Comic book accuracy is overrated anyways. Just give us something good, no one cares excepts these nerds.

I would be a raging hypocrite if I didn’t admit I love a comic character being authentic to their comic book roots. Seeing Moon Knight in all his cloaked, costumed glory makes me so much happier than if they pulled a budget Netflix and just had him running around in a white hoodie. Seeing characters as bizarre as Peacemaker or Hela or Mysterio showing up with all their zany comic book aesthetics in play makes me very happy. We’ve come a long way from the days when hero movies acted ashamed of their source material.

Riddler in name only? He made riddles and did puzzles and was a villain. How is that in name only?

He embodied none of the traits of The Riddler that I'm familiar with. I don't recall him being a serial killer in the cartoon series...he was more mischievous from what I remember (granted I never knew him beyond the animated series). Also having 0 likeness to his comic book look doesn't help either.

Yea he looks nothing like how he’s supposed to look but this riddler I think was more inspired by the video game arkham riddler. In that game he uses saw like traps and riddles and usually talks from behind a computer screen.

Yea remember when every superhero movie had to have a dark leather outfit . I love the early 2000s but I hated that.

In practice he's the exact opposite of the comic character.

Spoiler

In the comics he leaves riddles for Batman because he believes Batman isn't clever enough to solve them, and sees it was a way to prove his genius against his enemy.

In the movie he leaves riddles for Batman because he expects Batman is clever enough to solve them, and sees it as a way to communicate with who he perceives to be an ally to his cause.

Like all the characters it's a very early version of the Riddler we see. He may evolve closer to the comic book version, assuming we do see him again.

I'd still love to see a figure of him made. Hopefully SooSoo make him, Gordon and Penguin if Hot Toys don't go there.

I would be surprised if HT don't make Catwoman though. The mask is the only part of suit I didn't like and I'd display with the unmasked sculpt anyway.

The mask for Catwoman wasn't the best but it's easy to make as they can just make it with that material and put it on her sculpt. I think it can work way better that way.

Unless the fabric dye ends up staining the head-sculpt, which seems like something we should expect from HT.

I just want to be able to look at my collection and see Zoe Kravitz face- unless they do her dirty like Katee Sackhoff and we end up with more of a Joe Kravitz.

I'd say it still a better option and is mostly for photos I doubt anyone will leave her with the mask on. Lol what I like about Zoe version is it's finally a closer look to how Selena looks like in the comics with the short hair so that shouldn't be something that is hard to achieve.

Getting a bit off-track, but I always viewed the core of the character as greater than the theme or gimmick. Batman also has encountered similar villains such as Cluemaster, Enigma, and The Puzzler.

Cluemaster! Hell yeah. Justice League Antarctica movie or GTFO, Warner Brothers.

 

[davejames]

I've weirdly grown to like how the mask looks on her, although like others I doubt I'd want to cover up that gorgeous Kravitz sculpt when we get it.

And she didn't seem to wear the mask all that often in the movie anyway, just when she was doing her cat burgling.

Looking at this statue.. I do wish the HT fig treated the torso armor in the same way. It blends in a lot more with the chest armor.

VS this

 

[dominishin]

HT's version is actually more accurate to the real suit. Prime 1 also has wrinkling on the abs that shouldn't be there. I like QS's suit better in terms of 1/3.

The main thing HT should fix is the chest armor though, the notched area should be tucked under the cape with straps.

 

[i-zombie]

HT's abs I think just come across as being softer, partially due to the scale of the fabric used.

You're right about the chest plate and straps, didn't even notice how far off it is.

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

I want this figure so bad lol.

I wouldn’t mind two headsculpts for catwoman. One masked, one not.

Anyone see this Riddler figure?

not sure why it's so expensive.

Looks like a third party Riddler is being made. Curious if we’ll get an official one or not. This one seems pretty good though.

Funny, we posted at basically the same time. I didn’t realize what the conversion rate works out to. It is pretty spendy for a third party release.

Even the figure looks menacing. I do think they did a great job on the character design for this film.
