I imply , follow on , Gotham . You already lean into the most batshit awfulness / sizeableness that you may , where ’s my Jada Pinkett - Smith action human body , complete with self - eye - gouging action ? Oh fine , I guess I ’ll have to wait .
Over the weekend , TV Insiderrevealed that Diamond Select has vex the Toy rights to Gotham , unveiling the first three figures in the 7 ” scurf argument : Jim Gordon , Oswald Cobblepot ( I pretend Jim was right , everyone can have a Cobblepot ! ) and Selina Kyle . Each figure comes with an interconnect bases so once you ’ve collected all three , you’re able to make a little corner of Gotham to pose your figures in :
On the whole they ’re not speculative — although Penguin does look creepily demented in variety of the best way , compared to the comparatively glum / neutral face of Jim and Selina . Although the Jim figure does a pretty dumbfounding job of not look much like Ben McKenzie at all , bring in it basically just a “ Guy in Suit ” toy .
I just wish there were more . I mean , Gotham is already crazy about deliver as many origin taradiddle for Batman related characters as possible , the toyline should lean into that . An Edward Nygma that derive with a soundchip that does nothing but shout “ RIDDLES ! ” whenever you press it ? A “ mayhap the vernal Joker , peradventure not ? ” image ? A Bruce Wayne fig that ’s base is just his lifeless parents corpses , so you may revivify the Batman source again and again and again ( just like all Batman media ! ) ?
But really , I ’m just in it for Fish Mooney . If one Gotham cast of characters member deserves the award of being immortalize in plastic , it has to be her .
DST ’s Gotham figures will set you back $ 25 each when they release this Fall .
