I've been hoping for a nice Clea figure forever, and so excited for this one to show up! It also combines my two favorite hobbies...comic books and heavy metal   |

What a great Riddler, @supercat2099 ! Yeah, I think they really got this one right! Isn't the Riddler just the best? |

New Bat toys day! I love the look of these Glad you like the figures, but that Riddler is just so wrong in so many ways, starting with his body, since for most of the Riddler's published existence, he was never a muscular character. I'm not sure of that Riddler card was a pack-in with the figure, but its from the cover of Batman #179 (March, 1966), illustrated by Gil Kane with Murphy Anderson inks:
Again, not sure if the card was a pack-in with the figure, but if that's the case, using a late 60s, very Silver Age cover with that period's Riddler to pitch a decidedly non-Silver Age Riddler was wrongheaded. Or, perhaps it was a stab at trying to appeal to older adult collectors who might be familiar with the card's source?
Personally, I believe the best Riddler figures (in the 6-inch scale) were from DC Direct's First Appearance wave from 2005:
Not too scrawny, and just a slight muscular build like the 60s - 70s comic version.

I like the First Appearance line too, I have a number of those in my collection. And if we're comparing cool Riddlers, this one (picture from my collection) is one of my all-time favorites:  |

One of my favorite DC figures I have is in fact a First Appearance line one, I saw this Composite Superman first in Wizard or ToyFare back in the day and it was a must have:  A few more from the collection, I particularly like the Captain Marvel:  With the current McFarlane DC stuff, you have to remember they are not going strictly classic in many cases (much to the chagrin of some old school collectors for sure), the Super Powers reissue Batman I posted a little while back being a notable exception. While I too have passed on a lot of their "reimagined" approach on stuff, the Riddler I posted channels enough of Batman #317 for me, an incarnation I have a lot of nostalgia for (the earlier version card they included just is what it is, not sure why that versus something closer, but not really a thing for me either):  |

Just in... Two-Face, dressed as Batman (sort of), and staying at the Barbie Dream House. Things are a little weird in Supercat's toyland...  |
