The Riddler! Custom "Mego" Action Figure Packaging! BATMAN 1966! DC COMICS!

I've already tackled Robin, so here's my custom packaging for the new Riddler action figure, from the BATMAN 1966 line! Once again, the fine folks at Figures Toy Company have turned out a wonderful item, but their original "blah" packaging that accompanied it just had to go. So, I created my own dynamic card on which to display this colorful character! Click pics below to enlarge!

Above: The actual figure and package, as offered
to a panting public….I can do better...


Above: The custom backer card, featuring a colorful image of a manic
Frank Gorshin ("Riddler") against an eye-popping pop-art background!
Tons of color-correcting, painting, and effect-adding went into this one!

Frank Gorshin as The Riddler! Fan-Made Resin Model Kit! 1966 BATMAN TV Show!

POW! It's the great Frank Gorshin as The RIDDLER, from the far-famed BATMAN 1966 TV series! Here's the classic Batman foe, as portrayed by the wonderfully manic actor, boldly embodied in this well-sculpted, fan-made "garage kit!" This resin kit was painted up in acrylics and enamels! Click images below to enlarge!

Above: I painted the figure's costume using flat greens, with added glosses for the shoes and belt..



I purposely attached the lower arms to appear slightly
flexed outward, adding to the maniacal look of the pose!


I also added gloss touches to the hair, teeth, mouth, and eyes!
I detailed some smaller areas with marker....






All the question marks? Done with paint marker, including the tiny ones
along the sides of the costume! The mask was made
with bristol board! I loved the look of
it draped around the neck..

BONUS! Click below to enlarge this pic of the unassembled kit! Note the original pose, with arms reaching for the neck and mask!
