    Lookit what was waiting for me today!!!




    Can't say enough about these figures, the quality is exceptional. Egghead's head looks ok, if anything he'd benefit from a slightly taller body to match Vincent Price better. Penguin is perfect, I added a Venture Bros umbrella for him. Can't wait to see what's next. I'm assuming by the card back that the next waves will be mostly villains.

    In before someone says Egghead's head is too big.

      And I'm not really a 66 fan, but those do look really nice.

        I think its more the actual head is supposed to be big on top and it throws off the sculpt. To me it fits right in with wave one. Its not Alfred melon big

          btw, Penguin's shoes are Dressed To Kill style shoes with painted on spats and he is on the slimmer fat body.

            Perhaps they were trying to make the top of his head a bit larger to try to compensate for the height of Price? Not sure how you could compensate without a new body which was slightly taller.

              Wish mine came. Does Penguin have a fat body from the others?

                BTW just curious, when did you get the 'shipped' notification for these? How long did they take to arrive?

                    They need to tighten that up big time. They are going to start losing a lot of orders to BBTS and EE otherwise.

                      I doubt BBTS has them in stock yet.

                        Yes, I was wondering too about shipping time. Do you live in FL or near? Was it sent ups or postal service? Btw, is Penguin's hat the right shade of purple? It looks blue-ish in your pics, but I know from experience purple sometimes looks different in pics. Thank you.

                          came priority, and the hat is purple, it photographs bluish.

                              Egghead's head doesn't bother me, Price wore a big bulbous egg-like bald cap on the show. His head was supposed to be big. The Penguin is dead on.
