When you say so close, do you mean it was similar, or near the same time? The first Harley was one of the ones we sold out the full run, and it came out a long time ago. Not sure the 25th anniversary bust would fill the Harley hole in people's collections, so we made another one. We don't want to release the Batman rogues into a void, so we'll possibly see a new Batman, as well.

He meant similar in design since she's wearing the jester suit again.

Interesting! Any chance it might be the New Batman Adventures version?

Gothamite, Thanks for your response to my comment...that was exactly what I meant, similar in design. But I’m also surprised, it came out, because so many of the first one are still available. A check of eBay shows about 36 (color & B/W) as if tonight.

While new busts (ScarFace, Grey Ghost, etc.) would be wonderful, another Batman could also be great. Has anyone suggested smaller runs, of the lesser characters at a higher SRP or what about doing Guild membership pieces like Gentle Giant? Just a thought.

No plans to start a Batman Guild, but that would be nice.

So not similar in design, per se, just similar in that she's wearing the same costume. It's her most popular costume, and the first one did much better than her police uniform one. Although a Mad Love bust would have been nice, on reflection.

Maybe we’ll see some New Batman Adventures busts of the major characters when the new “The Batman” Movie comes out. A Harley, Joker or Batman version would look great and fit in with the other busts.

You want another Harley Quinn? Her character design changed the least when the show was revamped for Season 4. In one of the episode audio commentaries, Bruce Timm practically said that she didn't change at all.

Also, DST Zach doesn't sound too optimistic about S4 busts:

We'd be starting a new line that is very repetitive of the old line. I'd rather get Clock King or Grey Ghost.

Let me make myself clear...I’m for anything that extents the life of this line of busts. I had the DVD versions of BTAS and watched a few episodes but after picking up the Blu-ray and devouring each episode several times I started buying these busts. I’ve been lucky ($$) and have everyone and will continue to add any they come out with even different versions. I would LOVE to see other characters but I also understand the bottom line and producing pieces that will sell in greater numbers. As far as this line goes...I’m in for the long haul no matter what they produce.

I’m really NOT asking for more Harley’s. I don’t want more Harley’s. There’s enough now. I’m asking for more BTAS busts. I’d prefer new and different characters from the series. But from a business perspective I understand making “best sellers”. In order to support the line, and get the rogue’s we want, I feel we have to pick up what they release. I have a list of 20 other characters I’d like to see in this line.
