Roxy was made using joints from Harley Quinn. The head was sculpted from scratch. I did this because:

a) it's easier and faster to do than shave off the mask and sand out the rough edges;

b) I wanted to give Roxy a slightly different face. If you look at the pictures on the Bat-Sup page, Roxy's face is more square with less concavities than Harley's. I also wanted to give her less of a smile and more of a mischievious grin (like the scene where she looks as Bats before they crash into the cliff).

c) I wanted to fix head tilt problem of Harley.

The hair was made using Flex clay which allows it to bend a little and thus preserving the articulation at the neck. The goggle is removable. To make the goggle, I wrapped a layer of Parafilm around Roxy's Face. I then sculpted the goggle using magic sculpt. After it cured, I removed the Parafilm/goggle and made a push mold using Premo ... yeah not the best mold material but I wasn't about to mix up RTV or silicon just to make a mold that size. The cast was made using Smooth-on Clear Cast. I used transparent color dyes to tint the goggles. I casted a few goggles ranging from dark to light blue (below) before settling on the blue/green .... the scan bleed out the blue and makes it more green than it actually is.

The torso, jacket, and arms were all made from premo over an endoskeleton made from epoxy. The shoulder joints came from Harley. I also gave her articulated wrists so when I get around to making that rocket, she'll be able to hold on properly. Initially, I wasn't sure what to do with the belt. I didn't want to merely paint it and rubber bands were out of the question as they degrade over time. I couldn't sculpt it either since the hip joints are very close and tight and moving her legs into a sitting position would scrap off any paint if not the entire sculpted belt itself. I finally settled on using a vinyl strip. It's flexible and can stretch as she bends her legs. The circular pieces on her belt were glued on plastic. I cut out Harley's legs right below the hip joint and sculpted new legs using premo. The knee joint came from a RC plane hinge (Robart steel pin Hinge Point #307 .... se s the picture below). You'll need to use a hammer and pound on the metal rivit to stiffen the joint. I chose this joint system because BTAS female knees are only 4mm wide (based on Bruce Timm scale and proportions). There was no way I could custom make a joint that small and have it durable enough to withstand repeat use.
