While I try to share more positive experiences than negative when I pop in on the forum, I felt to the need to warn people to either avoid this piece or buy from a reputable retailer with a transparent return/exchange policy. This is one of multiple Instagram posts I've seen with abysmal QC issues that the user is apparently overlooking, which I can attest to from having owned and returned it (I intended to exchange it, but I've yet to see much to convince me I'd have receive a better one, similar to the rampant assembly issues with the Batman vs. Harley dio.)

You'll notice from swiping through that the left hyena with the red leash has a broken tail. Mine had a right hyena with a broken and poorly re-glued hind leg. This would make the second DCC statue I've recently bought with obviously reattached damaged parts (both new and sealed copies, not secondhand.)
You can also see excess material underneath one of the feet which was fuzzy on mine and convinced me it was mold or tainted excess glue.
Finally, and this may either be a QC issue or design flaw, but every post I've seen shows a similar fuzzy effect on Harley's glasses. It looks gross in person and made me question if dust was trapped in the plastic or the sunglass tint somehow dissolved into blotches.
I vastly prefer this piece's design compared to the Diamond Select and there's a surprising amount of thoughtfulness in the engineering (Harley is very sturdy on the base despite the thin limbs. You could almost hold the statue upside down without fear of pieces falling) but the factory DCC is using, likely to keep these pieces affordable to a wider retail audience, spits in the face of all that effort.
Edit: also do not tilt or re-position the hat without first taking it off. There isn't enough protective foam covering the inside, so it will leave red marks on her hair.
