This is the first review from this line of DC Direct Animated Maquettes, in this case, Harley Quinn. A few years back, DC Direct released a series of the animated women in cute/sexy poses. It included Harley Quinn, Supergirl, Poison Ivy, Batgirl, and Catwoman.
The idea for the line is basically a less “adult” version of the more recent Adam Hughes statues, done with the animated ladies. Harley Quinn’s statue has a great concept. Having her laying down on top of a giant deck of cards with a novelty sized gun.
The sculpting is nice and looks very similar to the animated series. The paint is solid, even if it is simple.
I do have one issue with the statue that kept me from keeping it. I don’t like her smile one bit. It doesn’t remind me of Harley’s face in the animated series at all. It annoyed me more the more I looked at it. I’m being too picky but there you have it.
The cards have a tendency to get dirty due to the space between them so make sure you dust this on a regular basis.
3.5/5. Just because I don’t like the face, doesn’t mean you won’t.
Buying Options : Long sold out at retail, good luck at Ebay.
