If you knew me only by the ornaments decorating my work office, then you know it’s no surprise how much I loved Harley Quinn in 2016’s Suicide Squad. Her character was the best part of it in my opinion, but I digress. Also, it’s not any secret how much I adore actress Margot Robbie as said character. In the past year I have been very fortunate to review Harley Quinn DC Collectibles merchandise such as the DC Comics Designer Series: Harley Quinn by Amanda Conner Action Figure Set here, Amazon Exclusive Harley Quinn Statue – Suicide Squad Blu-ray Combo Pack here and the DC Collectibles Suicide Squad Harley Quinn and Joker statue over here. I mention these three reviews only because compared to the next collectible we are gathered here to talk about today they are all small fries. I mean that in both stature and price. That’s right ladies and gentlemen I’m stepping up to the “Big Leagues” with the following Sideshow Exclusive Edition Harley Quinn Premium Format collectible.

So you’re all probably “wondering” to yourself like Aaron Neuwirth asked me yesterday. Is Why So Blu’s Brian White ever going to review Wonder Woman on any home media format? You’re kidding right? I may hold the Internet record for most reviews of it. I dare you to call me out on it. Let’s count the ways I have brought September 19th’s Wonder Woman release date to your computer screen. It all started three weeks ago when I covered the 4K UHD Dolby Vision VUDU release of Wonder Woman over here. Next up we were one of the first major sites to review the Warner Bros. 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray product over here. And finally, we had you covered with eye-popping three dimensions in our Blu-ray 3D review of it all here. If that’s not enough Wonder Woman for you, then try this one on for size. We were also among the first to tackle the three new DC Collectibles statues from the film with our picture-by-picture unboxing of the Goddess in her AmazonTraining Suit over here. So like Eminem once said I’m back! I last covered an exclusive piece like this here with the Warner Bros./Amazon Exclusive Harley Quinn Suicide Squad Blu-ray set. Now we have a Wonder Woman one, exclusive DC Collectibles statue and all. Follow me down below as I take you through this exclusive release complete with a picture-by-picture replay of my unboxing.

I don’t know about you all but I’m getting super excited for the upcoming release of Wonder Woman this Friday. June 2nd cannot come fast enough! So how does one celebrate all things Wonder Woman in the meantime while we’re wishing our lives away for it to finally be June 2nd? Well you can always watch Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice over an over, but even that could get tiresome. What about the animated Wonder Woman feature reviewed recently here? Beware of possible spoilers though! Heck! I even tried reviewing this newest collectible here, but it did not satisfy my appetite completely. Hey! I know! What about this one? Let’s kill some time today talking about a new figure coming out officially from DC Collectibles in June (or May 17th if you look here). I’m talking about the new Blueline Wonder Woman black-and-white action figure, which is available to ship via ShopDCEntertainment.com on June 28th. Let’s chat!

A few months ago before going under the knife for an invasive hip procedure, I managed to crank out not one, but two exciting DC Collectibles statue reviews of my favorite DC Comics girl, Harley Quinn. They were both based on the likeness of Margot Robbie from last year’s Suicide Squad. While the one reviewed here featured the power couple of the Joker and her the one of over here was all Harley, sexy fishnet stockings and all. For some reason or another those statues were not released until some months after the movie’s premiere last year. Around the same time DC Collectibles announced their upcoming 1/6 scale statue lineup of 3 Wonder Woman movie statues and 5 from November’s Justice League movie with each of the 5 members receiving their own. Why I’m telling you all of this is because while the hotly anticipated Wonder Woman film is not dropping in theaters until June 2nd the 3 statues from the film all dropped May 17th.

When DC Collectibles asked me if I wanted to review a new Harley Quinn set, how could I say no? Sight unseen I said heck yeah I’d be interested. My philosophy is you can never have too many Harley Quinn’s in your collection/life. If you’re unfamiliar with my adoration of Miss Harley Quinn, please feast your eyes on the follow two collectible reviews here and here. She was the best part of last year’s Suicide Squad for me and no matter what DC Comics future movie plans are, whether we will see Gotham City Sirens first or a second Suicide Squad film, Margot Robbie’s take on the sexy, mischievous character already has my movie money. You can take that to the bank and cash it now, but I digress. Let’s get started here! Continue reading ‘DC Comics Designer Series: Harley Quinn by Amanda Conner Action Figure Set (Review)’

Before we begin here let me ask you guys this. Have you ever heard the phrase hiding in the spotlight? Well I got to be honest with you. This Warner Bros./Amazon Exclusive Harley Quinn Suicide Squad Blu-ray set brings that phrase to life. I mean at least for me it does and here’s why. Don’t let that $116 price tag fool you. That’s an absolute bargain for what you’re getting here. I think it goes without saying that you’re getting the Blu-ray Combo Pack which includes the Theatrical and Extended Cut of Suicide Squad on Blu-ray disc, a DVD and a Digital HD redemption code. However, all that is secondary to the real treasure inside this big box. You’re also getting the long sold out and highly sought after DC Collectibles Harley Quinn Suicide Squad statue. It’s such a rare find anymore that it’s not even on the DC Collectibles website any longer. You can see the exact statue plus a video turnaround of it by visiting here. But that’s not it! I want to further blow your mind. The limited edition statue’s retail price was $154.99 and is going well over $200 on eBay and Amazon third parties currently.

I kind of wanted to try something new on the site here. Many years ago I became so smitten with the world of collecting (mostly Star Wars) that it got to the point of insanity when you have Master Replica lightsabers and Slave Leia’s in your kitchen, living room, office and basically anywhere you can think of because of lack of proper display space. Couple that with the expense of having to haul all of that crap half way across the country in a move from Ohio to Texas and I swore I’d never do it again. However, the itch has returned and has taught me a “valuable” lesson. Never say never. I quote the word valuable because let’s face it in order to really collect some cool items one must at least have some disposable income or else you’re very prone to go broke. I would say modern day, pop culture brands like Pop! Funko and Jada Metals in the Suicide Squad (mostly Harley Quinn) and Batman v Superman lineups have been my undoing. Thanks to them I’m once again a “Sucker For Pain.” My fiancee didn’t help stop my itch with all the wonderful toys she got me last Christmas. My co-worker has also been a bad influence too with all his collectibles he brings in. They both made me itchier. Ha ha. So that brings me to the reason we’re all gathered here today… Continue reading ‘DC Collectibles Suicide Squad Harley Quinn and Joker Statue (Review)’
