Have you stuck a bit of white tac on the end of the cigarette holder?boy, did I get a funny look when I asked for the stuff at the store considering I am “follicularly”challenged myself
all kidding aside it does a good job of creating a greasy wet look & holding it
I find the figure holds it just fine by simply poking it into the corner of his mouth.
yes it’s white tac
i need to remove some excess
i am worried about loosing that little sucker
Quick pic. Just opened. This makes for a wonderful sewer scene Penguin. Minimal mods are needed. I was pleasantly surprised at the hair. While not rooted all that great it has a stringy quality to it that is easily futzable. The hat is not really useable at all. The coat is decent but where this really shines is displayed with only the onesy.
I think I’ll apply a light gray wash on the head and hands, darken the area around his eyes and maybe repaint the eyes and add some glossy dribble under his mouth but really, if you didn’t want to mess with anything at all, he’d look just fine in the collection. Not remotely the train wreck he appeared to be early on.

Definitely underwear Penguin for me. I’ll get Mars version for the full mayor outfit if they ever actually make it but for now I think I’ll try and get as close to this version as I can. Guess I’ll snag that black umbrella off eBay.
Great pix! I just received mine and I'm pretty happy with him
I was surprised how solid the black and white umbrella is!
I haven’t even had a chance to take that out yet but it looks great in pics. It would be fun to have a couple others, like the ”cute” umbrella, to use from time to time.
The handle is metal, so it has good weight to it. And yes, the other umbrellas would be great to have! Are you listening MARS? We need some pied Penguin action, lol

Mine came yesterday. While the figure for the most part looks quite excellent, the headsculpt has a serious issue.
There are little black specks and lines all over the top of his ostensibly bald dome. I'm not sure, but it looks to me like little pieces of the hair or fuzz that fell on the sculpt while the paint was being applied - so they got "glued" on by the paint as it dried. (A couple of longer lines in the upper right portion also make me think it's from the hair).
They seem completely embedded into the surface. I'm not sure scratching them out, rubbing hard enough, or scrubbing would remove them - and I'm afraid to even try, as I'm fairly certain that would damage the paintjob.
Hopefully the pictures convey the issue, but the white bald part is so reflective of the light that it's hard to get a proper sense of the specks in the camera.
Any advice? Based on pictures, it seems like no one else has had this issue. I just sent an e-mail to OneSixthKit, to see if he could send a replacement head.

I don’t know if they put any product on the hair but you might try some warm to slightly hot water on a cloth and see if perhaps some overzealous hair goop applicator got some hair infused product on the scalp. Maybe it will wipe off if softened.

I’m not sure if the pics are doing it justice in terms of the issue. However, from what I can see I actually quite like it - makes him look even more grimy and disgusting?
Bonus gross... ?
It should remove I had that and some odd paint which I easily removed. Soaked the hair head in water then used a hair dryer.
Added some gloss to his mouth.
Noticed you can undo the outfit it's velcro at the front but the bib is glued down so would need to reglue.

Interesting...
So there's a velcro opening underneath the bib?
And the bib is actually glued down -- I assumed it was a simple stitch at the corners?

I actually was thinking of adding some gloss to the black goopy stuff on his mouth too. Looks too dry as is.
