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

[aragen]

Well mine was turned over to USPS early Friday by the shipping partner (DHL eCommerce) in Stow but USPS still hasn't updated anything so I wouldn't assume anything just yet.

Well ****. XD

Just received mine and opened it up, and... I suppose it doesn't look that terrible. The sculpt has definitely been softened but it still works and captures the character, and in hand it doesn't even seem that overly pink (the hands though definitely are). And aside from some inaccuracies the outfit is pretty nice as well.

Eager to see some pictures before you work on him.

Here's a few shots of the figure on one of Coco's bases.

Looks good to me already. Feel like I will only need to do the minimum painting the more photos we are seeing

This figure is such a roller coaster. One minute it looks like crap and then someone posts it looking good, but then someone points out a flaw that makes it worse than before. I will say the above pictures by @davejames do make it look quite good. Still waiting on mine to arrive.

Great work, dave! Pose is nice as always, also good job on the hair. Did you even out the face paint? Anything else?

Nah I haven't done any modding yet. I'm sure I'll touch up the paint and redo the hair at some point though. And I'm tempted to make him a longer and bulkier coat as well, as I really love that look in the movie. But not sure if I'd be able to find the right fabrics for it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well your pose and photography really make the figure look a lot better. A lot!

Looks really good there, I'm noticing the paint is varying especially in the eye area. Some seem light, some non existent and others alot darker.

However yours looks pretty solid, great pictures and posing thanks for sharing.

Did you repaint the head or is that stock. It look good.

See three posts up from your question.

Damn, I can’t believe it’s possible to make him look this good without excessive work! First in-hand pics truly are a plague on this hobby.

I think that's mostly from people taking pics in super bright, washed out lighting, which makes pretty much every figure look like a cheap doll. If you just dial down the brightness on your phone you'll be able to see a lot more detail and get something closer to the proto pics.

Great pics coming recently. Making me excited! A bit annoyed that my tracking for this and IA GtG hasn't updated since the 6th. Ugh.

It is The One... the Pengu-One!

My Ponguon has arrived... but the wife is home so I may not be able to open it until tomorrow.

 

[Tabs3121]

Some of these penguin figures look great. Others look like crap. Guess I'll have to wait to get mine in hand.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I really want to know if I have a Crapuon or a Gooduon.

 

[TheBatman]

You have a Wor-Guon

Managed a cursory look. My low expectations were warmly surprised. Not a bad little figure. It was a lot of fun opening that Burton-esque black-and-white box.

Only 'oops' so far is I noticed a strange X mark on his right relaxed flipper glove -- on the fatty meat between thumb and finger. Is this a unique mark for me or is this a factory thing? Anyone else have it?
