In the “Harley and Ivy” comic mini-series. The gals head west when they hear a film is being made about them. Harley initially takes the place of the director, and then she plays herself. This is the costume of “Harley” as she appeared on set. As much as the original comic inspired me, I was also inspired by the amazing cosplay of Enasni Volz and Elise Archer. Their versions of this outfit made me want to make a tiny plastic version for my shelf.
The body is the standard Mattel Hawkgirl, with a Hasbro Harley feet, wrists, head, and a third tassel glued to the front. The Elizabethan ruffle collar is taken from a Lego Shakespeare, because I’m not insane enough to sculpt that.
This may be the only time I ever get to apply the gloss varnish with shiny sparkles (“Sparkle Glaze”). Such silly fun!

Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
Didn’t you once say you can never have too many Harley Quinns?
harley’s about the only character you can get creative with, and still have it in character. It’s a Really a nice, fun custom. (I’m surprised the lego ruffled collar fits!)
Never enough Harleys! And the collar… had to be made to fit. Had to expand the neck a wee bit. 😉
