I've had this in my cart 3 times now, entered my address, then get to the credit card page, see 52 and change and simply cannot do it.
I understand the costs of this figure, a special sculpt commissioned for a run of 1000. But at the 40 dollar price tag along with the really high shipping rate, just pushes it over the edge for me.
Not to come off as rude but I could walk into a post office and ship it cheaper. And surely you guys have a business agreement with a shipper for reduced rates. I just don't see how shipping cost 13 bucks. You guys are a comic shop, I'm sure you have ample amounts of boxes and packaging from your shipments.
Sorry, I have really wanted his variant since the line started, but I can't help but feel I'm paying through the teeth and then some.
The best Riddler to me was always masked,so its hard to justify buying another oneComment

and let's face it...Batman 66 is pure niche...Those who want every variation will get EVERY variation.
Those who want just a core set will get just a "core set". this came to me when I re-watched the Batman 66 movie on Blu-Ray last Sat. To me, having a decent Batman/Robin, and the four villains as they appeared in the
movie would be good enough for me. YMMV.Customizing 1:9: My Videoblog journey of Customizing!

I too am in this minority..I prefer "tights" Riddler over "suited" Riddler, but that's just my personal preference. and let's face it...Batman 66 is pure niche...Those who want every variation will get EVERY variation.

Emerald City / Chad posted "We will start mailing them out ASAP — beginning of next week at the latest" on Thursday December the 3rd.
Check post #37. Since a few members had posted they received theirs apparently they did started shipping late last week.
I had ordered a couple of these figures and had received no tracking numbers. You may call them and ask for a tracking number but chances are you may receive your figures before you do so.Comment

Love that Riddler! Ahem to borrow from his villainous partner in crime. I received my variant Riddler today and I have to say he is a gorgeous figure to behold.
Here's a shot of him carded. Yep, I had already opened him and applied the hat to see if it would fit and it was perfect!
His head sculpt is very well done with some soft paint accents on the cheeks and eyes (sorry they're not showing in this lighting). The hat is made of soft rubber, similar to the Penguin's and fits nicely on his head. His tie is nicely done with a black elastic band under the collar. His hands are also the molded glove variety. The jacket fits perfectly which gives him the proper range as shown in this shot.
His shoes are a green variation of those worn by Alfred or the variant Bruce Wayne. No socks needed here.
Upon removing the jacket, you have a very nice vest with a beautiful pattern on the back. Both the jacket and vest close with Velcro.
As stated, I received #13 in the limited run. I want to publicly thank Doug and Emerald City for the kind words they both expressed to me for supporting this figure and the FTC line in general. It's very much appreciated guys!
And here is the back of the card.
Overall a very sweet figure that really buries, in my opinion, the first edition model. I'm very glad I got him. If I'm ever feeling the need to show him in tights, I might just put this figure in them and customize a mask to go with him. It's a very nice figure and I think most everyone will be very pleased. My apologies for the low lighting in the shots, but I hope it was informational as intended.Last edited by MIB41; Dec 9, '15, 8:31 AM.Comment
