DC Superhero Girls Harley Quinn

My birthday is the last week of August. 

So say hello to my doll birthday present this year: DC Superhero Girls Harley Quinn!

When the DC Superhero Girls dolls first came out, I decided to not purchase her, since I tend to like heroes more than villains, but eventually I decided I needed her to hangout with the rest of the crew.

Like a few of the other DC Superhero Girls dolls, she did not come with a student ID card. I wonder how they decided some characters got them and others did not.

Harleen Quinzell (Harley's real name) comes with a comically large mallet to create havoc with.

Too large for her to stand without support while holding, it turns out. Oh well, that is what salt and pepper shakers are for. Right?

This version of Harley looks way too sure of herself to ever fall for Mr. J (The Joker). Especially since Ivy (Poison Ivy) is already around.

With Harley's addition to my collection, I am only missing 2 characters from this line - Blackstar, who came in a Target exclusive 2-pack with Starfire; and Cheetah, who was in a San Diego Comic Con 2-pack with Wonder Woman and then later was released by herself. 

Mera, Queen of Atlantis

Today I decided to open Barbie DC Justice League Mera, 2017.

With her great colors, she looks amazing out in the sunlight.

Unfortunately, her arms are not jointed at the elbows. If they were, she could have been posed a bit more dynamically.

Her armor is sewn to her body suit, and that is OK with me. I do not plan on redressing her.

While I was out, I took a couple of photos of another red-haired hero.

Squirrel Girl!

 

She looks happy to be playing outside with Tippy Toe.

Wonder Women

I unboxed a Wonder Woman from my collection and decided to photograph all the Wonder Woman dolls in my collection (not counting the little action figures).

Wonder Woman dolls: Mattel - DC Wonder Woman - Diana Prince & Hidden Sword (2017); Mattel - Superman VS Batman: Dawn of Justice - Wonder Woman (2016); Tonner - Diana Prince - Princess of Paradise (redressed, 2014); Mattel - Wonder Woman Collector's Edition (1999); and Mattel - DC Superhero Girls - Wonder Woman (2016).

 

Diana Prince & Hidden Sword was the doll I unboxed today.

She is from the 2017 Wonder Woman movie.

Here she is with the doll from the 2016 Superman VS Batman: Dawn of Justice movie.

This Wonder Woman by Tonner shows off how she reflects bullets with her gauntlets.

This 1999 Wonder Woman was actually my second Wonder Woman doll, I used to have an 8" Mego Wonder Woman, but sold her with my other Mego Superheroes and villains in the early 2000s. 

I look forward to being able to add a Wonder Woman from the Wonder Woman: 1984 movie once it comes out.

DC Superhero Girls Poison Ivy and Hawkgirl

This week my Brother and Sister-in-law surprised me with a gift, DC Superhero Girls Hawkgirl. So it was time for another DC Superhero Girls blog - this will be a two-in-one post with Poison Ivy and Hawkgirl, since Poison Ivy was still in her box, even though I got her in the summer.

This Poison Ivy was released in 2016 with the other first release dolls. I didn't buy her originally, since I wanted to focus on the heroes from the line, not the villains. Now that I have her, I am just missing one doll from the original release - Harley Quinn.

Hawkgirl was an Amazon exclusive that was released around December 2017. She was a slightly more expensive doll than the other basic dolls when she first came out and was hard to find.

The back of Poison Ivy's box gives a little bit of information about her. Unlike Batgirl, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and Bumble Bee, she did not have a student ID card in her box. Neither did Hawkgirl. Weird. I do not remember, offhand, if Starfire, Katana, or Killer Frost had ID cards.

In DC comics, Poison Ivy's alias is Dr. Pamela Isley. She is a botanist (plant scientist) and used her knowledge of plant toxins to commit crimes. Later she gained super powers that allowed her to grow and control plants and emit plant toxins herself. She has become an eco-warrior and is close friends with Harley Quinn.

Not only did Hawkgirl not have an ID card, there is no information about her on the box.

This Hawkgirl is based on the third Hawkgirl - Kendra Saunders (the first two were Shiera Sanders Hall and Shayera Hall). Kendra was a teenager when she committed suicide and the spirit of Shiera Hall entered and resurrected her. Kendra decided to continue Shiera's legacy and became her own incarnation of Hawkgirl.

And now the photos: Poison Ivy

And now some of the whole DC Super Hero Girls gang.
