I enlarged the pic below for a better look. Are we getting stick-on eyelashes a la Buffy PF??????? That'd be COOL!!!
She looks 12 or 13 years old with that head. Ewww.
I like the regular edition better than the Ex but I'm not getting either.

I work in a psychiatric unit in a large hospital, believe me mental illness and raging hormones are rarely seen together; in fact I have never actually seen it. And thank you God for that, because trust me we are not seeing the equivalent of Harley on the unit.... or even the Joker.
Not by a long shot.

That EX head is beyond ugly. My God.
A neck that's WAY too small, giant eyes, Elvira's makeup, and a micro-nose.

CBG m8, you ever get tired of being wrong
One of Harley's most popular outfits was good old nurse Harley from Batman Arkham Asylum
what?? When did this happen? Cool so she did have a eye mask! 
thanks bro!
I don't really know what to feel about this piece. I was really excited about it, but seeing this finished product, I'm a somewhat disappointed and partly concerned.
My concern is mainly the typical: Will the finished production piece by Sideshow be anywhere close to what we see here, on these photos? I'm seeing a potential nightmare in the makes, right here. The details of the Regular head (and the EX for that matter) seem very fine. I'm finding it very hard to believe that Sideshow will be able to deliver anything that comes near this paint application. I'm fearing for a flat and dull paint application on the production piece.
The Pose:
The pose is very nice. The awkward positioning of her legs contribute to the manifold personality of this character. Her childish, yet, kinky/wacky behaviour and expression. It looks very good, and it's good to see how they've managed to somewhat capture the look of the art by Stanley Lau.
The Face(s):
I prefer the Regular one. It has the iconic white make-up, and the mischievous sparkle in her eyes. The smile is almost scary in its exaggerated size, and it's almost uncomfortable. Very well executed. Once again, it's true to the artwork by Stanley Lau.
Her face is round, which adds to the childish look of her, and makes her look very iconic with her white make-up.
I don't particularly like the EX head. I love the idea of her pointing her tongue, but why is she looking angry? She should look wacky or crazy. Instead, she looks like she just walked into a smelly bathroom and still, she is sticking her tongue out? I find these to be two contradicting expressions, and it doesn't work very well, and it de-values the EX for me. They should've maintained the wacky/smiling look. They could have kept her mask on, as well, for the EX.
It's not possible to see the hair on the front of her head, which makes me concerned about how it looks around the seams. Obviously, it is two pieces put together, but how well is it executed? I have seen examples of the forehead hair-section being attached in a very basic and not very convincing way. Oh well, the paint application looks very nice, though. Again, this raises a challenge for the production department.
The Outfit:
This is a traditional Premium Format look, with mixed media. Honestly, I was hoping for a fully sculpted piece. Why? Because a full body-suit made of fabrics can look very awkward if not executed 100% correctly. We've seen numerous times in the past. Just off the top of my head is the Baroness, which, in my opinion looked rather awful. On the other hand, countless of fully sculpted female characters have looked extremely nice. For some reason, sculptors often excel at making wonderful female bodies. I guess this is because most sculptors are a bunch of male nerds like the rest of us (sorry, girls, but we do make up the majority here). Off the top of my head: Rogue PF, Spider-woman PF.
It's always exciting with a fabric outfit, but it is also very difficult, and it can be dirtied, worn down etc. There are many downsides to this, but for me, the tight fit is at risk, and that concerns me with this piece particularly.
Still, it looks perfect on the pictures. If they manage to pull this off, then it will hands-down be an extremely impressive feat.
So, basically, I have decided to skip this girl. I had planned to get her. I love the character, but this piece didn't drop my jaw to the ground as I had hoped it would. I'm going to wait for the Catwoman PF. I hope Sideshow manages to blow me away with that one. I might get this one down the road, but I doubt it right now.

Quit spoiling the mood. This statue will be awesome.

I will be getting the Reg. now if they would have done the EX portrait with a Sexy Come Hither look, maybe, but to walk in the display room after a long day and have pre-puberty Harley sticking her tongue out at me, I might just take it the wrong way and no more Harley

I have spent more time looking at the pictures...I'm still not feeling it for this one. It's a shame because I was looking forward to this.

Hmmmm...
Unmasked portrait looks too young and masked portrait looks too small.
Still getting it though.

The more I see the portraits the more I like them! Great job SS! Do not change anything or we will get a backlash! What we see on PO day is what we want! The ex head is scary and cool looking, the reg ead screams Harleys evil smile, and the nipples is a bonus next step up from marvel. Well done SS!

I am really not seeing the small head complaint.
