I understand what you guys mean, when you complain about the ankles. Honestly I wouldn’t change the whole body. The upper part is pretty perfect proportion wise.
Maybe try to frankenstein the lower legs?

Got my invoice from Kit but haven’t paid it yet. I likely will only display one version at a time since it would seem weird to me to have two versions of that character and only one of the rest (didn’t buy the variant Romero figures).

Sorry for the spam. Reposed my Prank Villain too. Love the 60’s figures so much; they’re so fun.
Yeah, having two versions of the same Riddler in my collection feels weird. I’ll probably keep either one of them packaged at any given time.

I’m leaning towards displaying the spandex jumpsuit over the suited look. Both versions are great though. Props to Mars for putting both in one package.

paid mine off 2 days ago from GIANTOYS , loving seeing all your photos of it !
Rewatching clips of the show it's interesting how the villain actors seemed to strike a lot of the same poses while hamming it up. I suppose they must have studied each other to get ideas. Either that or there are just only so many ways to look like a completely unhinged cartoonish bad guy. 
Classic generic hammy theatrical body language for those in the back row.
No moustaches to twirl.

Love the poses! Really capturing the energy of the show. I wonder if it would have been better for Mars to include a John Astin sculpt instead of the neutral Gorshin?
Anyway, it looks great.
I could never buy Astin as Riddler; changing actors during the series always bugged me (much like Eartha Kitt’s Catwoman).
I found Kitt was okay, but not as hot as the original. Yes hotness matters.
Astin Riddler was a step down, but still, enjoyed his interpretation.

Though Astin introduce the questionmark cane, and I adore the actor, he was poorly served by the role, he was never going to measure to Gorshin's well established and iconic Riddler.
Wish they had used him for his own character. Maybe the more swashbuckling campy Cavalier, would have been hysterical, as an over the top cooky, dashing swashbuckler.

I kind of want to use the cane with Gorshin... but it just feels wrong somehow.
This would have been a great exclusive for early bird POs or a nice accessory set with the sculpt and straight belt.

I have my set from Kit and oh man...it's glorious!!!!
It definitely would have allowed us to use both outfits with two different actors heads.
That said, personally, I would still keep 2x Gorshin over Astin.

Riddler has arrived and I have nothing new to add other than to join the chorus of folks who are VERY HAPPY with this set!!
It's brilliant, currently have jumpsuit Riddler in a more theatric pose with the manic smile, and the suited Riddler with the glare plus a gun with him in a hat tipping gesture - I wanted to capture both the zany energy as well as his more sinister moments

I always thought that some of the extra head sculpts would look good on a jail/inmate uniform.
