Agreed. I don't necessarily think the phrase of "striking while the iron is hot" works with this line. Of course, now that we've got a taste of a high quality 1/6 '66 villain (Joker), many want more and now, especially with the teasers we've seen. However, the ppl who want these figures will more than likely buy them whenever they're revealed. Like you said, you've (and most likely others) have waited decades for these figures, and if it wasn't for MarsToys, folks would still be waiting/hoping that a company would be interested in making these guys.
If you only want them b/c they're the new and exciting thing but your interest wanes so quickly when it's not revealed fast enough for you, then did you really want them at all? Mars has obviously been working on multiple things behind the scenes that they didn't show us teasers for which I think is fine. I mean, look how long it took '89 Mob Joker to go from sculpt teaser to actually being put up for PO. Classic lines like these are timeless. The only possible issue is the ppl who like these versions of the characters literally dying off
It's true -- most have been waiting since 1966 for these, so a valuable lesson in patience-reward.

I've been waiting since HT revealed their Romero Joker...and then killed the line. I can definitely be patient with the line but seeing the Riddler and Penguin protos just has me itching to order them...and to see the Newmar Catwoman!It's true -- most have been waiting since 1966 for these, so a valuable lesson in patience-reward.

I don’t know…
Oh well... so many Bat-promises. So many POs to make. Impatience at critical.

Good morning dear community, I was the one who messaged Mars Toys on Facebook and Instagram asking when we would get the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) - got the message above.
Delay or not - we already know from Hot Toys. But lo and behold, weren't we almost done with the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) and the Penguin (Burgess Meredith)?!
Mars Toys has without question created a masterpiece with the Joker (Cesar Romero). It came unexpectedly overnight. I'm listening to Bob Marley now and trying to be patient.
Nevertheless, I find the statement somewhat unfortunate in retrospect - see above.
Feels like Mars Toys have taken on too many projects.
They already had their hands full with Batman 66 and 89. Then came the Bond and Last of Us announcements. Wonka came out of the blue. Who knows what else they're working on.

Until I see a huge drop in quality, they can announce as many as they like, as far as I’m concerned. Bring it on.

I will continue to keep an eye on Mars Toys. I'm just a little surprised - regarding the announcement. Mars Toys was almost done with Riddler (Frank Gorshin). In addition, the pictures in a few previous posts were from October last year. I wish from Mars Toys - not to announce so much, to continue to have very high quality and to focus more on the pending announcements - for example the Penguin from The Batman.
Yep, that's why I've gotten so eager. It's been a very long time... and they teased these (Riddler and Penguin) long ago with near-complete protos.
I do believe Mars is really pushing the envelope with all the "franchises" they have announced and have to deliver. They're my new favorite 1/6th company... but I fear many of these teased figures will just never get made.

In fact, I also (now) have a very strange feeling about some of the announcements made by Mars Toys. They definitely stole my heart with The Joker (Cesar Romero) - they caught my full attention again with the prototype versions of Riddler (Frank Gorshin) and Penguin (Burgess Meredith). As Mars Toys wrote on Facebook, the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) will be out in March or April - I'm in seventh heaven. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed now. Doesn't mean keeping an eye on Mars Toys. However, I don't really like being fooled.

I already know these games from Hot Toys!!! Would you like an example? The Vulture from Spiderman Homecoming!
My mistake was trusting Mars Toys for what they said.
Pretty stupid. 
My mistake. 
I can’t even imagine a more legitimizing release for any new 1/6 company as that Romero Joker is for Mars Toys so I still have full confidence in them and that what they teased so far will get made. I really want to make as many purchases from them as I can in order to support future releases.

Mars Toys will definitely not release The Riddler (Frank Gorshin) at least in April as promised. After it was written on Facebook that they want to release it in March or April. Mars Toys don't want to be liars? But why can't you inform the community that there may be problems in production and the release will be delayed? I have written to Mars Toys again with the information I gave you myself. The answer from Mars Toys was:
Can you still be taken seriously? NO! 
A shame. But I'm still glad to have The Joker (Cesar Romero) in my collection. If this is how Mars Toys treats its community...
Good night. However, I fear that some releases will probably never go into production. 
No offense, but you shouldn’t take it that seriously. Just relax and wait. You haven’t even invested any money yet. Obe month more or less is really not important. The turn around for Joker was pretty fast. Personally I prefer this over waiting over an year after habing placed a preorder.Mars Toys will definitely not release The Riddler (Frank Gorshin) at least in April as promised.
