    El Acertijo de Coleccion Super Amigos aka Super Powers Riddler

    Name:
    The Riddler

    Origin:
    Surfacing in 1989 along with the inferior copies of most of the Super Powers figures, the Riddler figure was exclusive to the Argentinan Super Amigos.

    Figure Stats:
    He is a repainted Green Lantern figure that was only released in South America. The Riddler's lower legs are a slightly different color green than the rest of him.

    Comments:
    This line is one of the rarest of Pacipa's Super Amigos line, the Argentinian version of Kenner's Super Powers Collection.

    I was inspired to make this just a few weeks ago by my Facebook friend Mike Miller. He made one, along with the Super Powers "gold" Superman, that was just spot on. But, I didn't want to make an exact copy of his (he made a Mego-style version of the actual figure) so I made a Mego-style version of the image used for the packaging.



    El Acertijo is built on a ZICA body with painted hands; head is a repro Mattel GL head painted by me; boots Castaway Toys; Suit by yours truly; belt from CTVT; and boot decals by me.



    here with his crossword puzzle goons



    nabbed by Batman and Robin



    never thought I would own six variations of the Riddler in the Mego format



    and here is Mike Miller's version that inspired me to make mine

    Custom Mego, Highland Heights, Ohio. 2,117 likes. Custom made Mego Type figures from the 1970's - 1980-'s with cloth clothing and stand about 8" tall.




    I hope you enjoy my obscure villain variant customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

    Austin

      Very nice, and great group shot as always.

      I'll also note that the recast/repainted Mattel GL head looks great; I think that shows that skin tones/opacity can work for or against a sculpt.
      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                      Big fan of these. So many fun variants that can be produced. Are you out of the suit game entirely?
