Help Identifying Art/Statue

#1 Post by UtahMagnumFan »

Does anyone know anything about the penguin statue (at least I think it’s a penguin) that sat on Magnum’s console table?

Thanks,
Kelly

Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to post a picture on this platform. I tap the image icon and just get this… Image. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? 🤷‍♂️

I believe you have to use an outside image hosting site such as ImgBB and then post the link in your comment.

That worked, but I’m sorry to say I have no information about it. I honestly never noticed it before :( and I’ve been watching the series since it debuted in the 80’s. Perhaps someone else here can help.

Thanks for the help! Hopefully someone will know something about it. You’ll definitely notice it now. 😜

I've never noticed that guy before either. What episode is this from?

I just watched "One Picture is Worth" the episode where the deaf artist witnesses a bank robbery and murder...the penguin statue is at about the 14 minute mark. Magnum, Linda...the girl, Higgins and Carol are in the guest house talking about the bank robber making bail. The statue is in the guest house on the long buffet table against the elevated kitchen railing. There is a lamp and the statue and anotI have seen it in other episodes too.
