Mars Toys 1/6 Penguin (Burgess Meredith)

[DEATHASYLUM]

About time

 

[McHaleyArt]

Mars’ ‘66 Riddler two-pack is loaded with accessories for $264.

Granted there’s no custom seamless body, movable eyes, rooted hair, or licensing costs, and three heads instead of 6, fairly simple costuming & construction, but still, it’s a crazy value. This set is going to be insane.

Fingers crossed the surprise in-stock Penguin allotment materializes soon.

I know it was said that Alfred would be an in-stock order, but I did not get the impression that Penguin would. I think it’ll just go up for pre-order.

That was a plan for him, and since Alfred is going to bypass pre-order and go straight to stock it seems likely Penguin will as well.

I guess we’ll know soon enough.

I can’t even remember if I pre-ordered Riddler. Been so long, I forgot.

Riddler looks to habe the same terrible ankle system. I hope they realize that they need to switch this to a standard peg everyone is using. You don’t have to create something new if it is working.

It's time! Stock that Penguin...!

 

[Sarge]

Any word? I'm ready to buy after getting Riddler on the shelf

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's supposed to be in stock this month, right?

I don’t know why people think this. Mars said it would be released “at the perfect time,” which I took to mean when it was “perfect” enough to be ready. Alfred was the only 66 figure that was obviously stated as soon to be released.

Oh, you're right, I'm thinking of their TLJ Two-Face that they said would be Jan-Feb.

Penguin is still a mystery. Their ubiquitous "soon"...

I won't release until I'm satisfied.

Maybe they solved the main issue?

So now they're back to improving the sculpt because people keep knocking it on Facebook.

 

[aragen]

As long as they don't pull a Duke Nukem Forever and let perfectionism ruin the fun.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Got to say, that render is looking fantastic!

I hope they keep the one showing teeth as well. I do prefer him baring teeth and looking more sinister than proud.

 

[Captain Clown]

This thing will never release.

I don’t understand what Mars chooses to hyperfixate on. They’ll revise Penguin for years upon years, send their Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face and Wonka back to the drawing board to slightly adjust their hair, but didn’t tweak their wonky un-hatted Carrey Riddler likeness, arguably ruined their Colin Farrell Penguin with the resculpt, and “biffed” Biff.

Yeah, the render looks great, sadly that’s all it is - a render. None of us will have this in-hand until at least 2028, I’m sure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I was happy with the previously shown sculpts, honestly. It was just the hat that was painted the wrong color. But, like Carrey's mask, I could live with it (or repaint it myself).

I hope the delay is worth it. Thing is, we don't even have a PO yet... so this is definitely a year away... UNLESS Mars is planning to do the "order when in stock" thing like they did Alfred.

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah. The sculpt they showed a few months back was great imo.
