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

[Wor-Gar]

Can I confirm? Well, I don't truly know... I'm just making an educated guess... but what you've drawn seems to be more correct from the few photos I've seen and the way it looks in the graveyard scene. Maybe not quite so long, as the first photo I posted looks to be pulling the entire coat back some. And I don't think you should lower the front so its dragging -- it seems to just touch the ground so when he's walking he doesn't trip over it -- but there's more material flowing in the back end.

I see now on your cape how it can fold over at the shoulder and appear as two levels ("a shorter and longer cape") -- the way you have it makes much more sense.

Oh Joost, just found this photo I had that shows the length very well relative to the boot toes in front...

(you need to black out your background to see it more clearly)

I also got these from the film (sorry, I had subtitles on!).

 

[JazzInc]

thanks! the thing is, WB has no reference, so your educated guess is as good as mine, we will go with that

Will the Unionsuit be holey and dirty?
And speaking of the Unionsuit: it has proportionally very short sleeves...it seems that they only reach the elbow.

Yes it will be holey and dirty. No it did not have short sleeves

I hate that it’s slowly becoming clearer and clearer that I’ll need the double pack.

 

[Chopper Face]

It was always crystal clear that the double pack is the only choice I was ever going to make!

I have those too, but I had concerns that it was not genuine -- meaning, maybe the WB prop house built that for shows and exhibitions. Not sure, it just looks a little off. Maybe its because its on the wrong body type.

Happy to help, anytime!

@JazzInc Some 4K Bluray screencaps if they help.

That first one is really good of the back -- shows the stitching of the "cape" things that hang (don't know the proper name). Looks like that wardrobe picture that Dave posted may be accurate now after all.

Also good ones of the split drape that drags behind.

 

[SimonAT]

Yeah, I think the thing to keep in mind with this coat is that it's a 4" man wearing the coat of a 5'10" man, so there's gonna be a lot of drag at the bottom.

It's not until he gets his tailored mayoral suit that Pengy has a coat the suitable length for him.

Rain guard, yoke, storm shield.

Think that's just 'tails' but could be wrong.
