Mars Toys 1/6 Riddler (Frank Gorshin)

OSK?

I must have just missed it or I’m stupid and can’t find it on the site. Do you have a link?

Is anyone seeing astronomical prices for this figure? Sugo Toys has it listed at $450 (AUD), which is just utterly ridiculous. (That's a full $100 more than their Prank Villain from last year). Was it at this price upon commencement of pre-orders, or does this price reflect late pre-order? (Sugo Toys still has it scheduled for Q1 2025.)

I pre-ordered from Sugo a few months ago and it was $400 AUD, which is in line with the $264 USD price originally listed at OSK after currency conversion. I got the second-to-last one available, so they might have obtained more stock and bumped the price up, or perhaps a bunch of people cancelled. They may well have had their usual limited initial discount on top of that, but that would have come and gone long before I pre-ordered mine.

Yeah, but Riddler is a 2-pack of figures, 3 heads & a lot accessories; Joker was 1 figure~

At this point, I wouldn’t even bother with a PO. I don’t think we’re getting this figure

Starting to feel that way as well. All the excitement I had for this 1966 line has faded away with Mars inability to finish things. They're great at digital 3D rendering teasers...manifesting them to POs and released figures...not so much

They seem to release their figures in waves. They just released 2 figures.
Pretty sure we will see ~3 figures after Chinese New Year. Maybe 1 or 2 even before. This one and Wonka seem to be next in line with Biff, Doc and 2-Face soon after. Though I expect Biff and Doc to being released with Saturn Toys Marty and Doc, so they may get another push back (?). Meredith Penguin not before the end of 2025. 2026 more likely if they don’t speed up their game. Personally I wouldn’t worry too much about an „IF“ but more about „WHEN“.
Of course everything just my educated guess.

I hope you are right. I can wait...I'd just like to know for sure that Riddler is coming and Penguin eventually. I really want a Newmar Catwoman but at this point I'll run out of life before they get that produced...

Mars is just super slow at times. The Gus Fring they recently released was first up for pre-order at least a couple years ago. Maybe longer.

 

[Berry The Music Man]

I want them to be as nice as the 66 Joker , if it takes longer I'm fine with that .

 

[Wor-Gar]

Mars has become a lot like waiting on a custom run. I suppose in some sense, it is.

I don't really agree - for one thing, the NRD on mine was only about $30 and I'd get it back if the figure's outright cancelled. And there almost definitely won't be a second run on this, so I'm happy to have one secured.

I'm willing to wait for these '66 characters... I just wish they'd get on with it.

I’ve been wondering if maybe they were a little too generous with the price. It’s kind of a steal for 2 full figures. Maybe the production costs jumped up a little more and faster than they were expecting. I still think it will release. It might just be taking longer to put the capital together to finish it off. Just a guess

Someone made a post on Mars' Facebook a little while ago asking for an update on '66 Riddler.

The post was deleted, so this policy must be still in effect:

Meanwhile they continue to tease brand new figures.

 

[JacktheRipper]

...and release poop. Biff isn't really good product.

 

[JohnnyStarTrek]

The wait for Riddler has been so long, I'm "over it". I'll honor my commitment to Kit, but I wish I could cancel & move on already~

If this doesn’t get released within 6 months, I’d say the figure is canceled at this point and we should all get our money back including NRDs

I'm still in for this Riddler but the luster is definitely fading as I really need Penguin to complete the trio. I've even dialed back my need for Newmar, recognizing that it'd be a minimum of three years fore that would see the light of day...

 

[Wor-Gar]

I really need Penguin to complete the trio.

Even if PO'd tomorrow, you likely won't have him for 1.5 years. So you're looking at 2026... and Trump tariffs.

Yeah, and that's probably optimistic... So much promise for this line
