DC Superheroes Gotham City villains The Penguin

Its either you hate him or love him, yes, from the depths of Gotham's underworld, The Penguin, although shadowed by infamous Joker for many years, The Penguin was one of Batman's classic foes.
After work, I had some spare time, so picked this up from some second-hand shop, with banged up box, this penguin seemed unwanted.

I wasn't disappointed at all, only due to the fact, he had his body painted white to mimick his smart shirt. New sculpt for the body and legs was the plus points of the figure. The lack of details on the costume are the minus points.

Well, they gave us 2 nicely painted plastic penguins too, so it isn't half as bad. Maybe one day, with the left over guns or missiles, I might revamp the oversized birds ala Batman returns.
The figure still looks great in display, as for poses, that's as much as I can do for now. The coat doesn't really cover the belly, I used a black rubber band to secure it, maybe a button should be there to secure it. Penguin really needs a tailor.

Well, that's all for now till next time....waugh waugh....

DC Superheroes Silver Age Batman

Another one of my all-time favorite superheroes, Batman, the greatest detective of all time. Although, Batman has no superhuman powers, the character captured me since I was kid growing up.
Released by Hasbro in 1999, Batman was a Target exclusive, poseability is very good, with the classic blue themed clothed costume. Batman came with a removeable cowl though the mask didn't fit very well on the figures head, I still dig the retro feeling it gave me.

Not much difference in body used from the DC superheroes series, same points of articulation,
The sad news, no accesories, Batarang or anything for Batman to hold. Well, I guess we have to customize him ourselves and let our imaginations roll.


I do have the Guardian of Gotham city Batman too, I just cant find the box to take pictures, well, I guess that will be another post for another time.
