Funko really surprised a lot of people in July with the inaugural DC 3.75" action figures being included in the Suicide Squad-themed Legion of Collectors subscription box. I feel like the initial excitement over ReAction figures had worn off (despite the just-released too-awesome-for-words Dark Crystal ReActions that are rejuvenating the line). And there was hesitant interest in the new 3.75" Game of Thrones line shown at Toy Fair (after the 6" Legacy line was left incomplete in the not-too-distant past). But there is something about starting off a series with a major license like Marvel or DC that can really make your mind light up with character potential. The original two figures were Joker and Harley from the movie. And a new series with a seven additional Suicide Squad figures is due out early next year. I'm excited to see what else comes down the line. I think we'll certainly see more movie-based figures (Wonder Woman, Justice League, etc), but only time will tell. Let's check out Harley below!
While this doesn't look like Margot Robbie, I think the overall sculpt is great with lots of detail and flawless paintwork.
These figures are articulated very similarly to ReAction, but with added elbow and knee joints.
Time for a Comparison Pic!
From Left to Right: Kenner Harley Quinn, Injustice Harley, Suicide Squad Harley, JLU Harley, and Mattel Arkham Knight Harley.
Cheers!
I'm looking forward to the rest of the line appearing early next year.
ReplyDeleteI was quite impressed by the paintwork, but overall I don't like the line. I have very mixed feelings about all the pseudo-retro action figure lines that have been popping up all over the place -- Funko went hell for leather on pumping out stuff under the ReAction banner, and it got old pretty quick...
