Mars Toys 1/6 Riddler (Frank Gorshin)

[Asta]

That's the 2nd to last episode, right?

After the movie, that cross tie style must have become the standard, because in the early episode it looks like this in the back...

Different shade of purple/lavender too.

This is from S01E11 "A Riddle a Day Keeps the Riddler Away" showing the laced cummerbund:

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's how mine was, though they took the time to tie the spare thread with a bow.



The bag was with the thread underneath the cat suit figure.

Ah, OK... they also made a nice bow on my extra string.

Oh no, I have the baggie, but what are the little extra black button tabs for?

Didn't notice any of those on his jacket so maybe they're for his waistcoat?

When I get the second set I'll have him with his jacket off, which I didn't want to try with the current one since it's already fitted so well.

A 2nd set of TWO? So FOUR Riddlers? Wow... going deep.

I'm going to guess the black tabs are extra buttons for the black shirt. I checked the vest and it has sewn green buttons.

I really like the idea of the boxing outfit, so that was the driving force. For the price it seemed just as well to get a full box rather than one figure.

Plus I'll have spare heads in case the mask stains.

Ah, yes, that makes more sense.

 

[Wor-Gar]

One more shot of the two unfutzed, straight from the box yesterday...

Tempted to take off that cummerbund since I want to re-tie it and see if he's wearing pants + shirt or a genuine leotard.

 

[Captain Clown]

Tomorrow night I should finally have mine… hopefully.

Roads are much safer to travel now so I can pick him up.

It’s a genuine leotard with a hole (sewn up) in the bum that the figure was put through.

Dino said he probably couldn’t do any better with the mask than Mars did so at this time he won’t be making them.

OK, thank you for that. Saves me the hassle of discovery.

Welp, time to start looking for a lavender material to make a mask of my own. Finding the right color and material will be the hardest part.

Was his mask silky... or flat colored?

Yep. I think he could make a better one but he may not consider that particular item in his wheelhouse.

 

[Captain Clown]

Dang, that sucks. Dino could totally do better - it just needs the right eye-holes, and a thicker/softer material.

Guess I’ll be going the homemade route too.

 

[Wor-Gar]

If its just hanging around the neck loose, anyone should be able to cut material to shape.

For a proper fitted mask, well, that's much trickery. The cut edges may fray if the wrong material is used.

Well, it was worth the try. I still think he could do better, but you're probably right that he "may not consider that particular item in his wheelhouse". The Mars isn't hideous, so it will do. I just think Dino could do it better. Thanks for checking into it for the group.
