Early Harley Quinn Textures

Early in development, Harley Quinn had a substantially different model. The model was ditched, however, most likely in favor of a model and texture set that more accurately reflected her 2008 minifigure, which was used in the final game. The textures other than the main body texture was the same, the other textures stayed across the board. Oddly enough, an image of the early Harley Quinn model is shown in the game's manual on various consoles and in various prerelease shots featuring the old model. The textures used for the early model are located in GAME.DAT/Chars/harleyquinn/harleyquinn_pc.ghg. However, the main body texture was corrupted during the transition, possibly by accident.
