Harley Quinn Takes It Off At Comic Con

It’s just her mask… don’t get creepy, you weirdos.

All of a sudden, we're like two weeks away from Comic Con, so of course the Con exclusives are being revealed fast and furious.  I was curious about Kotobukiya, as the company typically announces their awesome exclusives fairly well in advance.  I was afraid we wouldn't see anything for the 2013 show, but they have just revealed a special edition Harley Quinn Bishoujo which makes its debut at Comic Con (with a small supply available Monday July 1st on their website for non-attendees like me-- thanks for that, Koto!)

The exclusive Harley features the same great sculpt as the fantastic 2012 release, but with an all-new unmasked Pretty Girl portrait, sporting Harley without her makeup, rocking her blonde pigtails.  It’s a great new portrait, and the added bonus of a color tweak on her giant hammer makes this version of the Bat-villain quite unique from the original.

I really like it– this variant makes a lot of sense, and Harley remains one of the perfect characters to embody the Bishoujo aesthetic.  The new headsculpt, courtesy of the incredible Gill Gill, totally fits the character, and the added details like her hood slunk on her shoulders adds a wonderful realism the way we see in the very best of Koto’s Bishoujo pieces.

Here’s the details, straight from Kotobukiya, on both the Comic Con exclusive Harley and how non-attendees can preorder this Monday:
