McFarlane Toys has given us a classic Penguin action figure as part of their DC Multiverse Collector Edition line, but should you flock to the store to pluck him from the shelve, or is this jailbird a goose egg?

I personally don't mind how bright his orange vest is, but I really wish his pants had the pin stripes. At the $30 price point they definitely should've added them.
I would've wanted penguin soldiers a la the Batman Returns toyline. I STILL remember that old commercial with an army of penguin figures!
It's pretty easy to make one of those cig holders like he uses. A tooth pick, a tiny strip of paper, a glue stick and some markers or paint is all you need. I made one for my old Penguin several years back
Definitely an idea
I know I was pretty easy on the starfire, but this penguin re uses so much and is shorter than the others! But man cannot deny that they killed it with that hesdsculpt
In a case like this with someone who has such a unique body shape, the reuse doesn't bother me. Overall I love it
@@5POAFigureReviews it’s just with the re use I feel this could’ve been a general release
I definitely think this penguin figure is awesome, so I'll definitely be on the lookout for him. I've been wanting a good penguin figure, and I think this one will be perfect for me.
I thought the fact you scaled penguin with a pebble, I fell on the floor laughing so hard. I do hope I'll find him either at a Walmart or Target. I hate how my walmart gets stuff really late compared to other places I check. But nonetheless, this penguin is really good, and I prefer him over the arkham City version.
30 dollar price point is a hard pass for me. And yes I agree let stealth iron man keep the hat. Lol
Great review. I am tempted to buy him.
This is a very near perfect classic Penguin figure....the only thing really stifling it being that price. Great review as always Jason! Also using a pebble for scale and putting a top hat on stealth Iron Man are some of my new favorite gags of yours!😂
McFarlane needs to get rid of the stupid, useless card holder. At $30, I'd rather have more accessories packed with the figure in place of the card holder. More extra hands and an extra umbrella that's opened, and maybe even add a penguin bird or two with it.
Stealth Iron Man needs to keep the hat.
It's very becoming on him lol
I’m looking, I’m looking… but I just can’t seem to find 30 dollars here!
Lol I hear ya.
I passed the reg at one store and picked up the platium at another store. I think detective bats is one of best bats this year.
Agreed!
The only thing I would add is the strips on the pants after that, it would be perfect 👌
Yeah the pinstripes would have set the whole thing off
@@5POAFigureReviews definitely you should do that along with maybe cutting a little bit of the coat holes to get more range. That could be a cool video to do!
I'm probably going to stay with my Arkham City Penguin. This guy looks great but i prefer the modern designs for Bat's villains rather than the classic look.
That The Pebble and the Penguin reference killed me. I watched it so many times on VHS as a kid. The amount of humor and effort you put into your reviews is amazing. Thanks again for the laughs and review.
While the price is a bit much for this figure, I'm not gonna let it rain on my parade. I already wanted to add this Penguin to my collection, but I still wanted your thoughts on it, and as eggs-pected, you did not disappoint.
Ok, those puns were fowl, but I stand by my statement (last one, I promise 😂🐧).
Glad you enjoyed it!
Penguin not being able look down kinda works since hes a big short guy you gotta bend his leg downwards which kinda makes sense
On a semi-related note, its interesting how so many Batman characters have had purple in their designs over the years. Bats himself in his first appearance and Rebirth. Obviously Joker, Riddler, Penguin and Catwoman. But also golden age Two-Face, BTAS Mr. Freeze, Arkham Origins Killer Croc and heck, even Killer Moth!
Common villain color, even with Marvel. I think because heroes are usually red or blue, so purple and green contrast them.
I think this is the best penguin ever made 🐧❤😂
You might just be right!
I'm so stuck between getting this new classic or the darker Arkham city one.
If you're only only getting one, it really boils down to what style of display you want. If you want your Batman Rogues darker and grimier, go with Arkham. If Classic is your jam, this is the one
Penguin is wearing Florida Gators colors.
Well I live in Florida, so that is appropriate lol
@5POAFigureReviews Wow, seems like every other toy channel I come across belongs to a fellow Floridian. TJ Omega is another.
This is really ugly without the pinstripes, open umbrella and his cig
I had filmed a section discussing the lack of an open umbrella, but then looking at my Penguin collection I realized just how rarely he is given an open one so I let it slide.
Getting the Platinum for my classic Batman rogues would be nice, but it's definitely not something I 100% need. My friend's way more of a Penguin fan than I am.
If I find one I will pick it up, but I am not going out of my way
@@5POAFigureReviews Yeah, same here.
Rigamarole done ✅.. must get this one!
Thank you! Hope you can
Is it just me or does the Arkham Penguin kinda resemble Arnold Schwarzenegger?
I don't see it personally, but he def reminds me of someone
I think it looks like Arnie's pain face
Just a little too tall for my bat villain display. Almost as tall as Three Jokers Clown (pink) Joker. I bent the legs to make him shorter.
Tell me when do you a review of superman blue from the plastic man wave are you also keen on getting the platinum chase too?
Oh yeah, the main reason I haven't reviewed him yet is that I am trying to find the red one so I can do both at the same time. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it, and it's going for over $100 on eBay, which I absolutely will not pay. We'll see. if I don't find Red within the next couple weeks, I'll just go ahead and do the Blue one
@@5POAFigureReviews fair enough I hoped you get superman red soon
All I can think of is Burges Merideth saying “He’s got a lifetimes supply of butane gas!” while Bruce throws his lighter into the furnace he’s slowly I chin toward on a conveyor belt.
Burgess is still my favorite live action Penguin
@@5POAFigureReviews well…you’re not spoiled for choice in that department XD
Which do you prefer this penguin or the arkham penguin?
I prefer classic, but that's because my taste skew more retro in general. If you prefer a more modern, grittier Batman display, Arkham fits that vibe better
@@5POAFigureReviews thank you!
Excellent portrait.
I'm not a fan of the Penguin, but this is very well done.
McFarlane really captured the character.
Agreed! That face is perfect
I still have penguin figure from toy biz 1990 as you have.
I’m looking forward to getting this. I have the Arkham one, from the Batman and the 60s Batman show.
I put the 60s one with other villains on the Batman the animated series JokerMobile. Will you get that?
Probably not. It's a cool piece but a lot of money, and I don't really have space for it
@@5POAFigureReviews I got it and made a review video of it. It’s really big! but definitely worth the price. Space is an issue for us all.
bro voice is better no cap!!
need some black suit knightfall batman headswaps.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
It's coming. Black and Grey Knightfall vs Hush coming next, with head swap video to follow
Huh????
I'm going to be kitbashing this figure with Arkham City one to create a Rebirth style Penguin. It wouldn't be that hard to mod the bodies to be able to have the collar and bowtie from this figure with the coat and vest from that figure.
I'm thinking of switching their lower halves so his suit is all black, and painting his vest and hat band. Not sure though.
@@5POAFigureReviews Just be careful handling the vest afterwards. I've had a lot of soft plastics flake from flexing after I painted them.
Over detailed 💩
Looks shit as per most T$dd toys
Not proud to admit I laughed at the aviary joke lol
That's fine, I'm proud it made you laugh tho ha
I'dk Noland norths bad cockney accent will always make the Arkham panguin my favorite. And I only need one cobblepot. But I'm willing to bet loads of people will love that he ended up being pretty good
I do like the cockney, otherwise I really love Paul Williams in BTAS
@@5POAFigureReviews that's totally valid as well
