NECA has announced a new DC action figure release, a first in their 8-inch retro action figure line, with this 2026 release of The Penguin from Batman Returns.



The articulated figure features a full soft goods tailored outfit, including his fur-lined coat, which is wired for improved posing options. Accessories include a removable top hat, monocle, cigarette, half-eaten fish, and a selection of extra hands.


NECA's new 8-inch Batman Returns Penguin is live for pre-order as of the 14th of February at the NECA store and all NECA retailers.



NECA presents this clothed action figure of The Penguin from Tim Burton’s 1992 masterpiece Batman Returns, featuring Danny DeVito in an unforgettable performance as the iconic villain. Abandoned as a child by his parents, he is now a reclusive and deformed man, with a twisted mind honed by rage and an insatiable need for revenge, hiding in the tunnels and sewers underneath Gotham City. The Penguin found a home and base of operations at the Arctic World Pavilion in the abandoned Old Gotham City Zoo. The Penguin and the Red Triangle Circus gang form an unlikely alliance with amoral business mogul Max Shreck that sends Gotham City and its residents into a frenzy of terror. Paying homage to vintage toy lines, The Penguin figure is fully articulated and wears tailored soft goods clothing, including a poseable coat with wire. Accessories include top hat, monocle, fish snack, interchangeable gloved hands, and more. This 8-inch scale figure comes in window box packaging with slipcover.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
