This is a figure I wanted to make for the verse but never got around to until I was commissioned to do it. I've been working on him forever, much to the dismay of my customer. He's "done" but doesn't feel like the Penguin. The customer said no monacle, top hat, bow tie, etc. So now I have a bald fat guy... I'm giving him an umbrella and a revolver for accessories. I'm thinking of giving him a cigarette and a removable monocle (if I can do it). What do you think he's missing that will really make him scream penguin (and no I don't have any penguins to give him).

Sorry for the blurry pics. My camera battery is dead so I used my phone.
This started out life as a SW guy, the Rancor Keeper I believe...

Needs some hair I'd think. Always saw Penguin as balding, not bald. Removable monocle would be cool.

Yeah, it might not scream Penguin, but it's still pretty cool. I like it. It's kinda hard when the order is "I want this guy, but I don't want it to look like this guy..."

I sent pics to the guy he likes the bald. All he wants me to add now is a top hat, which he originally said he didn't want. I'll make that today. He def vetoed the monocle.

If you have a spare monopoly set lying around the top hat is joe scale.

Definitely digging this take on Penguin. I can see him in the reimagining and its good the customer said no to the stupid monocle.

Once you get the accessories he'll look the part. Great modding on the Rancor Keeper.

Yeah, just because it doesn't have the classic Penguin feel to it doesn't make it any less a sweet custom. I keep wanting to do Batman customs after I see your stuff and re-imagination is the road I would go down.
