The Batman - The Penguin

I kind of got sucked into picking up this line when seeing all the hype and propaganda out in the wild. I'm a sucker for newly released superhero figures based on movies. DC Spinmaster's line of "The Batman" figures  aren't much different than it's predecessor DC line. The only difference is in the face sculpts. Seeing as how they are based on real life actors, Batman, Catwoman and the rest of the cast look like their real life counterparts. The great thing is that you should be able to find them easily at your local Walmart and Target department stores on endcaps and out in the center aisles. They are everywhere. Today we take a look at The Penguin! 
I'm enjoying this figure more than I thought I would. I haven't seen the film yet so I'm wondering if something happens to The Penguins face, causing his nose to look like...well like a penguin's. This head sculpt  looks pretty normal. 
I was surprised upon opening the suitcase to find a nice extra!
These are fun figures. Nothing special, but pretty cool to mess around with.

    I wish more accessories were functional like that case filled with money. Very cool.

      Agreed, Fuji! I mean, seeing as how this is a discount line, I wouldn't have minded just a solid piece but the added money stacks was a nice plus!

    I'm the only one that has not seen it at my office! everyone agrees it is very good and one even said it is the best Batman movie to date. The only complain so far has been the running time of almost 3hrs but apparently you don't even notice it lasts that long.

    The figure looks nice, can be used as a generic civilian if that's your thing. For some reason It bothers me that he does not comes with a jacket lol. The case with money reminds me the one it came with Pursuit of Cobra Destro, except that in the G.I. Joe figure the stacks of bills where cut individually.

    While watching Nickelodeon, me and my kids have seen the commercials for these toys about 1,000,000 times! We affectionately call this guy "Sensibly Dressed Penguin".

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
