"FRIGID BIRD"
"Rounding out" this rouge's gallery of
Bat-villains is my customized action figure rendition of the nefarious
PENGUIN!
MEGO'S original action figure version
of THE PENGUIN required a complete and total make-over.
This figure has customized shorter and
thicker legs to give him a 7 inch tall body height (to actually make him
SHORTER than the other 8 inch tall characters). He has an all-new (more
sinister) head sculpt with a removable top hat and monocle with lens (not
molded onto the head sculpt like MEGO's original.) THE PENGUIN now wears brand
new custom-made SEPARATE clothing garments: white shirt, silk bow-tie, silk
orange cumberbundt, purple dress pants, sox, white spats on top of wing-tip
shoes, buttons (unlike MEGO's original silk-screen printed leotard).
My customized PENGUIN action figure also
wears white silk dress gloves with cuffs (instead of MEGO's simple "white
hands"), and he has custom-made cigarette-holder and umbrella accessories
(which MEGO never included with their original action figure!)
I also created a customized MEGO-styled
window-box package for this action figure on computer in Adobe Photoshop.
