Gotham’s Penguin Begins Causing Mischief In Knight Models’ Batman
March 19, 2015 by brennon
It looks like Knight Models really do have access to every facet of the Batman franchise as they're going to be adding the Penguin, in his Gotham guise, to the selection of models you can choose from for the Batman Miniatures Game...
This new version of the bird-like villain is from the show that has been garnering a crowd slowly but surely. I've not watched it myself but apparently it's getting better and better and the Penguin is one of the best characters in it. Sculpt wise it's very characterful and looks incredibly close to the real actor I have to say.
With the Penguin coming out that surely means we're going to see more of the younger characters making an appearance? Also, if you can do all of the facets of the Batman franchise please do the 90's cartoon Batman!
What do you think of this version of the Penguin and have you watched Gotham?
Let us know!

I’m not to keen on them bringing Gotham models into the game
From a collectors standpoint I get it. From a gaming standpoint not so much
There are a lot of problems with Gotham: the TV show. The Penguin though isn’t one of them; in fact I’d say he was probably the best bit about it.
Isn’t there a Penguin mini already? I’m still waiting for the Ventriloquist and Azrael and Bat-Mite and maybe Electrocutioner.
There’s a one based on the Arkham video game series. It’s common for their to be multiple IP versions of characters in BMG.
Whilst I’m not exactly clamouring for the Gotham characters to make it into the game, if there was going to be one it would be Penguin. Robin Lord Taylor is superb in the role. My bigger concern is the quality of the sculpts for both this and the Arrow mini. The TV ones don’t match the quality of the Nolan movie sculpts.
The penguin in Gotham is probably one of the best characters in any of the super hero spin offs, the pose on that model has him down pretty good- first glance normal then you notice, the stance, the umbrella and that weird little smirk, then the poison kicks in.
I just hope Knight models don’t waste their time on the new Ironbunnycop Batman in the comics…
Congratulations….
I didn’t get the “Ironbunnycop Batman” reference so I typed that into Google and it had exactly 1 result… this thread. 🙂
That is a very rare occurrence. 😀 😀
That looks really nice.
everyone needs a cobblepot!
I think this mini looks really nice and like the penguin in Gotham.
i like the Gotham style mini’s in the game but thats just one guys opinion. what ever make you happy 🙂
ironbunnycop….lmao
After convergence , I cant see them lasting too long , with the films and the tv series , its too confusing for the new reade to see a man in a bunny suit instead of the dark knight.
This guy is the best thing about Gotham , well him and Bullock (who I would like a sculpt of too)
I’ll be picking this one up as the first part of an organised crime crew.
Love it and i love Gotham.
I really like Gotham the TV show, and Penguin is probably one of the best character from it.
I wasn’t really sold on the show early one but it really got better and better, it has those weird thing that could only happen in Gotham while being slightly more anchored in reality, closer to the Nolan in that regards.
I was resisting this game as none of the crew leaders was calling out to me but now, with this Penguin, damn my lettuce like willpower
I am enjoying Gotham as it’s own take on Batman’s world before Batman became the centre of it. I would really like to see their young Detective Gordon and Harvey Bullock make appearances as that would.fill oout options for a GCPD crew quite nicely. Likewise the TV show has plenty of potential characters for the organised crime crew.
I’m all for diversity, and this IP sure has been ‘sweated’ over the years. I grew upo on Adam West, but he never was my real Batsman – Frank Miller is the real thing… For me!
I recommend some simple hashtags to speed up these forums 😉
#sorrynotmybatman
#sorrynotmyjoker and in this case
#sorrynotmypenguin
But you’re entitled to hold a completely opposite opinion!
#sorrynotmypenguin
Thanks – I guess we need some favourable hastags for those who do like it:
#ThatsMyBatman
#ThatsMyJoker
#ThatsMyPenguin
and for the undecided:
#Meh
I am tempted to add this to my gaming closet!

That figure is spot on…
And Gotham is a great series, drew me in pretty much from the first episodes. It brings you a whole new perspective on Gotham City and its characters.
Think the show is really good love this penguin sculpt. Would like to see a fish sculpt.
