Hot Toys continues to produce stunningly detailed action figures based on the most popular and beloved franchises. This time, the line expands with the release of a new Harley Quinn figure based on the iconic image of Margot Robbie from the movie "Suicide Squad". The "Artisan Edition" figure captures Harley's chaotic energy, charisma and dark appeal, bringing the iconic anti-hero from the cinema to your collection.
What makes this issue really great is the focus on Harley Quinn's likeness. Hot Toys has created an incredibly detailed and accurate head sculpt that perfectly replicates Margot Robbie's appearance in the film. Her facial expression is truly striking, every detail of the look is on point, from Harley's trademark goth make-up of bright red eyeliner and black lips to the little things like the heart tattoo on her cheek. Each head sculpt is individually hand-painted, giving each figure a unique finish, with careful attention paid to her skin texture, tattoos and makeup details.
Harley's signature hairstyle has also been accurately recreated using the implant technique, using a wool material to perfectly recreate the contrast between her blonde hair and her signature bright red and black pigtails. This untamed image, iconic in "Suicide Squad", emphasizes her unpredictable personality and gives the action figure an incredibly realistic look.
The outfit also stays true to her bold and rebellious character. Harley Quinn's ensemble, which includes a cropped jacket, camisole and skinny pants with alternating black and red panels, conveys her distinct sense of style. The attention to detail extends to her lace-up heeled boots, where all elements are crafted with precision to reflect her on-screen persona.
The Hot Toys Harley Quinn figure also comes with an impressive array of accessories and weapons that capture the essence of her character. These include a rocket launcher that embodies her penchant for explosive mayhem, and a spear that she receives from Javelin in the film, adding an authentic Suicide Squad touch. Also included in the set is a gun, duffel bag, aviator goggles and a neck necklace, making this figure a highly detailed recreation of the fan-favorite villain and anti-hero.
Harley Quinn has become one of the most recognizable and beloved characters in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), and her role in Suicide Squad only cemented her iconic status. Originally created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for the Batman: Harley Quinn animated series, she was first introduced in 1992 as the Joker's sidekick and romantic interest. However, over the years she has evolved from a mere accomplice to the Joker to a complex, independent anti-heroine known for her unpredictable nature and chaotic energy.
Directed by James Gunn, Suicide Squad sees Harley Quinn return to the big screen in a standout role played by Margot Robbie, whose portrayal has been widely praised. Robbie first played the role in 2016's Suicide Squad, where her performance quickly became the highlight of the film. She followed this role with Birds of Prey (2020), which further explored Harley's journey from the Joker and showcased her as a more independent character.
In Suicide Squad (2021), Harley Quinn is once again recruited by Amanda Waller to join Task Force X, also known as the Suicide Squad, a team of incarcerated supervillains who are sent on dangerous missions in exchange for reduced terms. The film's story is a mixture of action, dark humor and typical Gunn irreverence, and Harley Quinn played a significant role in some of its most memorable scenes. She brings her chaotic charm to the mission, showcasing her combat prowess, unpredictable personality, and newfound sense of independence.
In this film, Harley's character grew beyond her relationship with the Joker. While her past love for the Joker was central to her early stories, Suicide Squad portrays her as a character who has broken free from that toxic relationship. She embraces her own brand of freedom and madness, making her a more nuanced and multi-layered figure. Her complicated relationship with violence, impulsive nature, and occasional poignant moments of vulnerability add depth to the character, making her much more than just a villain.
"Suicide Squad" presents Harley Quinn as a strange heroine, unpredictable and untamed. From her explosive breakout scenes to her quirky and deadly romances, she continues to prove that she is not only one of Gotham's most dangerous villains, but also one of the most fascinating characters in the DCEU.
The Hot Toys Harley Quinn figure captures this point perfectly. Her goth make-up, signature pigtails and flamboyant outfits reflect the image she has in the film, especially her bold entrance scenes that captivated the audience. The attention to detail in her tattoos, her signature costume, and her arsenal of weapons reflects the combination of madness and charm that defines her character in Suicide Squad. Hot Toys has masterfully recreated this image, ensuring that Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad fans can now own a piece of this cinematic magic.
