S.H. Figuarts Review | Harley Quinn (Birds Of Prey: And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)

Is the S.H. Figuarts Harley Quinn from Birds of Prey worth adding to your collection? Find out in this detailed review.

Initially scheduled for March, Bandai had no choice but to postpone the release of its S.H. Figuarts Harley Quinn from the movie Birds of Prey: And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn due to the coronavirus pandemic. But she’s finally here, and she’s ready to get this party started. After the long delays, is the figure a worthy addition to your collection?

This figure includes three distinct head sculpts, two roller feet, eight interchangeable hands, and Harley’s mallet. The ponytails are detachable, allowing you to switch them between the various head sculpts.

MARGOT ROBBIE

Regarding head sculpts, Figuarts has done an incredible job capturing Margot Robbie’s likeness. It’s significantly better than Mafex, which already produced solid head sculpts for the character! Figuarts effectively captures Robbie’s various facial expressions as Harley. The first head sculpt features a smiling expression, the second shows her holding a lollipop with a serious look, and the last showcases an excited Harley expression. All three head sculpts are excellent; I wouldn’t say one is superior to the others regarding likeness and quality.

However, I will mention that the lollipop head sculpt might have been better replaced with a straightforward, serious head sculpt without the lollipop. Regarding the hair color, Figuarts tends to have a slight issue with blonde hair, and it seems we’ve encountered that problem again. They use yellow paint that doesn’t resemble natural blonde hair, making it feel a bit off. It’s not a significant issue, though, as the figure still looks great, but the hair color could definitely be improved.

This figure has 26 points of articulation. The roller feet only have one POA each, unlike the basic feet, though you can easily pose Harley with the rollers. It’s a great accessory they included, and I think it’s something Figuarts wouldn’t have done two years ago, but they have improved over the years with their accessories, and I’m very grateful! I love their outfit for this figure because Figuarts is always great with shiny gold paints, and they nailed it here! They were more careful with the details for this Harley and got the tattoos along with the rings on her fingers! I applaud them for their efforts! The necklace is a separate piece so that you can remove it! The rollers also have shiny, beautiful, and colorful paint apps!

The mallet has outstanding paint apps, but that’s usually true for weapons with Figuarts!
