After a month of teasers, artwork and con displays, Kotobukiya has finally released official images and info for their upcoming DC Comics New 52 Suicide Squad Harley Quinn Bishoujo Statue. The 1/7 scale statue is set for release in September. Here are the full details direct from Kotobukiya:

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Kotobukiya proudly presents the next entry in the lineup of Bishoujo statues based on the superheroines and villains of DC Comics with the ultimate fan-favorite character in a colorful look: HARLEY QUINN NEW 52 VER.! First appearing in Batman: the Animated Series and then the pages of DC Comics, Harleen Quinzel was originally a brilliant doctor working with patients at Arkham Asylum before she was seduced by the “clown prince of crime” and became the Joker’s girlfriend and assistant. Her villainous ways have brought her into conflict with Batman many times over the years, and her craziness has led her to fight criminals and heroes alike. Harley Quinn makes her triumphant return to the Bishoujo series with traditional Japanese “pretty girl” styling complementing her unique appearance in the New 52 based on a new character interpretation by Shunya Yamashita!

Harley Quinn stands in a fun, relaxed pose as she leans forward with one hand on her hip and her comically oversized hammer resting over her shoulder. This all-new sculpt features the unique New 52 outfit for the crazy character with her signature harlequin style and blue and red contrasting colors featuring a lace-up top, short shorts, thigh-high stockings, and short cape in addition to twin pigtails. The amazing details on this figure include her exaggerated makeup, bright red lipstick, and color-coordinated painted nails. In addition to her hammer, Harley has twin holstered pistols attached to her gun belt along with spare ammunition clips circling her waist.

Sculpted by M.I.C., Harley Quinn New 52 Ver. stands nearly 9 inches tall (1/7 scale) on her specially designed display base. Display her alone or alongside other DC character Bishoujo statues from Kotobukiya like Batgirl, the Huntress, and Poison Ivy!

DC Collectibles will be releasing a Jim Lee designed Blueline Superman Figure! Fans may remember the excellent Blueline Batman released last year, and this will fit in perfectly with that release. Comic Book Resources has the first look. Superman will sport a pencil sketch style paint scheme as well as a great box similar to the Batman. The figure will stand roughly 6.75″ tall. The biggest news, however, is that this will NOT be an exclusive! The Blueline Superman will hit comic and specialty shops in June for a price of $40.

We have our first official look at the Kotobukiya Red Robin ARTFX+ Statue, which we last saw at SDCC 2015. The 1/10 scale statue stands at 7″ tall and is due out in May 2016. It will be priced at $54.99. Here are more details from Koto:

The latest DC Comics ARTFX+ Statue from Kotobukiya adds another member of the “Batman Family” of characters from the pages of the New 52, RED ROBIN!  The third assistant to Batman after Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, Tim Drake is famous for his detective skills; he actually figured out the Dark Knight’s secret identity all on his own.  But like those before him Drake eventually emerged from the shadow of the Bat to be his own hero and so became Red Robin, leader of the Teen Titans.  That was his role in the New 52 era of DC Comics, and now that incarnation is joining the ever-growing lineup of ARTFX+ Statues!

Brilliant and confident, Red Robin points at villains as though saying “I know all of your secrets!”  The young hero is clad in his distinctive costume first seen in the New 52, a complex black bodysuit with built-in red armor panels and reinforced boots.  On top of that he wears a black utility belt full of pouches, gloves with yellow accents, a red domino mask, and a yellow and blue chest harness that connects to his jetpack and segmented red cape that allows him to fly.  Tim Drake’s outfit has a great metallic, glossy sheen that really brings to life his high tech gear, and there are tons of cool details from his defined musculature to the Teen Titans logo on his shoulder, and much more.  And despite the cocky grin on his face you know Red Robin means business as he holds his trusty staff at the ready!

Sculpted by Naoya Muto, Red Robin stands just over 7 inches tall (1/10 scale) and like all ARTFX+ statues he has magnets in his feet for extra stability on his included display base.  The high flying teen hero looks great on his own and makes a perfect companion piece for the other Batman Family ARTFX+ statues like Red Hood, Nightwing, Damian Wayne, and of course the Dark Knight himself!

This is it, the last of the New 52 figures from DC Collectibles. The DCC New 52 line started in 2012 based on the relaunch of DC Comics in 2011 which shot the characters into the modern age with new looks and new backstories. The line featured 7 inch figures with mid grade articulation but fantastic sculpts and paint. Over time they worked in more articulation upping their desirability. They went through a lot of characters from the core Justice League, to a villains sub-theme, to Earth 2 and a lot of universe fillers. The last wave featured Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, The Joker, and John Stewart, who we will take a look at today. We’ve also updated DC Collectibles recent checklist with the last wave of figures and the SDCC Blueline Batman! Check it all out after the break courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth!

DC Collectibles New 52 Line is winding down. We recently looked at some of the last wave with Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Today we’re showing off the second version of the Joker released so far, one loosely based on Detective Comics #1, before he sliced off his face in the overall continuity. He has a very “killing joke” like sculpt to the face, but is rocking a sinister black trench coat and plain white shirt, grounding the overall look. He comes equipped with a beefy kitchen knife and a smile. Let’s check out how he stacks up after the break with over 30 high res shots courtesy of site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store!

DC Collectibles put out a pretty awesome exclusive this year at SDCC – a “blueline” version of their New 52 Batman figure. The figure is pure white head to toe, with paint apps meant to mimic inking as would be done on a penciled page of a comic book before it is colored. This was overseen by none other than all star artist Jim Lee. The “blueline” aspect comes into play because the packaging features design cues from the blank pages comic artists use to do their pages, what they submit to the comic publisher to be inked and then scanned for coloring (now a days). The standard one came with a printed sketch by Jim Lee, and there were 150 units with hand done sketches, 50 Batman, 50 Joker, 50 Harley. Those are running crazy prices right now in the aftermarket, but I’m cool with the standard one, I can open this without ruining a down payment on a car.

The figure is a fantastic art piece that I was looking forward to since they announced it. Even though doesn’t fit in on a “DC Universe line up” shelf, it’s a cool unique accent piece, and I’m happy I was able to pick one up. Check out over 35 shots of the SDCC Blueline Batman after the break!

The road to the end of DC Collectibles New 52 Action Figures continues today with a photo shoot for Poison Ivy, winner of the fan’s choice poll from DCC back in 2014. Poison Ivy is rocking her New 52 look which features a black jumpsuit layered in foliage and IMO is great modern take on the character. Still keeping a bit of the seductive tendencies in place without putting her in a leaf bikini. Check out our thoughts and over 20 high res shots after the break courtesy of site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store!

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!
