      Nice. I think we all need to take a road trip to Bill's place. Thanks for all the great pic Bill.

      Interesting Penguin gets the same artwork as the back of the cards and his box. Nothing unique for him. Wonder why?

        It may have been easier just to trace the stock art provided. He's not exactly a dynamic character.

        I personally don't really care for the Penguin but even this card melts my butter.

                The only thing that would make it more perfect it was if they had added an umbrella in his hand in that picture.

                  ^^^Actually, the art originally HAD the umbrella, but since Mego didn't include that accessory they removed it from the art.

                  I love the Penguin and this is a beaut.

                    It's a great card but the art always leaves me scratching my head asking why this pose would be approved.

                    Without anything else in the photo, it makes Penquin look like he's in the process of slipping on a bannana peal.

                      A Penguin in any package is a beautiful bird, but Palitoy is my favorite.

                      Maybe the Infantino umbrella-parachutist copy art was standard?

                            I am surprised they didn't remove his smoke too, since that is not included. He looks great on green.
