Mars Toys 1/6 Alfred Pennyworth (Batman '66)

[Wor-Gar]

A sculpt with a smirk/smile would have been suiting.

Definitely would have been a better choice, though not as much a smile as the pic above.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Green apron it is then. And, yeah, not the best sculpt. A little too serious but useable.

 

[Wor-Gar]

If he's answering the Bat-phone, it works well enough.

Despite the fact that the brilliant police, who always recognize the villain's voices when then leave recordings, never seem to recognize Alfred's voice as the butler for Bruce Wayne as well.

@Wor-Gar did you check the movie for Alfred in a tuxedo?
Mars has proven incredibly slavish to the movie in the accessories.

 

[Captain Clown]

Dang, I’m really liking this figure. Might want to keep the whole set rather than just the phone & bust.

I wonder if there’d be a good way to swap out the lenses in his glasses to make his eyes smaller?

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, I don't have the movie, but that's probably a good call. The tux must be from the movie.

 

[Captain Clown]

This is the only screengrab I could find of him in a tuxedo. No clue what episode it’s from though.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, I found the movie in parts online and scanned it fast -- Alfred's barely in The Movie but no tux. He does wear his signature suit though.

Captain, I found this B/W of the same scene probably:

I'm 100% sure most people will dress him in the green apron OR the black suit over the tux he comes in.

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah. The tux is not iconic to Alfred 66. I’ll be using the apron too.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Having now TWO "green" figures -- the two Riddlers -- I would be less inclined to dress Alfred in more green, despite that being the best look.

Hopefully, Penguin is coming soon to help break up the green.

However, if Alfred is going on a shelf with only Batman and Robin, then the green will look quite nice.



Has Mars indicated what Bat-figure is coming next? I'm assuming Penguin, since we've seen it basically complete, but you never know what may come out of the blue with them. I'd still like to see Preminger Freeze most after Penguin.

 

[TonyD15]

Why do I need two of these...

Gotta find more things to fill of the eventual '68 Display

 

[Asta]

You know, I'm having a hard time finding a photo of Alfred in the full tuxedo. Most photos have him in the suit and tie, and there's plenty in the green apron as well.

He wore it in the first episode of the first series:

Earlier in the episode he answered the Batphone in his everyday suit, but I think this more formal version is reserved for evening wear.

 

[Wor-Gar]

And he never wore it again...?

He wore it in the first episode of the first series:

I have that one saved, I'll have to check it out right now.

 

[Asta]

And he never wore it again...?

He wore it again at the end of the next episode, which was also set during evening:

I'll have to scan through all the episodes, but it is strange that Mars opted to dress him in this rather than his much more regular suit.

S01E04, at a party at Wayne Manor:

 

[Wor-Gar]

Clearly his evening wear, you're right. Funny, I have no recollection of this outfit at all. Just the plain black suit.

The plain black suit is the outfit he wears in his very first shot in the very first episode. I just scanned thru it too.

Another evening party at Wayne Manor in the final episode of season 1 (S01E34):

So four times in the first 34 episodes.

 

[Wor-Gar]

great research!

He's carrying that red punch in that outfit too -- is that what comes with Mars? Where's the ice cream?

In the episode they're punch glasses with handles:

The Mars glasses don't have handles:

The ice cream is from the first Mr freeze episode.
