Seller notes
- Only 4 parts — quick to assemble and verify completeness. Make sure all pieces are present before listing, especially any printed or unique elements.
- As a vintage figure (2006), condition is critical. Check for yellowing on white/light parts, joint tightness, and print wear. A figure in excellent condition can sell for well above the average.

Look for the BrickLink ID bat017 — it's the definitive identifier for this figure. The Riddler - Black Hair is made up of 4 parts (a standard minifigure assembly). The parts breakdown on this page shows each component with colors. If you have a loose figure and aren't sure what it is, the brick'em scanner can identify it from a photo in a few seconds.
What's the best way to sell The Riddler - Black Hair?
List it individually on BrickLink with the ID bat017 — buyers search by part number and will find it. Include clear photos showing condition. At $33.65, it's worth the time to list separately rather than bundling. If you have several Batman figures, listing them all at once saves on the per-item effort.
Does condition matter for The Riddler - Black Hair?
At $33.65 average, yes. Buyers at this price point expect a complete figure with all accessories, no major scratches on printed elements, and tight joints. For a figure from 2006, also check for yellowing on white or light gray parts — UV exposure over time causes discoloration that significantly impacts value. If you have the figure new/sealed (averaging $38.49), keep it protected — the premium for mint condition is significant.
