I'm still waiting for the last batch of black slopes and some other parts to finish the Endor trees. Meanwhile, I tinker a bit with an old idea of mine. Well, more of a dream than an idea.
Anyway, the riddle is: what is it that you see in this picture? What is my LEGO dream? Hint: what you see here is exactly the same diameter as the real object - 146 mm or 5.75 inches.
No prize for the winner; just satisfaction ;) .
Doing the job they were intended for, Riddles '4MT' 2-6-4T no.80080 storms away from Irwell Vale with the 15:55 Bury-Rawtenstall train.
SDCC time again, and what a disappointment... again.
I think by now it has become more than obvious that Lego doesn't really give a damn about the European collectors, fans and customers - or anyone living outside San Diego or NY, for that matter. "Build hype and excitement around the brand", "Creating brand awareness", they say. For whom, if I may ask? For those attending a convention? Why the public announcements then? Why the "limited" issues flashed before our eyes? Why not just giving away limited batches of ACTUAL products that will be released in the following year? What the heck, even BrickArms does it like that and still gets a great deal of "hype" and "brand awareness", I might add. What is this, some sort of "look what a cool minifig we can design, but hey, you'll never get it, because it's limited and hey, we also have to leave a bit more to be squeezed out of the character in the following year... Maybe a printed leg here, a different torso there..." ?
I just learned that a Batman/Riddler/Flash set has been announced at SDCC and will be out in 2014. Apparently, it will contain a hotrod for the Riddler. So here's some "hype" marketing on my side. By the time the set is out, I'll get you a proper minifig-scale hotrod for the Riddler and I'll give away building instructions for free - yes, for FREE! - just so you won't have to buy that set! The little hotrod in the image is just a preview, but I promisse the minifig-scale version will be more than just a joke meant to sell 3 minifigs.
Obviously, this is just bitter irony, as most obviously you WILL pay the money for the set just to get the minifigs that everyone wants... Because you know that is all that "Batman: The Riddler Chase" is about, right? I might be wrong about all of this, but the fact still remains: It's just frustrating to see a brand that we all love - and promote, I might add - going... "limited".
Enough debate, I'm back :)
The Riddler is finished! He has no hat...but I can't do anything about it so he just has no hat. I need to work on getting him a better shirt....but he'll get there.
What happens when you cross Betty Page with the Rocketeer? Sprinkle in a little bit of Paris, too. What do you get? Magick!

Here are some custom henchmen for my custom Riddler that will be coming soon. I had these extra pieces lying around, and I wanted to give my Riddler some reinforcements. Three more will be coming, I just have to get the parts for them, and then a group picture, with the Riddler and the henchmen will come too. Then, I'm going to work on Harley and Joker's henchmen. Comments are very appreciated.
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a huge Riddler fan. (My favorite villain.)
This mini-shelf represents a small number of my Riddler collection, with a custom Riddler trophy I received today, special ordered from Etsy. It features an AC power cord, so it can be on all the time!

Riddles '4MT' 2-6-0 no.76079 passes the old trackbed at Moorgates with the 15:56 Grosmont-Pickering train. The old trackbed is the original Whitby to Pickering railway built by George Stephenson and opened in 1836 as a horse drawn tramway. After being sold to George Hudson, the so-called ‘Railway King’ in 1845 the line was upgraded to use steam locomotives, before being superseded by what is now the NYMR 20 years later.
Left to right:Enigma(based on the comic book Batman:the savagery of the sensei.
Riddler:duh
Eddy:just someone I made when I was bored.
Enigma and Eddy will show up in my takeovers for GCW3.
Riddle me this, Batman!
Intelligent but highly narcissistic, the green suited Riddler is one of Batman’s greatest foes.
9F 92034 is seen heading a fast fitted freight in the early 1960's. Built at Crewe in December 1954, 92034 had the dubious distinction of being one of the first 9F's to be withdrawn from service in May 1964. She was one of the batch of Eastern Region 9F's to be condemned in that month, the others being 92169/70/71/75/76/77.
Although WR 9F 92223 had been officially withdrawn in February 1964, it was re-instated and transferred to the MIdland Region at Tysley (2A) and surviving until Aprill 1968.

I redid the torso and for the most part fixed the bumps on the torso.
I also completely remade the face and I think it looks a lot better.
Oh, and I customized the hair a little to look more like the YJ version.
Got no Lego ideas, have some art. Drew this on a whim the other day, will probably do Teams Penguin and Joker as well, cause my idea of Batman Villain allegiance is still entirely reliant on the Lego Batman Video game.
-Mister Freeze was pretty much directly inspired by the Big Daddies in Bioshock.
-Tulip-Headed Poison Ivy is something I started drawing a couple years ago for some reason and I never really looked back.
-Riddler's sporting a look inspired by the outfits the Droogs wear in the original Clockwork Orange novel, as well as some Daft Punk/Whoden from Wicked + The Divine. Definitely sounds like Bill Cipher in my head.
-Clayface is the Basil Karlo version, here he's still morphed into a mud monster, but is trying to keep a semblance of his humanity while still masquerading as the monstrous killer from his hit film The Terror.
-Two-Face will always be Billy Dee Williams to me from now on. Look inspired a little from Scarface, as well as some Tim Burton. Wen't with blue burns cause I like and it cause of BtAS. Started putting a normal and upside down cross on my Two-Faces a long time ago and now it's a trope of mine (despite the fact that they're not actually opposites/reversed cross isn't actually Satanic, Satanism has nothing to do with Satan etc. that's a talk for another time) Also has a Yin-Yang cause of Batman Returns.
And yeah, pretty happy with how this turned out for the most part. I'll probably post the other two on here as well if ya'll want (or even if you don't cause it's my page. Ha!)
All of this was done in Micron pen and Copic Marker. on 9x12in Canson Illustration board (Not that y'all care. Heh.)
Lemme know what you think, and cheers!

I had some reservations about this figure, he seemed very lazy on Mattel's part, after all, I already had the excellent wave 5 version, this was just re-paint, filler, meh. You know what? After getting him in hand and despite a wonky leg due to being incorrectly placed in his tray, I really love him. There's something silly, yet iconic about him and the head sculpt is bloody great. He could be the surprise favourite of the wave...
Took this pic with the 'proper' camera, the D31000.
Yeah not my best custom but I still like it
As you can see his head and torso are painted.this is inspired by both his Arkham look and his long Halloween look
Not satisfied with him but I think he's decent enough to have his own picture
As always express yourself on the comment section below
Um... what was the question, again? I kinda got distracted. /flirting ;->
UPDATE: The Rule 63 Riddler was featured in Uproxx's Unite The Seven In The Funny And Awesome Cosplay Of The Week (03.18.2016). Thanks for liking my photos, RoboPanda & Uproxx. :-D
The LBM Riddler with purple gloves, because for some reason Lego decided that one spot of purple was enough
A replica of a bullet riddled ambulance is presented in the inner courtyard of the Geneva Town Hall. This exhibit in a historic building of the old town is linked to the 150th anniversary of the first Geneva Convention.
