Mars Toys 1/6 Penguin (Burgess Meredith)

Unfortunately, everything is ”soon”, except for delivery.

I really want this, but also really want the other half dozen or so figures I already have on order with them. I’m finally at the point where I’ve got mixed feelings about giving them any more money until they really start delivering.

I'll keep throwing money at them for 66 stuff, even if the wait times become longer. The thought of having the four main rogues along with the caped crusaders is overriding any logic in my brain...

This felt inevitable when they started taking on so many lines. They clearly have access to a very good sculptor but nowhere near the resources of the licensed companies.

Still, I don't mind waiting if in the end we get great figures. They could have released the Keaton Bruce Wayne months ago but weren't happy with the first production prototype and redid it. I'd rather that than get an iffy likeness sooner.

It's not just the figures.

I've also been waiting on the Joker surfboard diorama that was due Q1. I mean, how hard is it to mix colored resin?

I heard there may have been some industrial espionage and possible contamination at the plant?

I see Johnny Depp’s Wonka head in the upper left background with the top hat

Mars Penguin has the two best sculpts yet! GREAT work!!!


But there's that word... "soon"... that scares me. 'Soon' like Two-Face?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'd forgotten that a year ago we had seen this sculpt on Nov 22... looks better unpainted.

I don't believe it's the same headsculpt.

I don't believe it's the same headsculpt.

The angle is different enough that I'm not sure if it is or not. I'm getting it regardless

Hi

 

[BACON!]

What kind of accessories did Pengy use in the movie? That will most likely what he will come with. looking good so far

Both Joker and Riddler got some non-Movie, episode specific props, so I wouldn't rule that out for Penguin.

These miniatures are fantastic, to bad Joker lost his head...

As far as the movie; he had the spinning knockout-smoke Umbrella
and Flying Rocket umbrellas.
And of course the whole Penguin themed Submarine with flippers
Though too big, I wouldn't mind getting a small model of the Sub. he could hold in his hand for reference.

LOL the periscope

In the movie Penguin also used the dehydrator-gun on his own goons (yet already came with Joker, don't need another)

like the others he had is own mask...

As far as alt. looks like Pagliacci Joker or Mobster Riddler, in the movie he had the whole Commodore persona, though I doubt we'll get that?

I hope for Penguin they will pull props more from the actual episodes. (already some fun ideas bellow )

Besides the obvious cigarette holder,
Possible accessories;

If they can pull-off an opening umbrella at this scale, would be great!

Trigger detail on the handle, to invoke all the gadgets:

(similar to HotTotys Mando whistling-birds or flame attachment effect) .
Flame, sparks, and a couple of different color smoke attachments:

Include a nasty jar of sardines ....

a mechanical/stuffed penguin...

I think he had a weird hypnosis Penguin noise maker gadget too.

The giant Penguin for Mayor buttons, and a few Posters
the boxing glove attachment was preposterous, but he was lethal with it

If including something for him to steal?
The "Priceless Folio of Famous Parasols" might be the most significant.

All or some could make for some fun accessories.

 

[lordnastrond]

Looks really good so far!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sardines bucket and his Squeaky Penguin toy.

What he really needs is a lot of cigarette smoke clouding around his head.

 

[greatlakes6]

Looks really good.

 

[MarkKing]

Any hope of a civilian Adam Wests Bruce Wayne and Burt Ward's Dick Grayson?

 

[Mondragon]

They could go all out and make the infamous Penguin "Box" and Gigantic Reversing Bellows...?

Wait, what the heck did I just watch!?

 

[MarkKing]

Looks really good.

Just amazing work. We need a un hatted head sculpt

 

[Wor-Gar]

We need a un hatted head sculpt

Why, when was he ever unhatted?

Why, when was he ever unhatted?

I THINK when he' in disguise if I remember. Am I misremembering?
