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

[Wor-Gar]

2 skus. One mayor and one sewer penguin. Each figure two heads

I'm getting both, so no worries, but I am curious have you decided which heads will go with which Penguin?

Clearly, #3 "gory" head will be on Sewer Penguin, and I'm guessing #4 "sinister grin" is for the Mayor... but what about the other 2?

My guess: #1 and #4 Mayor, #2 and #3 Sewer...?

 

[Chopper Face]

They do all look great.

The only one... OK, here I go... the only one that needs one more once-over is the 2nd "screaming" face. I feel like maybe his mouth isn't open quite enough or something?

Love the neutral, sinister grin, and the gory frown faces!

Im with you here; not entirely sure what expression 2 is going for.
Just looks like he’s mid speech.

An overtly frustrated rage scream would make more sense to me.

 

[WolfBoy]

#2 is meant to be speaking angrily, which he does a lot.

 

[davejames]

The only one that isn't really grabbing me is #1. If we were to have a more neutral expression I would have expected something more like this.

 

[BoricuaHec01]

I’m already capped with figures so can only get one and that will be the sewer version. Need the oozing mouth and onesie look for sure! Besides, I already have the mayor version on my arm lol.

 

[JazzInc]

Alright, here are the four headsculpts for the Penguin broken down. There will be a Mayor version and a Sewer version. The Basic Headsculpt will be included in both Basic and DX version. This is the most neutral and usable so no paywall to get that. Then the DX versions for Mayor and Sewer will have the respective extra headsculpt as well (as well as more accessories). Then of course the Two pack will get you everything.

So no smiling sewer Penguin unless you buy 2 figures?

 

[Chopper Face]

Ok, these all look awesome in context.
I knew once they weren’t all giving the HT classic dead-ahead thousand yard stare they’d come to life.

I feel inclined to use the Sewer basic head on the Mayor figure.
I want that one looking sleazy and sinister- as all politicians are- which isn’t an option with the stock Mayor heads.

Great work all ‘round though. @sdabbs is killing it lately.

So no smiling sewer Penguin unless you buy 2 figures?

Gotta incentivise buying that double pack somehow!

 

[BoricuaHec01]

Is there going to be a price difference between the DX Mayor and DX Sewer? Assuming since the Mayor look has more material on the outfit, etc.

 

[davejames]

Dangit I'm totally going to have to get the 2 pack aren't I.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's Penguin. We've wanted this for years... decades... it's time to splurge.

Great work, Joost and Sean!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I feel inclined to use the Sewer basic head on the Mayor figure.

I think I might use the extra Mayor head for the Sewer Penguin -- looks like he's ranting "I am a Penguin!"

I love the choices!

 

[JazzInc]

Is there going to be a price difference between the DX Mayor and DX Sewer? Assuming since the Mayor look has more material on the outfit, etc.

Yes, because of the suit and maybe even accessories

 

[WolfBoy]

The sculpts look great. Sean does fantastic work.

 

[BoricuaHec01]

Now I’m curious if the umbrella set is going to be for the sewer version or both? Obviously it’ll be for the DX’s only.

 

[Stanlore]

Personally, i like the basic sewer sculpt the most.

But I want the mayor outfit more.

Correct for now

Probably will just get one of the basics as I was never a big fan of the character anyway. Please be price competitive so I can pull the trigger!

We always try. Unlike and of our competitors we put over 70% of what you pay back into the product and it is always more limited edition. Even our regular pieces are more limited than Hot Toys artisan series. Our gross margins are lower than an average comic book store, and that is for everything from development, to production, delivery, sales and after sales service

I've been curious how Jazzinc positions itself in the 1/6 scale figure space vs the competition (Hot Toys and Inart). I've been an avid follower since discovering your amazing products a few months ago. The transparency and genuineness of Joost is refreshing, overall positive and has made me supportive to see you have long-term success because more players is better for us customers.

I did DOPO the BD DX Catwoman. Completely fine with the purchase, but in hindsight it was quite expensive at $500. Today, we're seeing a lot more (artisan) figures at these prices but the difference is they have the benefit of a track record. (I'm optimistic on the Catwoman though). The way I see it, I believe Inart is the better figure maker between them and Hot Toys. Inart is the premium brand, Hot Toys is good but inconsistent with quality and pricing. Jazzinc looks to want to be on the same level as Inart based on your first official figure? Not trying to challenge anything but just asking as a supporter wanting to learn more about your company.
