Hauling a short train of presflo wagons Doncaster 9F 92198 is at an unidentified location. New in October 1958 the loco was withdrawn from Frodingham in August 1964 after a working life of less than six years. Four years later the last few members of the class of 251 locos were withdrawn from Carnforth Shed at the end of steam.

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 :)
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!
The Riddle Brothers settled here along the Little Blitzen River in 1900 or so and lived here for 50 years. The BLM maintains the ranch now as an open-air-museum.

I updated my own version of riddler.
I like the way the hair looks.
The hat is inspired by the old Adam West riddler top hat.
Please comment if you are going to favorite.
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.
Two-Face, the Penguin and they're goons have raided nearby warehouses and cargo ships and are now making off with they're valuables aboard a hijacked cargo ship at pier 34. This is a diorama of Gotham City with the dock and cargo ship being the center point. Along the dock from left to right is a cargo crane, a warehouse, and a shipping firm. In the background from left to right is Gotham City Bank (which was just robbed by the Riddler), the Gotham express train, and a small parts shop with an apartment complex on top. In between the bank and the shop is a background city scape with the bat signal high in the sky.
Riddle me this, Batman!
Intelligent but highly narcissistic, the green suited Riddler is one of Batman’s greatest foes.
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.

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.
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!
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.

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.

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

Riddles 9F 92237, built at Crewe Works, has received an overhaul at Swindon Works. Allocated to various sheds in South Wales, the loco carries an 88A Cardiff Canton shedplate, which dates the photo to November 1958 and September 1962. The loco was noted in Swindon A Shop on 4 March 1962 and soon after is the likely date of this picture. Like most of the 9F's, 92237 had a short working life of less than 7 years and was cut up at nearby Cashmores Newport scrapyard in late 1965.
