    Nice I really like this version. Purple arms, that is an interesting pick.

      Nothing beats the original. Far more charm. A classic head sculpt. Love the original Riddler.
      However, glad that they did an alternative version, so as not to compete with Mego's original, and the FTC Riddler figure.
      The same goes for their updated versions of Batman and Superman.
      I suppose FTC having already made these, there was little point in Mego bringing the same versions out again, although the quality would have been a lot better. Having said that, I understand that FTC is now using better bodies.

              It looks nice, but my OEM Type-1 Riddler still does it for me. Pass.

              I don't understand why Mego doesn't fill holes on villains, instead of repeating the same Villains in 8"?
              First we get Riddler, then Joker,....what's next Penguin?

              Why not give us Killer Croc? Black Mask? Deadshot? Deathstroke?( which have movie / TV Show tie-ins and are recognizable to Non Mego faithful
              ( movie goers, video game enthusiasts) as characters?
              that would help with 1. giving us characters who aren't rehashes and 2. GROW the Brand.......

                  Actually you are getting the Penguin next too. I wish this riddler was different from the neck down instead of a repop of the old Mego

                    Killer Croc, Deathstroke, possibly. I would welcome Bizarro, Poison Ivy or Mr Freeze. But I think, rightly, that Mego Corp's DC releases will be tier 1 & 2 characters, just as with their 14" line. These have the broadest appeal.

                      What gets me is I thought they could only do the JLU. Riddler & Penguin did not show up in the JLU, they did have a major role in the Batman TAS but again this are based on the Super Powers and not the DC Animated Universe. I am so lost...

                        I have no idea why this rumor continues. JLU design was an in-house decision. It was never a restriction.
                        Expectation is the death of discovery.

                            Jack Nicholson is... THE RIDDLER!

                            Card art has a lot to be desired. Fine figure.

                              Great pictures and a GREAT figure. Probably the best looking figure I will soon own, and I own a LOT of Riddlers. Bravo.
