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

[Asta]

I put some double sided tape inside the hat, leaving the glossy white surface facing outwards to protect the sculpt from potential staining.

I took some new photos, but forgot to squish the hat back into the shape I originally had it.

I think I'm done futzing now.

Ideally, if you want movie accuracy, his hair should be cut shorter.

 

[TheBatman]

I guess they put the length towards the hair rather than the coat

So just opened mine and I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised at how good this is in hand.

Hat looks great here with a little work.


Nice to finally see these two together. I used to have resin and vinyl model kits in the mid 90's -- that's the last time my shelf had Penguin and Joker together.

Ecco alcuni scatti della figura su una delle basi di Coco.

I was going to get one of the Ebay hats before he arrived, but held off to see whether the Eternal one could be made to work since I knew that it was at least scaled to his head.

Pinching the hat at the sides just above the band pulls it into a uniform shape, and gives it a slightly tapered look so that it's wider at the top. It wouldn't be good enough to go with the mayor costume, but I think it's just right for a grubby sewer Penguin.

Coco is a member and he makes bases for figures.

Receiving the penguin and retouching the face and hair obligatory lol now we'll have to find a decent hat because the one provided is disgusting.

Same, so I'm glad to see its workable.

Is there a seam line on the hat in back? Think it would be possible to tighten the material around the inner cylinder?

Yes, there's a very noticeable seam on the back.

You might be able to pull the material tighter if it could be separated from the crown.

Where are people finding those awesome replacement hats?

Also, are people just adding paint around the eyes, or are they repainting the irises as well?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, there's a very noticeable seam on the back.

I think a little surgery may be in my future. If the cylinder inside has the right reverse taper shape, pulling the material tight might solve the 'baggy' issue permanently.

Wow, people really seem to be going crazy for this figure all of a sudden.

That's what I'm going to try, when I have time. Just need to see how they have the fabric stitched down, to the bottom of the stove pipe portion.

It's like Wez all over again. Just more people grew up with Penguin so the nostalgia is forgiving.

Great to see another figure proving what most of us have been saying for the last two weeks - with a slight wash you will see the details better and really bring out the Keaton sculpt. That one is probably the best Beetlejuice figures I have seen.

My figure arrived today.

I’ve got to echo what others have said: this figure looks MUCH better in-hand. Those first few online pics were awful and didn’t do it justice.

I took a few photos of the figure right out of the box. No touch-ups or photoshop, just a background and a bit of lighting, and I think it looks fantastic.

However, sadly on my figure there is a very noticeable paint flaw on the face that has overall made this a disappointment for me. I can’t unsee it at all now and it’s kinda ruined the figure for me. Some of the surface paint on the silicone headsculpt seems to have chipped or rubbed off or something.

It’s not really noticeable in the photos with the lighting, but in person, it really stands out.

I’m gutted, as this would’ve been an excellent figure otherwise.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Outstanding photos... so sorry about the paint chip. Hopefully your retailer will take care of you.
