From a report from this year’s GENCON (the longest, best attended gaming convention in the world according to its site HERE) come these new Joker and Harley Heroclix figures. They will come in a new Batman set and are said to include a “Duo Action” and an “Indomitable” abilities. (I’m not a player, but you guys maybe grasp these concepts better) I can’t wait to add these guys to my collection though… Here are the pics:

Coming up next in the DC Comics Bishoujo Collection (combining DC’s superheroes and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) is the fan favorite wacky pychologist turned harlequin supervillain HARLEY QUINN! Based on an original illustration by Japan’s renowed Shunya Yamashita, Harley appears here for the first time in the Japanese Bishoujo (pretty girl) style! Harley Quinn shows off her silly yet violent nature as she poses seductively just for you. Perched on her enourmous hammer, the sultry psychotic looks adorable in her trademark black, red, and white harleyquin costume that hugs all of her curves. Harley’s sculpt is fantastic with careful attention paid to her sexy body, the cloth-like movement of her collar and hood, and the fringes on her writsts. With Quinn’s stunning Bishoujo-style face and wonderfully sculpted and painted costume, you won’t need to be as crazy as the Joker to want her around. Constructed on high-quality pvc plastic and standing 10 inches tal (in the ultimate 1/7 scale) on her exclusive hammer base, Harley Quinn was sculpted by Mashiro “Gill Gill” Takahashi. Display Harley on her own or together with other DC Bijousho statues like Poison Ivy and Batgirl!
