... Yuck.

That is the stuff of nightmares.

I hate the art style SS have for their life-sized comic busts, they're all ugly.

Her boobs look super weird :lol This thing is a hot mess.

It's the mouths, like why the GIANT mouth on this? If it's life-sized, wouldn't you want it to be a little realistic? Also the chest just looks weird.

The way it's sculpted makes me THINK she's holding something in front of her, like a mallet, which is making her arms squeeze her chest together, but with it being just a bust she looks like a double amputee with two tennis balls in her jumpsuit. Also, Harley is supposed to be crazy AND hot, this is just crazy....

Her lipstick should be black!

Yeah I just can't imagine a real live human woman who hunches over a little bit and her tits are slightly wider than her face. Just a total oddball as far as anatomy goes.

Is she really supposed to be "hot?"

Admittedly, I don't know much about her as I'm not terribly into toon-to-comic retcons and haven't really followed much of Quinn's backstory and ethos beyond what was offered by WB. I've a similar ambivalence to Firstar, but she's grown a bit on me and I've more of a nostalgic tie to Spidey & Amazing Friends than tBAS, in fair disclosure. Both the toon and a quick Google of her New Earth origin portray her as a psychiatric researcher/practitioner, which doesn't preclude her from potentially being attractive (I like book worms...;)), but society doesn't classically attribute "teh sexy" to these sorts of roles.

I know comics often serve up most characters (even many villains. especially the ladies) as being comely and casting Margot Robbie as Quinn supports that in at least a conventional sense; while she's not exactly my type, I can certainly see why many dudes/& dudettes consider her attractive. That said the source-toon art-style didn't give me any reason to believe she was gorgeous. In fact, my toon takeaway was more of the opposite in that she was meekishly awkward and buffoonsish in appearance (both in dress and looks) consistent with the Joker (in some ways) and what one might expect of any paramour of his. She seemed subdued until the Joker unlocked her mentally ill tendencies toward violence serving as a catalyst for freeing her from other implied inhibitions.

In my opinion, I believe the style of the sculpt and overly-broad smile plus wild eyes - interestingly enough, features that Robbie also has in common with character - are nods to something being visually off about her. An obvious, "that chick is fucked up..." vibe, which this sculpt achieves pretty well.

...but, meh, it's just an opinion...grain of salt, she can be hawt if you want her to be.

Well, you know I always respect your opinion, but in this instance I'm afraid I must disagree :D Harley, more often then not, has been portrayed as a 30/70 split of crazy to sex-object, I believe. The thing that throws me most about this statue though is the upper teeth. Even at someones MOST PISSED OFF or crazy, it is VERY hard to pull your upper lip that far and bare your upper teeth. That's why I don't buy most Wolverine figures either, it just looks silly and unnatural haha

Nothing wrong with disagreeing my guy! lol Ahh...it's a Dr. Teeth thang..she is looking a little chimpy, but it seems intentional. To each their own.. while I don't buy busts or comic statues, I do like this one as an interpretation, at the very least.

The lips are exaggerated, but it's not impossible to bare your upper teeth & gums when laughing.

Not impossible by any means! But it also looks odd in a "frozen in time" statue or a still image haha
