There's a little plush Penguin from B: TAS (New Adventures) from the late '90s that's classic. I agree, the Gotham one is confusing.

Although I guess he is among the more Toyetic characters on a show generally filled with guys in suits. What kid doesn't want a Jim Gordon or Alfred plush?

I have to admit I have a soft spot for the Devito Penguin. Returns is my favourite of the Batman Scissorhands era. Silly rocket penguins and all.

Me too...Burton and Devito did something with the Penguin nobody really had before...they made him dangerous.Comment

Hoo boy, am I on the reverse of that, I thought DeVito's Penguin was gross and I was happy to see the back of Burton.
I weirdly made a custom Super Powers movie Penguin that summer though.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

As to being "dangerous", the settings and crimes of Batman Returns' Penguin--running for mayor, hijacking the Batmobile, using deadly birds, a thematic setting (the sewers/zoo), using a front business or gang to support racketeering & kidnapping--are very traditional depictions lifted directly from comics and the TV show.
So, was it just the Burtonesque window-dressing that made his Penguin seem more deadly? I think one important aspect of any successful Penguin characterization is seeing Cobblepot as a sort of bizarro version of Bruce Wayne/Batman.Last edited by PNGwynne; May 12, '15, 10:04 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

a shame that the only Brave and Bold Penguin toy was the Happy Meal figure.
This european kids meal toy was pretty awesome.
