SUPER AMIGOS RIDDLER
Surfacing in 1989 along with the inferior copies of most of the Super Powers figures, the Riddler figure was exclusive to the Argentinan Super Amigos.The Super Amigos line was produced by Pacipa apparently in conjunction with Kenner, at least by the sale of old molds. The plastic used for the figures was cheap, resulting in the figures being somewhat bendable and paint flaking off over time. The Riddler was nothing more than a repainted Green Lantern, albeit in a package with new art. For some reason, the Riddler's lower legs are a slightly different color green than the rest of him.
As
if it wasn't already tough enough to find one of these guys, when Playfull
took over the line they created meaningless variations such as the miscarded
Riddler on Joker card (in Spanish). Only time will tell if this becomes
the one true grail of the Super Powers Collection. (The preceding was totally
tongue-in-cheek, so please don't write telling me I'm full of beans. I already
am well aware that I'm full of beans.)For more information on the differences between Super Powers and Super Amigos, go here.
