The line between good and evil has become blurred over the years. Super\"OLYMPUS<\/a><\/span>heroes like Superman live by a code. Their sense of morality does not allow them to stray off of the straight and narrow. Heroes like Batman do lean more toward the darkness, but bottom line; he does what he does for justice.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Sometimes however the right \u201chero\u201d for the job is a villain. That is when the call goes out to The Suicide Squad. The group is made up of incarcerated super-villains including Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang and works for the government under the supervision of Amanda Waller. <\/span><\/p>\n

I like the premise of having villains play the part of the hero even if it only for selfish reasons.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I also enjoy action figures. So naturally I was drawn in by the figure line from DC Collectibles depicting the Squad. I am fortunate enough to be able to review two amazing figures. One is maniac with a strange voice and a weird getup and the other is Harley Quinn.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Seriously, the second figure is Captain Boomerang.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the Harley figure. I must admit that Harley Quinn is one of my favorite characters. Harley was first introduced on Batman: The Animated Series and it was love at first sight for me. Dr. Harleen Quinzel is crazy pretty, crazily loyal and she dresses in some crazy clothes\u2026that is a whole lot of crazy on her side. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This 6 \u00be-inch figure is a great looking sculpt by Jack Mathews, he even managed to give Harley a crazy look in her eyes.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Her costume is red and blue and it too looks incredible. This costume is a far leap from her first appearance where she wore a red, white and black unitard.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The outfit from \u201cThe New 52\u201d is a bit more risqu\u00e9 with skin tight shorts, mixed matched tights and a laced up corset. I am sure that the fan boys and fan girls find this outfit very appealing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The figure is poseable but some poses cannot be achieved unless you hold it in place. Harley Quinn has approximately 16 points of articulation which are:<\/span><\/p>\n
