Suicide Squad Harley Quinn Multiverse Action Figure by Mattel :: Harley Qwednesday

Suicide Squad opens in a little over two weeks, and I have high hopes. Good, bad or indifferent, Suicide Squad will go down in cinematic history for bringing us the first silver screen live action version of Harley Quinn. That alone is reason enough to get me excited and make me want to own this Suicide Squad Harley Quinn action figure from Mattel's Multiverse line.

There's already a surprising amount of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn merchandise, from shirts to POPs to action figures to minifigures to high end collectibles. Hopefully Ms. Robbie delivers and vindicates the amount of money many of you have already shelled out for her likeness! Surprisingly I've only picked up this figure and the bootLEGO (so far.) If the movie delivers I'm sure that will change.

Speaking of likeness, this Multiverse figure isn't perfect. She looks a bit wall-eyed, and this was the best one of the five or so on the shelf. Others looked even worse. Had some of the others been my only choice, I would have passed.

Not sure if the wall-eyed look is universal or if I just found a bad batch.

Another problem with my figure is that her bat is squished and malformed. I was so concerned with getting a version with ok eyes I totally overlooked the bat in the store. So again, not sure if that's a problem across the board or if I just got a wonky bat. It's too bad too, because I got this version (instead of waiting to find the Toys R Us exclusive jacketed Harley Quinn) because if I end up only owning one, I wanted the figure with the bat.

Oh well, maybe it's dented because it bopped so many noggins.

Harley's profile view looks really good.

Her holster is a separate piece, but the gun is not removable.

Harley's shirt has a few 'tears' in it. Obviously this figure represents Harley later in the movie, after she's seen some action. And lost or discarded of her jacket.

I avoided the Multiverse line when it came to Batman v Superman, but that's because there was a more budget conscious $10 line which had the movie moment characters I desired. But I doubt the same approach will be taken with Suicide Squad, so I couldn't pass up on this figure when I found her.

Can't say I'll pick up any more of the Suicide Squad Multiverse line-up (except Katana because my oldest daughter is on a Katana kick lately) but if you pick up all the figures in the line you can build a Killer Croc figure. I won't lose any sleep if I don't complete Killer Croc, honestly I'm pretty sick of the BAF/C&C concept.

Those shoes! I can't believe I was able to get her to stand at all!

Suicide Squad Harley Quinn BootLEGO Minifig

Suicide Squad Harley Quinn BootLEGO - this is the type of thing I live for. I love Harley Quinn and I love BootLEGOs when they give us something LEGO can't or won't create, and when the two come together it's a thing of pure beauty!

Another high quality BootLEGO of unknown manufacture, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn from the upcoming Suicide Squad movie has two faces printed on her head, the second blowing a bubble! This is just one of those fun design aspects the bootleggers threw in of their own volition, proving that even though these things are as illegal as heck from a licensing and copyright perspective, bootleggers are clever artists too and may have a soul afterall!

I forgot to get a pic of it, but the back of her jacket says 'Property of Joker' and as you can see her shirt says 'Daddy's Lil Monster' just like in the movie. Harley Quinn comes with a pistol and a brown stick that is supposed to be her baseball bat. LEGO makes a baseball bat, so I'll have to get an extra to give her, but until then the stick works just fine. her hair is also printed with the highlighted tips and ponytail holders. Tons of detail on this perfect little minfig!

I absolutely can't wait to see Suicide Squad and am thankful the BootLEGOers are also apparently smitten by Harley's first live action appearance on the big screen. There's also a Jared Leto Joker BootLEGO minifig available, but I haven't jumped on that one yet.

Harley Qwednesday :: Upcoming DC Collectibles Harley Quinn Action Figures!

DC Collectibles just solicited a bunch of incredible Harley Quinn action figures and there isn't a bum in the bunch!

I still remember when there was literally ONE Harley Quinn action figure n the entire world.

One. ONE! Yeah, ok, sure, I can also remember when there was zero, but I don't like to dwell on the hell that was a world without a Harley Quinn action figure.

Now, there are dozens, approaching hundreds; more than I can even possibly own!

It should surprise no one that a Margot Robbie Harley Quinn action figure from the upcoming Suicide Squad movie is coming. Pretty sure this movie is going to be a blast, and pretty sure it will re-define Harley Quinn for a whole new audience, so I think I need this action figure.

DC Collectibles is also releasing a series of Amanda Conner designer series Harley Quinn action figures. I absolutely adore Amanda Conner's artwork, and although I am so rarely a completist, this may be the line that breaks me. First up is classic Harley. I'm a sucker for classic Harley.

Next up is Space Harley. I am not reading the ongoing Harley Quinn monthly, so I have no idea why Harley went to space, but if Usagi Yojimbo and April O'Neil can do it, why the hell can't Harley?

Last up is Super Harley. Again, for reasons. I do like this character design, it's a cute look. Pretty sure I need this in my life. even more figures are promised in this line, and you know each one is going to be as adorable as the last.

Finally, DC Collectibles is offering up the BTAS Harley that has already seen release, but in a 'Girls Night Out' five pack with Poison Ivy, Live Wire, Supergirl, Batgirl and our girl Harley Quinn. This is a $100 dollar set if it's a nickel, so I will just add it to my birthday/Christmas list and be done with it.

So there you have it. 2016, which is apparently The year of the Harley.

Harley Qwednesday :: New Suicide Squad Trailer!

Oh, and the Suicide Squad trailer looks good too...

Harley Qwednesday :: Happy Birthday Margot Robbie!

Upcoming live-action 'Harley Quinn' Margot Robbie celebrated her 25th birthday on July 2nd, and she was surprised with a 'Suicide Squad' on-set celebration which included a Harley Quinn themed cake!

No word on whether or not the candles exploded when lit.

Happy Birthday Margot!

STOP THE PRESSES! Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn - First Official Image!

David Ayers just released a full-cast in-character image on Twitter for the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, and yadda yadda I cropped out all those nobodies because who cares about anyone but Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie.

Okay, so there's pretty much nothing that says 'Harley Quinn' here. Too much blue, no harlequin-esque patterns, no diamonds, no kabuki makeup, no domino mask. And tattoos. Sexy? Sure. Harley? Not much.

I won't get all 'nerd-rage' though. This is one image. There are a LOT more images in the film at 24fps, and there is story, script and actor ability still left to factor in here.

EDIT: On-set photos are hitting all over the net today. here are a couple closer looks at Harley via Jimmy Palmiotti:

I admit, these look a little more on target, with red/blue colors reminiscent of her New 52 iteration. Not a fan of the face/neck tattoos but the neck tattoo appears to say "Puddin'". The 'Property of Joker' on the jacket is a nice touch, as is the baseball bat.

Okay fine, here's everyone else too. Katana looks good, I have to admit. Neat seeing a live-action Killer Croc as well!

Margot Robbie Cast as Harley Quinn for 2016 Suicide Squad Movie

Australian actress Margot Robbie has been cast to play Harley Quinn in her motion picture debut in the 2016 slated release of Suicide Squad (not from the files of 'Police Squad').

I know nothing of Miss Robbie, but judging by the couple pics I found online of her in 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' perhaps I should.

Now the real mystery awaits: Will we perchance see Miss Margot Robbie in the classic Harley Quinn costume, even if it's just a moment of fan-service? I sure hope so!

I also can't wait to hear how much Margot Robbie sounds like Harley Quinn. Harley Quinn is a unique member of the Batman rogues gallery, having first appeared as an animated character - her voice is as much a part of her iconic image as the red/black motif and whiteface.

Well, Harley Quinn fans, what are your thoughts on this casting news?
