A few photos of my fantabulash and hard-won Harley Quinn
collection from over the years!
Back in the early days of my HQ fan devotion, Australia was not exactly a
hub of geekery collecting opportunities. To be honest, it still isn't, though
things have seriously improved. But back then I relied on two things:
luck and awesome internet people.
Luck did, indeed, visit me on a couple of occasions, with tracking things
down in a store or at a meagre comic book convention, but mostly it was the
wonderful people I met on the net who helped me out by sending me collectibles
as gifts. They got my collection started and boy, am I ever grateful.
Nowadays, with eBay the way it is, it's simply a matter of patience: waiting
for a missing item to come up and then bidding. Heck, with Buy It Now, there's
not even the nail-biting anxiety of the auction process! Me, I'm not a patient
person so that suits me just fine. :) My collection has been seriously padded
out this year with my return to the fandom and I'm close to having everything
HQ related now... a goal that once seemed impossible.
Anyway, here's a few pics of my fabulash collection - enjoy! :D Click the
pics to see them full-size, as always!

These are the two most recent 13" action
figures. They are very beautiful and nicely made, but don't match up quite
perfectly as a pair, since Joker has a more cartoony face and Harley a realistic
one. Still, they are pretty special!

All of the various toys I have so far
that feature Harley - have a few left to get, but I'm sure they'll
find their way to me soon enough!!

In this image you can see better the
HQ Barbie Doll (far right, back) - a friend of mine found that in a K-Mart
(sort ogf Walmart equivalent) in a small country town here in Oz! Unbelievable.
Far right, down the front, is the microverse villains, Harley is not even
an inch high. Joanna, my oldest online friend, sent me that one years ago!

In this image you can see, far right
up the back, the original HQ action figure as sent to me, again, by Joanna
alone with the microverse Joker set, also from Joanna.
The HQ 12" is inbetween the Barbie and the action figure - kindly sent to
me, with her matching Joker 12" (not pictured) by a fellow I knew as The
Clock King. He also sent me the shirts back in the day.

Damn, that girl looked after me! <3

This photo frame was given to me by
Joanna on condition I put a picture of her and I in there - hahaha.
Well, as you can see, eleven years later it's still there and has set by
my bed all this time!
