Mars Toys 1/6 Riddler (Frank Gorshin)

[Mondragon]

The green, question mark suit is awesome and I prefer that over Carey’s spandex leotard and Blazer combo so I may need to get this just so I can dress Carey up like less of a hair-metal band frontman.

If the clothes fit. The Carey figure will probably be much taller.

Me at first confused with 66 on the brain: Are these two talking about Molly, who inspired Carrie? Did she also dress up as Riddler?
Yeah, I know you mean Carrey in Forever.

So now I want a Molly the Moll/(proto-)Carrie figure!

Wait -- Mars confirmed Riddler is a 2-pack?

More pics from Mars Instagram. Someone can probably get better pics from their facebook

The masked sculpt looks great to me. Limited posing with the eye direction though

Speaking of eyes - what is going on with the eyes on the hatted sculpt????

 

[Gipetto0812]

hopefully we get a 3rd headsculpt with the eyes placed forward.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Jeez, I hate those eyes. I’m not sure about that weird mouth sculpt either but I could live with that. Those eyes though. No figure should have eyes painted looking off center IMO.

Yes, it's just been confirmed again:

Yeah those eyes are unfortunate. Also torn on if I want a double pack. I like the option of both looks but don’t necessarily want the added cost of buying two figures.

The eyes have moved downwards on the twisted lip sculpt, which has changed his expression from evil intent...

...to, "I've just been rumbled!"

I haven't seen a confirmation but it looks as though he has movable eyes.

The initial angle on the open mouthed sculpt made him look suitably manic:

From this angle he looks manic, but not in control of his faculties:

With this one again, the eyes have moved downwards.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yikes -- they really screwed up the eye placement on Riddler.

Just put them back the way they were on the sneering sculpt, they were perfect.

 

[davejames]

I'm... not really feeling either of these sculpts. The laughing one seems way too soft, and the sneer just seems like an odd choice. I know it's based on that one promo pic, but they didn't replicate it that well with those big crazy eyes he had, and so the expression just seems odd as a result.

Might still be worth picking up for the outfits I guess.

 

[lordnastrond]

Yeah the angle of the eyes ain't great - but it isnt a deal breaker for me.

 

[DCFett]

Yeah you can see what they were going for, but it ain’t hittin right at all. You don’t experience FG in such an expressive frozen face so this throws off the FG sculpt quite a bit. Not saying his face never looked like this, it’s just that in my minds eye, I don’t see that when I think of FG.

 

[DCFett]

“I can’t believe that rat is STILL alive!”

If it’s a rolling eyeball thing I’d be pleasantly surprised.

Call me mad, blind or stupid... but I just can't see how they will pull off a PERS in this head sculpt, the hair is too slicked back and short to hide the seam.

To answer your question, here's a rough mockup.

May as well check the Riddler's prostate while you're up there.

Riddle me this...

Mars, was it really wise
To change the Riddler's eyes?

 

[Chopper Face]

How long must we lie till Mars reads our lines and they realise the need to reallign the Riddler's eyes?...
