Description

DC The Penguin (416-100) Model Kit Yellow Logo on Sides AFA 80 (Aurora, 1967). Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot waddles into plastic infamy with Aurora's 1967 long-box release, the first dedicated Penguin model ever sold. The slim vertical carton flaunts Silver-Age DC artwork of the top-hatted villain unleashing his trademark trick umbrellas, a vibrant counterpoint to Aurora's earlier Batman kit, and a cornerstone of the short-lived Rogues Gallery line. Graded AFA 80 NM, this is a scarce opportunity to capture Gotham's gentleman crook in high grade-perfect to flank your Aurora Batman build-ups or headline a Bronze-Age Bat-collection before this bird flies south.
