Eternal - 1/6 Gentleman of Crime (Batman Returns Penguin)

[davejames]

So, is the general consensus that this figure is pretty good, or is there overwhelming revolt and disappointment? I have one on pre-order, but considering cancelling since mine will probably be a while to get in stock to ship.

I mean, there's like 10 pages before this of us trashing the final product, so...

STILL no in hand pictures...? Wow...

Mine's flying in to LAX as we speak.


This one goes into the "advanced futzing" pile along with Mad Max and Wez... I have so much to do.

STILL no in hand pictures...? Wow...

This is really one of those photos don't do it justice figures.

That is why everyone is holding back. Out of respect for Eternal so that their product isn't unfairly bashed.

 

[davejames]

Yup I'm sure it will be much worse in hand.

How is that possible - Penguins can’t fly

True, but most of that was from visuals online, i.e. pics, video. Sometimes figure are decent in hand, or they can be futzed etc. I just wanted to know if someone had it in hand to judge it more carefully.

Thanks anyways, though?

 

[pug205]

We are still waiting to get it in hand so we can start assessing it better.

I'd say we will start having it from early next week

Short video, but it doesn’t look as bad as previous pics etc.
Still needs work here and there, but I like it:

Didn't know mine joker played guitar

I feel like the blue light is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here in terms of improving the likeness by washing out the pink colour in the face and replacing it with a white/grey almost blue tinge that matches Penguin's screen appearance.
Would be good to see more natural light pics.

After taking a quick look at it mine will likely go back in the box until my HT 89 Keaton Batman arrives. Because I'm pretty sure I'll want to pose this figure behind Batman in my display lol...

 

[bmendez]

Welp, paid the invoice on this. May end up as a back shelf figure.

Really looks quite good there tbh

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, fits in quite nicely... and someone futzed that hat quite well too.

 

[Hologram AI]

Saw someone on FB get the figure in-hand. Posted close up sculpt shots. Pretty much looks like what we initially saw with Breda's photos.

 

[bmendez]

Oof! Yup, going straight to the back shelf.

 

[TheBatman]

That looks awful...

 

[Godfather1408]

I wonder if @Kit Chen could possibly make a head with someone like they did with Doc?

But dam talk about bait and switch that sculot has zero of the details and even has moulding rubber marks.

 

[Gipetto0812]

yup, still glad I cancelled

 

[lordnastrond]

Yeah - as I suspected it was the blue light helping in that other video, its every bit as awful as it looks in Breda's video/pics
