The Gotham Select 7″ Scale Action Figures should begin hitting stores in October. The series, which includes Jim Gordon, The Penguin and Selina Kyle, will each include a diorama base piece. Those will connect to form a larger diorama display! Diamond Select Toys has released a new video detailing the figures as well as their diorama pieces. Check it out below.

I saw these at Toy Fair in person, but at the time they were not allowed to be photographed.
Another cool angle to these figs is that the bases will connect. So if you get Gordon, Catwoman - you can combine the bases into a building front with fire escape etc.
Odd choice of three; no Bullock, Fish, Falcone etc.
Now a Bruce & Alfred 2-pack like with Thanos & Death is a set I'd buy
So... these are not done by DCC?
Penguin and Catgirl look okay, but that doesn't resemble Gordon's actor at all to me.

What bothers me most about Gordon is the articulation. Particularly in the legs. Looks like he's wearing knee pads! The thigh swivel makes his leg look like it's gonna fall off. These remind me of Funko's series 1 GOT figures, that's not a good thing. The Penguin needs extra attention. He's such a popular character, honestly he makes the show IMO. They should push out a better likeness than this.

You'd think they would be more accurate.

These will be a wait and see type product for me, I am hot and cold with the show, it has moments of greatness and causes much frustration. They will have to look good in person, and the show will have to be on an upswing.
But yeah, in most cases these companies should stop using it. I have to wonder if DCC uses it for their Arrow and Flash figures. Flash looks exactly like Grant Gustin - but he also has the extremely blank, lifeless kind of expression like you mentioned. If any character should have had a smile, it's him.
But yeah, now that attention was brought to Penguin's chin, it doesn't seem like a purchase to me. It was "meh" enough at first glance. I don't know. If Gordon and Catgirl's display bases are good, I'll probably buy them for that reason and try to sell the figures.

Glad you see my point about the blank faces.
If you look at figures that NECA has made, they're likenesses are sometimes spot on. None of that "facial scan" technology is used, trust me. They look at high res pictures, and trust the sculptor to create there vision. Look at that Bill paxton Aliens figure for example. He has this really scared expression. That's what he looked like most of the time! His expression makes the likeness that much better. With a blank face he would've looked weird.
These blank face figures are turning into something out of "Invasion of the Body snatchers" lol.
You know what it is with Penguin, I've just worked it out; his nose is too small. Extend that nose into more of a beak and it'd look much better
Regarding scanning people's faces, could it be that when the scanned model/data is scaled down drastically, the details and therefore resemblance to the original person become reduced? I've always wondered about this.
Gotham is an ok show but I don't think any of the characters are toy worthy. I'll take a Det. Joe West figure any day of the week over these.
I really love DST marvel figures. These are cool but a pass for me. Now if they would ever do a DC comics figures I'm in.
