The sculpt for Harley looks the same (Date Night set and sold separately versions). It's the bad paint job on her face that kills it. The version that Mattel showed at the cons, and which appear in close-up promo shots, is probably hand-painted, I bet.

You seem to have a point there.. If you notice on Harley pg91 the front part of the hair is different than the one shown at the con, it being rounded and not as sharp. Maybe they just have a problem reproducing the more detailed look... hope not.
