    they both look great, but Penguin's shirt is too loose and that cigarette is way too big, although I guess they needed to do that to make it visible

      looks like they put the Penguin on a short body like they should have done for the 66 version.

        I get its supposed to be a 1940s cigarette holder and not just a cigarette. Just seems marketing weirdness to have the package with a picture o f him without it. And have the figure lack the one accessory he is pictured with, the Super Powers umbrella.

          I guess FTC's cheapness is keeping them from producing an accessory that could have gotten some reuse. Its not like they aren't already gouging prices on these figures.

            How do you know they are gouging? You've seen their costs?

              No I haven't but for the price there should be a spike in quality and there is not. It just seems like a cash grab and they don't care about sloppy sculpting, bodies and clothes.

                The "cash grab" could be coming from higher costs in China and them doing smaller runs. I know people like to project "greed" on a company but it's not always the case, also, they're allowed to not lose their shirts on stuff.
