The only things that bothers me a little is the eye opening cut of the mask. Other than that, this is one terrific set!
 
I'm truly amazed and beyond excited for this set! Mars could have easily just given us the unitard version of Riddler with minimal accessories and called it a day, but they went above and beyond with three heads, two bodies, both costumes and a load of accessories that they obviously meticulously researched. If this figure looks as good in production as it does in these photos like the Joker turned out, I will be very happy. The wide eyes aren't nearly as big of a concern to me as they were from the inital teaser pics. Tilting the head properly will make a big difference in how it looks. Extremely well done, Mars. You're making this old man one happy little kid again.

Wow, love that they include two bodies so you can have two completely looks on display. I was expecting that we'd have to all hunt down another body for that ourselves.

Probably going to make this a bit pricier than the Joker set though.
Yeah, I do wish they had an option to just order one or the other and then a deluxe set. I don't need two in my collection display. I suppose I could find someone who wants the other, but aligning on head sculpt and accessories will probably be a bit of a challenge. maybe just outright part out the second one?
 
The suited and bowler hat Riddler with cane could fit in with almost any Batman figure. So many ways to utilize him and keep the leotard figure 66 specific displays.

When Mars go all out they really nail it. It's a shame they didn't just redo 66 Batman & Robin and 89 Joker from scratch. Still happy with those figures but Joker and Riddler now just look a level above their recast figures.
 
I think the price point for the set will still be cheaper or equal to Hot Toys single figures. I'm thinking $225-$265 which is well worth it in my opinion. I do agree that they should have considered offering a single unitard version and a deluxe version with both for those who don't want both. I'm still not sure how I'll display both, but I do like the idea of having both - same with the three Catwoman versions.
 
The Riddler does make sense to have two versions of since he had two very distinct looks. Part of me is glad to get both since I probably would regret passing on one or the other down the line. I just hope that the price isn’t too crazy.

I will say though I hope when Catwoman is made we get three separate offerings and not a three pack. I commented on a post from Mars last night and brought up Catwoman and they replied that all three versions will be made.
 
If this line is as successful as it seems, and keeps going strong, will WB step in with an infringement claim?
Will Hot Toys (do they still have rights?)? Or Jazz, who are paying for the license protest?

What's the most figures in a single franchise, a bootleg company has managed to churn out?

This is one incredible figure set. I can't believe you get everything in one box!

That's fantastic, because for Riddler I was having trouble trying to decide which single look I would want for display. I prefer the green Mob Boss look but the leotard is the more iconic look. Having both looks for this particular character just makes sense.

Mars :rockagain!
