    Mint Off Card: Mego Riddler


    Mint Off Card takes a look at the latest figure from Mego, the Riddler from their DC Comic Line. How does he stack up to the classic World’s Greatest Superheroes figure?

    This is my favorite Mego DC figure so far...that head sculpt is freaking amazing! Great video!

    My #1 most wanted DC Mego is Mr. Freeze!

      I really like this, too. There's a certain (Bronze-Age?) Riddler panel of him winking that this reminds me of, I can't recall the artist.

      And this makes me excited for Penguin--I anticipate liking the head sculpt and fingers crossed on the soft goods. I'd certainly like Mr. Freeze--that's a glaring omission from any reMego lineup.

        I like the head sculpt, too! He kinda reminds me of Jack Nicholson....... But why does the packaging says, 17+? Do they think anyone younger will choke on it??? LOL

          I honestly see zero Nicholson in the sculpt and it baffles me every time someone says it. Sure, big smile and slicked back black hair with receding hairline, but The Riddler was known for that long before Jack was. If anything, Jack looks like The Riddler.
          Expectation is the death of discovery.

            Great video for a GREAT figure. I can't wait to get mine! The sculpt is extraordinary. It's a perfect synthesis of Golden Age Dick Sprang and Silver Age Carmine Infantino.

              The Riddler image I was thinking of is from Batman #179, Jan 1966--Infantino I think.
