Yeah, we'll see if Mars ever does it lol I have a lot of faith in them after all the great things they've managed to get in our hands, but I'm also over here waiting on my Gorshin Riddler, TLJ Two-Face and the Meredith Penguin (that hasn't even gone up for pre-order yet!), not to mention all the other "teases" ('66 Alfred, '66 Mad Hatter, '66 Batgirl, Bob the Goon, Vicki Vale, DeVito Penguin, Sequined Forever Riddler, Val Kilmer Bruce Wayne... Did I miss any? Lmao)
I see we're finally getting this one and the Breaking Bad figure that people have been waiting on for a while. If they do the grinning sculpt MAYBE I would bite. It's a little more "unique" and less "generic heavy-set man in a suit." The show has been making him more relevant for my collection for sure. Still not my favorite interpretation, but if this is what it takes to FINALLY get some respect on Penguin's name, all the better. He's my second favorite Batman character (after Harvey Dent), and I actually don't think there's ever been a bad adaptation of The Penguin. For all the talk about, "Joker is the most versatile Batman villain! Joker can be thrown into any media!" We've seen some truly appalling renditions, and they've only been getting more schlocky and far-removed from the "Clown Prince of Crime" since Ledger. Penguin, though? I think he IS the most adaptable Batman villain. From Burgess Meredith, to the Scooby Doo cartoons, to Danny DeVito, BTAS, The Batman 2005 series, the Arkham & Telltale games, the Gotham TV series, the new, grittier Tony Soprano take... I think the only miss has been the new Caped Crusader show, and even that wasn't AWFUL, just unneccesarily "different." Oswald is definitively adaptable.

Looks GREAT! I wish he'd take pics of the striped suit without that overcoat.
But plaid suit OR striped suit...?
Some folks like the crotch shots
Hey -- my eyes are up here! Jeez...
I like the striped suit with leather overcoat... because he looks like Toht!

Man, I'm super tempted to get onto the the pink tie one but I feel like this is going to get a better figure in the near future. The show's got so many iconic accessories already, plus I don't think this has the ankle brace. The likeness is decent, but that smiling render or something more expressive is what I really want.
I cannot deny, the temptation to have a figure from the show on the shelf while the show is still running is harder to resist than anything else.

Yeah, need the ankle brace now. Maybe he'll get a more "Penguin-y" look as the show progresses to its finale.
I'm still in for a plaid jacket though. Just to have something from the original film.
But as this stands, nice as these two figures are, I'll be passing on both.

He didn't have the brace in the movie? I don't remember his walk being as exaggerated in the movie but I need to rewatch.
Seen the first two episodes and it's already my favourite Bat villain portrayal after Ledger's Joker. I enjoyed the movie but this series is on a whole other level.
Only nit pick is Batman's complete absence. Wasn't expecting him to actually appear but a few references, newspapers, bat signal in the background making Penguin and his crew a bit jumpy would have been nice.

He likely did... but my point is its not on the figure.

Idk. The sculpt on this thing just ain't doing it for me. I'm surprised so many people are OK with it tbh.

Yeah, I know. But I've seen third party sculpts turn out to be bangers to. This is definitely not one of them imo.
I'm sure the body is fine and the tailoring looks acceptable for the price but it's gonna need a new head sculpt for sure.

3rd party or not doesnt excuse the fact the likeness is **** and they're throwing in a proper/better sculpt to be purchased separately

The sculpt looks fantastic, and so does the likeness. They are doing another sculpt because of all the people wanting a smiling Penguin

nothing about the likeness reminds me of the penguin, especially in the eyes/upper face. that is no colin farrell to me. looks more like an asian mob boss than the penguin
