The white eyes on this are a huge miss. If the mask didn't expose all the skin around his eyes I might be more forgiving but as it is it makes no sense and just looks unfinished.
 
Fully agree, white eyes + the creepy pallid and scarred face just looks wrong, not very Riddler-like.
Honestly, Riddler is usually one of Batman's less freakish looking villains, hell I would even say his best portrayals even have him as fairly handsome, a bit of a dandy, vain in his appearance, the Capullo portrayal of him in particular is a great look.
This - much like the Penguin statue its posed next to here - is in the realm of trying too hard to look villainous and threatening.

Also the base could do with more puzzles, monitors and gadgets, and a lot more green - the set dressing isn't really Riddler-coded, it’s more Joker in the rigged explosives motif.
These are my thoughts as well and just couldn’t put them into words 👏🏼

Definitely agree that the base says Joker more than it does Riddler
 
White eyes, pale white skin, scarred face, dirty torn up clothes.....this looks like a Walking Dead version of the Riddler.
 
I was excited for this when they showed the initial silhouette. But he looks like something out of the Evil Dead!

Skipped Penguin too - both so busy and over done. Sideshow need to show a bit more restraint on these characters people have been waiting years for. Do a crazy version later on once you've released something more recognisable.

Member when they did the first Joker perfect?
 
Like everything about this Riddler staying in line with the Dark Knight theme. This is a day one and a no brainer for me.

What would be sweet is if Sideshow offered an alternative portrait with the eyes. I think I'd like the eyes, but the way it is, is not a deal breaker to me.

In case nobody saw, they 'fixed' the eyes as there is no longer bare skin between the eyes and mask
