belt loops

[NEW BATMAN]

yep that all-stars robin look minus the pouches... it's funny the card is all stars but they're label it as rebirth it's just odd.
overall i like it but i'll wait till they have a sale so i can get pass the price, it's too much for me for now.

Take your pick. Robin is just a new head sculpt on the Carrie Kelly body. He could go with Detective Comics #1000 Batman to pass as All-Star Batman or the repaint of the bronze age look as well as Year 2 Batman. Maybe they will make an All-Star Batman since this figure resembles the All-Star Robin and that is the art they used for the card and packaging.

Essentially, none of the above for me.

DC 1000 repainted Batman is almost primitive by comparison. Y2 has enough QC problems to put me off it. Blue/gray Hush Batman is too tall. From what I’ve seen almost he’s almost .25 inches taller that Hush Superman. Pass for me. My default Batman is currently Rebirth.

i think hush bats being too tall would work since robin is also probably too tall

[Tommy Tomorrow]

Naw. I’ll just hold out. Missing Batman in this line is like missing a bus. Another one will come by shortly.

Pre-ordered Blue Kyle and KC Bats which were kind of wants to help with shipping, which was still hefty.

Anybody got some headswaps in mind?

Ideally I would really like something like the dcuc wave 10 robin with the side part

Might be one of the few passing on Robin. Maybe I'll regret it later if someone prints a better head sculpt but the stock one is bugging me. Not sure I like the body proportions either although I get why they re-used the Carrie Kelly sculpt.

Nah, I’m in this same boat as well. If Robin matched the artwork on the card I’d be in immediately, but this head sculpt to me seems more like Damian or a goblin. At $20 I’d grab it, but $35 shipped is too much.

Well, despite the packaging identifying him as "DC Rebirth", the artwork is from All-Star Barman.

That would be, essentially, Hush Batman with a different bat symbol shape and vials on his belt.

Sinclair couldn't decide whether to color him blue or gray for cape/cowl/gloves/trunks/boots.

This Robin figures matches some of the artwork from the All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder series by Miller & Lee. Lee drew Robin with his hair parted in the middle and on the side as well as his belt having pouches and not having them. The head and hairstyle matches the cover to issue 10. The belt loops are included in pics as well as previous statues made of the characters. This is the outfit Carrie Kelley would have gotten in the Bat Cave to wear in DKR, so it would match that figure as well. I included some links since I do not know how to post images.

Just checked the McFarlane website & Robin is sold out.

[hbprops]

Damn, kinda frustrated to be honest. I was on the McFarlane page from minute 1 but for whatever reason when I went to pay, the last section for “payment” never loaded. Just kept buffering. I kept checking back all day and same thing, never loaded to let me finish checking out.

What is the likelihood they ever go back up? Or am I doomed to pay scalper prices on eBay?

Kind of demands an All Star Batman doesn't it.

And to see it has sold out, not surprised at all. Robin sells.

[alanjg1]

Unfortunately I was late to the party on this one. I definitely would have ordered a Robin but when I went to the website, I saw it was sold it.

Do sold out figures, ever get resolicited down the line? I added Robin to my wish list but don’t know if that will make a difference.

[jaygarrick1940]

If you find it for less than $35 on ebay, it's a better deal than on the McFarlane site. Also, if you just want the body to do a head swap, see if you can find a Carrie Kelley figure. It will probably be less.
