Mars Toys 1/6 Batman Forever Riddler

[Dash]

I know this is a pipe dream, but there's a Robin Williams Riddler headsculpt that's on Ebay right now...

...wouldn't it be so cool if a Robin Williams alternate head was thrown in with this? Then you could have a "Tim Burton" version of the Riddler, from the "Batman 3" movie that never happened, if Schumacher's movie isn't your thing.

I'll probably grab that head and pair it with this figure, for a "What if..." style figure to go with my other Burton figures. Only problem is, the head is sold unpainted, so I'd have to commission someone to paint it for me...

(The same artist also has a Billy Dee Williams Two-Face head, but I don't think it'd match well with the aesthetic of Tommy Lee Jones's costume. You'd have to go with something a lot more like the Billy Dee Williams Two-Face from the Batman '89 comic continuation that came out last year).

If we're going to go the alternate movie history route, then I'd kill not only for the aforementioned William's Riddler and Billy Dee Two Face, but a Nicholas Cage Superman.

I wasn't sure which thread to post this in, but I got the Toyz Trubo Two-Face figure today, so I thought I'd share a few pics.

Overall I like it. The costume is spot-on, though that tie is a real pain to futz!

The face sculpts aren't perfect though, and the serious face is definitely the better likeness of the two. Maybe with a professional repaint it could actually look great.

The accessories are alright. The guns are just generic rather than resembling anything he used in the movie. The coins are nice, and he holds them well. But the diamond - he can't hold that in any hand other than the flat palm really.

My main complaint actually is that he's really short next to Batman and Robin. I wish he were just a touch taller, so he'd at least be the same height as Robin. But I guesss you could fix that with a taller body if you really wanted too.

I think I'm going to keep him, but I'm really hoping that the Mars Toys version blows this one out of the water.

My only worry with this was that he’d look puny next to the oversized Kilmer Batman.
I’ll wait till Mars does one before bothering with any ankle extenders or a larger body.

Thanks for the review, SimonAT! Nicely covered.

He does look quite puny next to Kilmer Batman, sadly....

That's a shame. But a Mars Toys TF or Riddler likely won't scale any better -- that HT Bats is just way over-scaled. Not only too tall, but just too large overall.

That's a great picture above to show that.

How does Tow-Face scale with other figures? Do you old HT Keaton Bats?

Sadly, I think you could be right about that, Wor-Gar. The HT Kilmer Batman will likely tower over Mars Riddler and TF too.

I don’t have any other 1/6 figures to scale Two-Face with unfortunately. I hadn‘t owned a HT figure for about 10 years until now. The Batman Forever figures drew me back in.

Well, the paired Bats and Robin look really good on their own. You'll have to pose your villains on another shelf apart form them, that's all.

TLJ Two-Face would scale good with Keaton Bats. I have the Returns one and Robin's just a smidge shorter.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Excellent. On my shelf, it will be Keaton Bats who goes up against Riddler and Two-Face... as it should have been.

Imagine if Mars did the '89 Comic Two-Face~

 

[Wor-Gar]

Need this now...

Yeah! Day 1 PO!
Just rewatched Forever last night. Doesn't deserve the hate.

If you can, a repaint of the scarred side does wonders.

I'm a little concerned about those toothpick legs from the knees down. I know what they're going for because Jim is a lanky guy but that looks a bit too skinny.

Maybe it's just the angle. Overall though, it looks fantastic and I'm just waiting to throw my money at this guy. Love what Mars is doing lately.

I think Black Manta is supposed to ship soon too!

Actually…. I did!

That’s my Instagram account. I should’ve thought to post pics here yesterday too.

It was the first time for me painting a 1/6th scale figure, and I found it very daunting. Luckily it’s difficult to go too wrong with the Two-Face scarred side. I’m really pleased with how it turned out though!

Here’s the pics individuall:
