Year Released
2012: This figure debuted in the early waves of the DC Super Heroes line, reflecting a shift toward licensed comic-book-inspired designs.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare: While mass-produced, it only appeared in one mid-range set and has since been replaced by modern variations.
Head
Double-sided white head with a black domino mask, blue eyes, and red lipstick. One side features a slight smirk, the other a larger cheeky grin.
Torso
Red and black split pattern jester suit with white collar printing. Features black diamonds on the red side and red diamonds on the black side. Reverse printing included.
Legs
Dual-colored red and black legs with alternating diamond prints (three black diamonds on the red leg, three red diamonds on the black leg).
Accessories
Includes a specialized red and black bi-color jester hat with white pom-pom tips. In the original set, she was equipped with a giant mallet (built from standard parts).
Color Scheme
A strict red, black, and white split-scheme, staying faithful to the Batman: The Animated Series aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with excellent alignment. It features significant detail on the torso and legs, though it lacks arm printing common in modern 'prestige' figures.
Variants
This is the 'modern' classic version. It differs from the 2008 'Original' (bat015) which had different face printing and no diamond prints on the legs.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'hand-bite' cracks in the arm sockets and torso bottom. The white pom-poms on the hat are prone to paint scuffing. Check for neck-ring cracks on the torso.
Estimated Value
New: $25–$35; Used Complete: $12–$20. Prices fluctuate based on the condition of the fragile jester hat.
Price (New)
Originally available in Set 6857 for $34.99 USD, which contained 5 minifigures, making her individual value roughly $7 at retail launch.
Compatible Sets
Set 6857: The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape (2012).
Character Background
First appearing in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, Harley Quinn is the Joker’s former psychiatrist turned accomplice. This outfit is her most iconic look.
Design Notes
The 2012 update improved upon the 2008 version by adding diamond leg prints and a more expressive face, better capturing the character's manic energy.
Similar Minifigures
Original Harley Quinn (bat015), Suicide Squad Harley (sh306), and The LEGO Batman Movie Harley (sh331).
Collectibility
High. This is considered the 'definitive' classic Harley Quinn for many collectors preferring the traditional comic book look over the film versions.
History
This represented the second major design iteration of the character in LEGO form, released just as LEGO was transitioning to the 'Super Heroes' branding.
Interesting Facts
The hat is a dual-molded piece, which was relatively expensive to produce at the time compared to standard single-color hair pieces.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the Joker (sh005) or inside a custom-built Joker-themed funhouse or jail cell vignette.
Modification Potential
The head and torso are frequently used by customizers to create 'Punchline' or other clown-themed henchmen due to the high-quality white base.
Overall Assessment
A 9/10 for DC fans. It is an essential piece of any Batman collection, perfectly capturing the aesthetic of the 1990s animation and silver age comics.
