    The Riddler as portrayed in Batman the Animated Series

    Here we have my favorite visual representation of the Riddler. I simpy love the crisp, clean look of the the suit and the bowler.

    He is built on an original Mego Type 2 body with Castaway hands painted purple; white CTVT shoes; cane modified from a Batman Forever Riddler action figure; jacket from CTVT; suit and paints by yours truly; and head from a Riddler candy dispenser released with the Batman Forever film.

    Riddler as seen in BTAS:



    My custom BTAS Riddler:



    Nabbed by Batman and Robin:



    Five incarnations of Riddler: (left to right) as portrayed by John Astin from the 1966 live action series; as seen in the opening credits of The New Adventures of Batman 1978; as seen on Batman the Animated Series; Mego Fist Fighter; as portrayed by Frank Gorshin from the 1966 live action series.



    I never thought in a million years that I would have 5 variations of the Riddler in the Mego-style format.

    Here is the candy dispenser I used for the head. I molded it, cast it, modified it, remolded and recasted it:



    I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do. And, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos,

                  Great work! I always thought those Batman Forever candy dispensers had really nice sculpts. You should make a Two-Face!

                      Awesome! I love the Megoesque look of him. The stretch pants are exactly like what Mego did with the Joker.
