JazzInc - 1/6 scale Danny DeVito Penguin figure (Batman Returns)

[professorratigan]

Yeah, I'm not loving the majority of the expressions here :/

DeVito's Penguin is one of the most emotive villains--I would say his face is THE most expressive of the 90s villains.

When I think of the Returns Penguin, the following are probably the most iconic "images" that spring to mind (FOR ME).

His poster image, obviously:

"Rats with wings, do your thing!"

"Tragic irony, or poetic justice?"

"My nose could be gushing blood!"

"BATMAN?! ARGGHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"MY BABIES!!!!!"

I like #5 best for Mayor. #2 and #4 look the same to me.

Personally, I think one head should have a fiendish grin to show off those teeth, and then a 2nd head to be angry or grim -- maybe the "you don't think you'll win, do you?" expression for instance.

Joost also attached a video of a pop-out blade mechanism for one of the umbrellas

I need to see this video. That would be insane -- a working blade. I don't see how its possible. I think that may go the way of the real metal fingernails on Catwoman, but I love the effort.

Apparently the claws won’t be metal but plastic now.

Yeah, that's why I said I think the working umbrella knife would go the way of the metal claws. Meaning, not happen.

I'm kinda shocked so many folks are clamoring for the Duckmobile lol. I think I could live without it tho. It was a funny scene in the film for sure but I'm not convinced a gigantic 1/6 scale yellow duck on wheels is the centerpiece I'm looking for in my display room.

This is exactly what I was thinking almost word for word

I agree.

We heard you and are working on a few new expressions

As much as a gag as it would be, I would rather a dio duck mobile than a full on.

Hey JazzInc, have you made any plans for a single or 2pk of this as well??

Yes we will make a sewer version and a major version. So the two pack will be both. And the basic will have one headsculpt and the DX version of both will have several headsculpts and more accessories

You're spoiling us at this point, hope the preorders for this and catwoman exceed so you can throw in all that stuff I know you "secretly" want to.

If you get a chance post some film screenshots of the 'iconic' expressions. I'm sure it will help Jazzinc and other will be interested to see.

Captian Clown already covered two very nice ones in his post. I'd add an overly confident Mayoral public figure expression (slight warm yet sinister smirk), and a sad expression, which could work for the funeral scene and double for when he's about to die.

Here's a lot of screenshots that show his range and which expressions he uses most. From curious, to sad, to sinister, to pompous, to overjoyed. You'd be surprised how often he looks worried in the film.

I really like these

And no wonder parents were so outraged when this movie came out.
This is one horrifyingly grotesque SOB

Man.....I've got Aliens, Predators, Brundle Fly and The Thing monsters in my collection.....and I think DeVito's Penguin might just be too disturbing and freaky for me.

Those monsters have no humanity to them (well, depends on what stage of Brundle Fly). Unlike this Penguin.

I wouldn't want any iteration other than a sinister glare in his full mayoral regalia, but I doubt I'd get one regardless.
