Mars Toys 1/6 Penguin (Burgess Meredith)

[GhostBeard]

I keep checking back here for news. After getting robbed by Big Thief Studios I will NEVER lay down cash on a pre-order I'm not 100% sure is happening. Once this actually goes into production for sale it is an absolute definite purchase, especially after their magnificent Joker '66, but only then. Looking less likely I take it. (?)

We need the “United Underworld” finished.

Unrelated, but last night I finally got my wife to watch the 1st episode of The Penguin (and she loved it). Halfway through she sighs, turns to me and says, "So how long before we own a Hot Toys version of this?"

The first episode was surprisingly enjoyable, Never thought I would sympathize for Penguin, sort of like Sopranos.

i had low expectations going in. Hopefully the rest of the season is just as good.

 

[BACON!]

Yeah, since he wasn't called Penguin in the movie or the first episode, I am guessing the series is the sotry of how hegets to be called The Penguin

 

[Wor-Gar]

So that's what its about, how he got his name.

 

[Captain Clown]

Good grief I want this figure so bad.

I thought he was referred to as the penguin in the movie, and he has been referred to that in the series already.

It would be a crime if this figure goes unproduced.

Indeed it would be. I'm worried that we'll actually see Gorshan Riddler released as well...

There’s a DC Comics trade paperback called “Penguin: Pain and Prejudice” that goes into similar territory, i.e. sympathizing with Oswald while not sugarcoating his viciousness and I highly recommend it. Unlike Burgess who just loved being a crook which was a large part of his charm. I always appreciated Penguin was one of the very few Batman rogues who wasn’t crazy, just a criminal.

Really feeling unsure about this figure getting released.

I wouldn’t worry. I think the chances are pretty good that we will see Mars announce soon.

But… just in case… Jazzinc will do ‘66 Penguin eventually.

After Catwoman, Burgess Meredith’s Penguin is my favorite ‘66 Batman villain. I can’t say as any of the newer incarnations of the character impress me as much.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the Patterson batman but the penguin show is good so far.

But how do you feel about the Pattinson Batman?

 

[joeyoky]

But how do you feel about the Pattinson Batman?

Honestly, I just feel he didn't fit the part,maybe I didn't watch it enough I think one and a half times,but Idk can't get into his character. Hard to explain.

We passed the 2nd Anniversary of this Announcement on Oct 2nd.

Thought we could at least enjoy a 2nd birthday.
