I had the opportunity to stop by toysRus this morning and much to my surprise they actually had both of these new exclusives on a bottom shelf in the neca aisle. They had at least 20 of batman and 10 or so of Harley.

It's true that you really do need to compare these in the store. Most of the batman figures had wonky eyes and the paint on the mouth area varies greatly from figure to figure. Some were sloppy, some had a strange black film of paint over the flesh tones, and some were very pink on one side of the face. Also watch the belts, particularly the dark wash that has been applied to it.

As for Harley, I had to pick the best of the worst. Some of them had really sloppy paint apps. Be sure to check the hair, the face paint, the smaller details like her diamond patterns, and even her undies. I will be repainting her makeup and eyebrows for sure, and doing some touchups all over. I don't get to fully open these until X-mas unfortunately, so I can't speak for the build quality yet but I've heard they are solid. I did open the boxes briefly to make sure all the contents are there. One of the Harley's at the store was missing the background insert from the box! Batman's cape does feel higher quality than the Keaton one. Speaking of which, I saw at least 4 brand new Keaton's on the shelf today.
