her down!

I didn't dare try to score her at retail, as these blind boxed figures make it impossible to discern what's inside without actually opening them up. So I went the safe route and nabbed her off eBay. Your odds of finding Harley naturally are 1/20.

Harley Quinn's 'New 52' outfit is hands-down her worst look ever, and you can tell it is the major inspiration for the Suicide Squad movie look.

But for good or ill the 'New 52' has now claimed it's place in comic-book history. I probably won't bother with any other version of Harley in this guise until the movie stuff starts to hit), and bad costume or no, you can't deny that the Kidrobot aesthetic is pretty cute.

So until we get a Margot Robbie with Kung-Fu Grip action figure, this little vinyl 3" figure was the best way to add Juggalo Quinn to my collection and not feel too icky about it.

LEGO 'New 52' Harley Quinn Minifigure :: Harley Qwednesday

Revealed at Toy Fair 2015, this 'modern' or 'New 52' take on Harley Quinn in minifigure form will be available as part of the very expensive and out of my budget LEGO Jokerland set # 76035 - to be released later in 2015.

I hope the set also includes a haripiece in black/red but I don't see any indication of that fact on the box:

I have to admit though, that is one fine looking set! A Jokerland amusement park and Joker, Harley, Batman, Robin, Poison Ivy, Penguin AND Beast Boy and Starfire!!! Not to mention that sweet Batmobile.

I know it's going to be too pricey for me, unless I win the lottery or something. Regardless, I am going to either have to track that Harley Quinn down (like I did for the Dr. Quinzel LEGO minifigure) or wait for my beloved Chinese bootLEGO makers to release one for super cheap!
