Why has the Romero joker thread been closed @Asta ?

I was updating it with the new photos.

To preserve images in threads they have to be downloaded from Facebook first, then uploaded here. There were over forty photos so I wanted to make sure they all went up in order.

Awesome thanks.

After the Joker PO, I hope they update this and Penguin... maybe they'll have a better idea how these will do in the market.

The actor himself seems to have a big noggin and it probably just looks even bigger at 1/6 scale

I seriously feel the pain of this - my head circumference is about 28 inches - I shudder to think how large a 1/6 scale sculpt of my head would look.

I too have a big skull which I inherited from my dad. Also, our skulls are extremely hard. My dad slipped climbing the stairs to his front door and hit his head very hard against the stucco. He's 87 years old. I took him to emergency and the doctor said his hard skull probably saved his life. He's my hero. I would like to have a 1/6 scale figure of my dad so I can pose him hitting his head on the stucco.

I hope Mars Toys does not include that pixelated backdrop in the final product. Just kidding, just kidding.

I'm thinking of picking this up and using it for a custom Commissioner Bele from Star Trek TOS episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield".

Mars and EXO-6 should team-up to get as many shared 66 Batman/Trek cast member to us as possible .

( not complete^, eg; Elisha Cook Jr (Starbase Lawyer), Shauna, Nona, Yeoman Mears, and other lovely would be molls, several Red Shirts/ henchmen, window cameos like Ted Cassidy, etc. and others I missed.)
+
Including Batman 66 crossover William Shatner as a retroactive live action Harvey Dent Two-Face! Borrowing a face sculpt from his sensational over-the-top Enemy Within performance, and costume from Piece of the Action
Which was absolute brilliant animated casting, 50 years after the fact ...


Also with all these shared actor going between 66 Batman and Trek; Montalbán should have played the Batman66's version of Ra's al Ghul

(though he didn't actually debut in comics till the 70s )

Especially considering where our old lord and master works now...

This is promising:

David Stephan
Please pay attention to scale-Gorshin was 173cm, Meredith was 168cm and Julie Newmar was 180cm

[Mars Toys liked the post]


(It was also unexpected if you recognise the name)

Wow! I never noticed that before. Great detective work, Mondragon!

That's awesome Mondragon but I gotsta get me a King Tut!

This is a fantastic sculpt. They would have to do the laughing face as well, but really this captures the dangerousness that Gorshin brought to the Riddler. His portrayal always had that gangster vibe as opposed to straight villain.

Mars Toys just shared an update to their Riddler on FB. After seeing the height difference, I had to Google Frank Gorshin's height (5'8") and Caesar Romero's height (6'3")
I am guessing we are now getting a suit and spandex version. I couldn't be more excited about this line.

That looks soo good!

The only 1:6 I’m excited for is the 66 line. Star Wars has gone to Disney plus hell and nothing else has my interest. These 66 figures are great. Hopefully we can get the main villains and bargirl, commissioners Gordon, and Alfred.

Coming together nicely. I’ll probably get both versions of Riddler since he swapped between the suit and spandex. One cool thing about ‘66 Batman is the use of vivid primary and secondary colors.

Very excited to see the full gangster suit Riddler.

This makes it very tempting now to get in on this line.

I started rewatching the Blu-ray series a week ago in between other things.

The Riddler was in the first episode wearing both costumes:




As with the Joker variants I'll buy every variant of every character Mars make.

I bought the Mars/Saturn Batman and Robin because they looked too cheap not to buy. So along with Hot Toys' Batman and Robin, and all the versions of the villains, they can be split up into different displays.

I still can't believe this is actually happening, and that Mars are so into the '66 series.

Eager to see Penguin a little more finished now... and of course a Catwoman tease.

Yeah while a little surprised by the scale at first, the hight difference seems an ok match for Romero & Gorshin.
Absolutely love the mobster suit look for Riddler.
