The Riddler as portrayed by John Astin and inspired by Megoknight

[megowgsh]

Here we have the Riddler as portrayed by the talented actor John Astin for the old Adam West Batman show in the 1960s.

He is built using an FTC Riddler figure substituting a Classic TV Toys Richie Cunningham head repainted by yours truly. This was inspired by a similar version made by my good friend megoknight. And, it will do me just fine until Figures Toy Company comes out with an official release.



with his buddies Across and Down



with his predecessor (and successor) as the Riddler, Frank Gorshin



Riddler watch out for Batman...



...and Robin!



And, this is how the Joker and Riddler would have looked together if they had made an episode teaming the late Cesar Romero with John Astin



Here is John Astin playing the Riddler





Thanks to Lee/megoknight for the inspiration.

I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do (even the kitbashes like this one), and, as always, thanks for looking!

Peace, Love and Megos,

Austin

Neato!

[thunderbolt]

neat figure, really like his henchmen, too.

[madmarva]

Very cool, Austin. I like the henchmen, too. Always taking it to another level. What fun.

[fallensaviour]

Nice figure and Richie is becoming the new astin...lol
I love it might even make one myself.

[sprytel]

Based on the side-by-side with the Gorshin Riddler, I think I prefer your Astin Riddler.

[KosmiCKennY]

That is riddlelishious! Never realized how much that Richie head looked like Gomez Adams until this

[Grimjohn]

Absolutely fantastic!! I love the henchmen!!

[TrekStar]

That came out very cool, also like the henchman Across and Down, I think we need someone
to create the custom Batman villains henchman collection, I think someone already did Penguin
henchman earlier, so maybe it's already underway. yeyeyeye live action! sorry folks, watching
an episode of Turtle man, got carried away

[Earth 2 Chris]

Outstanding as always, even though Astin as the Riddler always bothered me. The three Mr. Freezes, not so much, but Gorshin was my favorite Bat-villain on the show, so anyone taking his place is going to pale, to me.

Despite all that...you nailed him!

Based on the side-by-side with the Gorshin Riddler, I think I prefer your Astin Riddler.

With all the battles going on, I didn't wanna say it, but I agree. Looks awesome.

[Neutron X]

I like it! I want to try it too. Now I "m wondering if the head will also work for a Gomez Adams custom?

[noelani72]

not only do your figs turn out wicked cool, but the finesse of the backdrops and other figures just ices the cake.

[newlyknighted]

Your customs are Always inducing feel Good fan boy feelings!

Gotta agree; it looks more like Astin than the regular figure looks like Gorshin. A really good job on capturing him. And I love the henchmen!
