Catwoman (Pfeiffer) - in production
Penguin (DeVito) - prototyping
Animated Series Batman - prototyping
Catwoman (Julie Newmar) - Design Phase
Mr. Freeze (Arnold) - Approved by Schwarzenegger
Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz) - Talent Approval Phase
Vicky Vale (Kim Basinger) - Talent Approval Phase
Poison Ivy (Thurman) - Talent Approval Phase

The later pieces might be moved around timing wise
Just wondering with the mention of Kravitz's Catwoman would she scale best with the Hot Toys or InArt Batman? Or are you planning to do your own The Batman as well?

I expect that a Jazzinc Kravitz Catwoman will be _precisely_ 1/6 scale.

Whether the Hot Toys or Inart Batman “scales” correctly to true 1/6 scale is something best addressed to Hot Toys and Inart.

This would be my approach.

TRUE 1/6 SCALE!

Show these other companies what scale actually means.

Kravitz will look close enough paired with either brand but we may as well get at least one character from that movie that’s precise.
 
@JazzInc Hey Joost, just curious but this’ll have movable eyes right? Is that something we’ll see at some point in the prototype stage, or after production?

Looking great so far. :clap

yes it will definitely have moveable eyes. We cannot do that in the prototype, so like the catwoman, you will see it in production
 
Update on the penguin. Here is the onesie with the V4 fatsuit we made. and the robe (not the same as the sewer overcoat) together with Bleau from Geewhiz Customs. No weathering done on anything yet. Viola also finished one of the 4 sculpts, painted and haired.

Looking great so far.

But Joost, you said that's not the sewer coat... but isn't it? The one you posted is the same one he wears at the graveyard and when he "crashes the party". Did you mean it's not the robe he wears with the fish pattern?

I realize its a WIP, but my only comment about the coat is it should drag on the ground in the back more (I rebuilt my Eternal Penguin's coat to better match the movie with added pocket fur and length)

It is the same as the party scene but we were calling it the sewer overcoat but he also has a robe

Do you have more references or pattern or anything? I need a clearer reference because its hard to tell where that long tail comes from and how it relates to the front panels of the coat. Does it curve all the way to the back? Or does it turn a right angle? P

I mostly scanned through the movie and found a few key photos that helped me envision what I think is going on.

Here's the key reference photos I found that shows how the coat drapes in front, has the little "cape" on back (which might actually be a higher cape and lower cape, if you look real close), and has a longer section that drags behind (graveyard shot). You've probably seen these all...

Penguin may be half seated on the dolly in the above pic, hence the bunching at the feet.

The above picture shows a higher rise in front with a right angle cut (also, you can see what looks like two different levels of capes on back). However, I'm not sure if this Stan Winston coat is the final coat in the movie. Some more...

Am I alone in feeling a little sad that I'll be boxing up my "old" Eternal Toys Penguin for this?

It was such a fun figure to rework and improve. Really enjoyed that one. Still do, actually.

You could get the mayor JazzInc figure, then use the spare head on your Eternal Toys version to display both looks.

I think you can have all THREE! JazzInc Mayor... JazzInc "onesie" Sewer Penguin... and finally dress the Eternal in JazzInc's sewer coat + one of his extra heads for the Sewer King look.

Not sure if Joost will do the sewer robe as well... then you need 4 Penguins! :panic:
