DC Collectibles New 52 Line is still going strong even though we are nearing the end of it’s run in the books. We still have a few more coming before DC Icons starts later in the year including today’s Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and a non-slice-face Joker. I personally dug a lot of the redesigns and have been picking them up randomly, not a front to back thing here. So, today we have the Joker’s loyal squeeze Harley Quinn. Check out what we thought and over 30 pics courtesy of Big Bad Toy Store!

DC Collectibles New 52 Harley Quinn
Pros
Solid sculpt
Great colors
Roller Skates
Mallet
Cons
Simple articulation
Overall
Overall this is yet another solid addition to a New 52 shelf. This DCC sub-line does not focus on articulation, though it has gotten better since it began. No double joints, no waist or chest, some swivels at the wrist and ankle. The sculpt and paint is fantastic though aside from that. The roller skates plug into ports on the underside of the foot, non-rolling and poseability is about the same either way. The giant mallet is awesome and I can see it being ported over to other Harley figures easily. Bottom line, if you’re a Harley fan, a New 52 fan, or even a roller derby fan :), she’s a pick up! Check out some key shots below and the rest after that in thumbnail mode!

Not too many more planned as of now, but here's the start of our last hurrah into the New 52 line from DCC.
First up, Harley!
Face seems to have puffed up a bit since they started previewing it.
Yeah, that's the one thing that I don't dig in this one, the face is a bit bloated looking. Can't tell if it's the purposeful design or a mold issue.
The figure was absolutely perfect in the initial preview, but now she looks like she got botched face surgery.
Well Amanda Conner has always kinda drawn her with a more rounded and puffy face, so I think this looks pretty good. If you want serious Harley go get the Arkham Knight figure.
i've heard her for a few weeks now, and i thought the same as well. her face is puffy and in certain angles she looks right and in other angles she looks weird.... maybe that's why i haven't opened her yet.
Poison Ivy is up, finally.

Really great sculpt, face is perfect, like the opposite of that Harley face.
That Ivy looks really good. The Harley not so much.
They're both pretty cool!
Rather disappointing redesigns, IMHO.
I think they are both nice looking, but they don't really go together very well. The Harley Quinn looks like she should have been in the designer series since she obviously looks so much like the artwork from her solo series. The Poison Ivy figure looks more generic because she doesn't seem to be based on any particular artists' work. I have both figures and they both look fine standing side by side, but they just don't seem like they fit together to me. I really like the Harley Quinn figure because of all the sculpted and painted details. The Ivy is a little disappointing because she has so little articulation but I have come to expect that from DC.
Last wave Joker is up! Just running clean up on these, not super duper new.

The New 52 line was one of my favorites, very little re-use of parts and all seem to pulled from the pages of the comics of the New 52. The artist that did Poison Ivy isn't coming to mind, but she's one of my favorites of the line. This Joker is very similar to the Arkham Origins Joker, however the New 52 Joker does seem smaller than the Origins. Still it's a great addition to the line. Hopefully Swamp Thing won't be the last figure.
And, the end cap - Green Lantern John Stewart:
Goodbye New 52, hello Icons! It was a great run.
Also, updated DC Collectibles New 52 checklist. Doesn't include repaints but I did toss in the Blueline SDCC Batman.
