So, I’ve been really getting into collecting these Funko Pop figures lately. You know, those little vinyl guys with the big heads? Well, I saw this one online – Dr. Harleen Quinzel. Yeah, before she went full-on Harley Quinn, when she was just a seemingly normal psychiatrist. I knew I had to get my hands on it!
I started hunting online. Checked out all the usual spots where you can find these things. There were a few different listings, some new, some used, but the prices were all over the place. It was a real mixed bag.
One of them was a “Pop in a Box” or PIb, I guess that’s what it stands for. This one was looking pretty good, but the shipping cost was a little steep. They were asking for a fortune! I kept looking though, because there had to be a better deal somewhere.
I stumbled upon another listing for Funko POP #252, Dr. Harleen, and the price was way better. This one was used, but the seller had good reviews, and the pictures looked okay. I started to think about all the places I could display it. I got really excited and even started to look for more to add to my collection. Anyway, back to Dr. Harleen.
Then, I found one that had “Free Shipping on Orders $65+”. Okay, that’s cool, but I was only looking for this one figure for now. I mean, unless I found a bunch more that I suddenly “needed,” which is always a possibility. I was really trying to keep my spending in check, I already bought so many of these things.
I kept browsing, and there was another one that specifically mentioned “Batman The Animated Series”. That’s the version of Harley I really like, so I was getting even more into it. The details in the animated series, I really like how they drew her. I was looking really hard for that version of the figure.
Oh, and I found this Brazilian site, I guess? It had “Compre funko dr harleen quinzel com a melhor oferta no Buscap” written on it. I don’t speak Portuguese, but I got the gist. They had a bunch of listings, but I didn’t want to deal with international shipping. I only understood a few words but it was enough to know that they had it.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I found a listing that ticked all the boxes. It was the right price, the condition looked good, and the seller seemed legit. Boom! I pulled the trigger and ordered it. This one was specifically labeled as the animated series one.
Now I’m just waiting for it to arrive. I’m already picturing where I’m going to put it on my shelf. Maybe next to my other Batman figures? Or maybe I’ll start a whole new section just for Harley and her crew. Who knows! I still have to decide but I’m really excited to get it.
This whole Funko Pop collecting thing is kind of addictive, you know? It’s like a treasure hunt, and when you finally find that one figure you’ve been searching for, it’s such a rush. I can see myself getting really into this hobby. I don’t know if my wallet will like it but it sure makes me happy.
