Mars Toys 1/6 Riddler (Frank Gorshin)

[More Battle Damage]

Ii have been waiting 15 years for this combination of figures! Yes, Riddler is not perfect, but I doubt we will ever see another one, so I will take them both! Ahhhh! Feels like a grail has finally been achieved. Joker was great, but Riddler was always my favorite, from the very first episode. Everytime I see this pose, I hear him giggling.

I am assuming both figures have the same internal bodies. The one below seems much skinnier to me, especially the arms. Gonna need to recolor the shoes and gloves on the figure below.To me, he just oozes personality.

Penguin and others would be icing on the cake at this point (or in 2 years). but I am one happy collector today

Pose undecided.

Argh! Just took this guy out of the box. Unfortunately he came with a broken peg. Looks like I have to undress the fat suit in order to switch it. Even worse, there are no extra pegs…

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's a great picture, despite the aggravation. Really shows the detail in the sculpt.

 

[More Battle Damage]

Put a hatchet in his other hand and bloody up the stump. It will look like he wanted it that way

Such an awesome set. Insane value, and a great likeness. Love how much stuff this comes with.

Now bring on Penguin!

I love your first photograph. Not only have you captured the Riddler’s body language in the pose but it is shot from an angle that looks like the old tv show. Brilliant!
Thank you for sharing.

Definitely stealing this pose @Captain Clown. Just goes to show that total body placement including the legs can truly make or break a head sculpt. It's giving Charlie Chaplin vibes, but it totally works with this head sculpt and fits the spirit of Gorshin's Riddler perfectly. Simple, yet so effective, phenomenal!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, great poses Captain!!!

 

[davejames]

Pretty happy with these figures too. It's been hard to settle on a pose though, especially for the suited figure.

I'm still not crazy about the smirking expression, but I barely see any Gorshin at all in the neutral one so there isn't much choice but to use it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Great poses, dave. I really like the last one for the suit.

I just received my Riddler this afternoon and it appears that I am missing a pistol. Did anybody else get one of these or what?

It should be in a bag between the figures.

They didn't account for the flame when they designed the packaging.

It’s also been taped under the suited Riddler in various places on the opposite side of the clamshell.

Thank toy.
Found it.

Extracted the broken peg today and had to unclose the figure. Everyone thinking about doing so, just don’t. It’s a pain. Still have to retie the purple belt. But at least the peg is switched. I have switched a few broken pegs in all these years. This was the toughest one to get out. I really feared I’d break the arm instead…

Oh, wow. The pant and shirt ARE separate? I thought they weren’t when I took a peek. This will make the body swap I want to do much easier.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Same here. Thought it was sewn together. Body swap here I come. I absolutely hate those ankles and the under padding they used.

Now what’s gonna be the best body for this?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks for that confirmation of the separate top and bottom, King!

 

[p3ss3ssod]

Very interesting! I'm just thinking of separating the sleeves from the body of the suit to free up the arm movement.
