Another
tough to find villain has joined my Batman: Brave and the Bold ranks: This time in the form of The Riddler!
The Riddler came out when the line was
dying dead as part of the final 'Stealth Strike' assortment. He was the only non-repaint-Batman of that wave, so he was short packed and sold out relatively quick. I did see him on the shelves once or twice but didn't bite, and I regretted that decision until I was finally able to find a mint specimen (sans accessory) for super cheap on eBay!
His design is straightforward and simple like all the Brave and the bold figures, and he of course has those crazy hex holes on his arms, legs and back, but I just love his head sculpt! Whatta widow's peak!
The Riddler makes a great addition to my growing Brave and the Bold rogues gallery, which also includes
Despero,
Gorilla Grodd,
Black Manta,
Metallo, and
Solomon Grundy!
AND...He is Stealth Strike! You cannot get much better than that....Ok maybe Arctic cold Riddler might be better but...
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah, he's super stealthy with that green leotard and all those question marks!
DeleteBuilding yourself up a nice "Injustice Gang" Eric. : )
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteThat is a very cool Riddler!
ReplyDeleteI really like his head sculpt. So Silver Age!
DeleteCool Riddler!
