Burgess Meredith as Penguin

Ok, I concede (for now ), and I can't wait to see how the body turns out, Jess.

Me too, because I am flying by the seat of my pants right now.

Pengy needs to be short and squat, not fat and round. I looked at the Type 2 body, and it looked like it would take too much effort to make it work...cutting hard plastic to shorten it up, like on the torso, the upper and lower arms, and also the thighs and legs, regluing, etc. So...I am going the easy route and resculpting a short and squat body. Here's what I've massaged today. And guess what guys? It doesn't have to be perfect because it will be covered in clothing! I'm going to throw the legs in the oven now....and when it's cooled off, I will proceed with the groin area and move upwards.

Wow it looks fabulous in a photograph! It doesn't look that great in real life.

Well, I still think he should be on a fat body, just by definition; he's the Penguin...penguins are fat and they waddle, end of story.

Looks like he's a full head shorter than Cesar Romero

You're right Jessica, the Batman 66 Penguin doesn't really need a fat body, but any other version would.
And I would love a real Megosized umbrella

[thunderbolt]

^^ If you ever figure out the umbrella, I'll be your biggest fan. And I agree that he shouldn't be on a fat body, maybe a shorter mego body? Titans or Our Gang?

Whoot! Thanks guys for the motivation to keep on keeping on.

What would be super cool is if I can make a black umbrella that could really open and close. All I need would be that wire....I wonder where to get a thin wire that can bend but springs back into a straight rod? Does anybody know? Anybody here work for an orthodontist?

That's what happens when you customize. It snowballs into a real gigantic project. One simple little head which needs a better body...and then all the goodies that you want that could make it a perfect little pengy...

A-Men

you have a real talent jessica..

Amen to that! I am looking forward to getting some work from Jessica perhaps before Summer.

Keep it up Jessica. You are very talented. I'll PM you again when I get close...

[jessica]

He doesn't look that plump to me...he doesn't look like he should be on a Mego fat body...

[thunderbolt]

Yep, it was Darklord. Hopefully he's busy working on it or the female body or the batmobile.

[HardyGirl]

Wasn't that DarkLord?

Somebody, I don't remember who, was working on a better fat body for customs like this.

As I remember, he was pretty upset that the Mego fat body had no waist articulation, the arms and legs were puny compared to the torso, which rendered the whole thing pretty unbelievable.

As far as I know, he managed to make a torso with waist rotation, sculpted new arms, and was working on a pair of legs, but there hasn't been an update as to how the figure is going.

Whoever you are, if you're still out there, let us see how the fig is coming. We'd really like to see how it came out.

As always your work is amazing. It looks just like him.

Outstanding work Jessica! You are very talented!
