Figurechick presents “World of Batman”, a new series of figures, mini-busts, maquettes, and statues about Batman and related characters and comics, as well as in the movies and television shows.

The first line in figurechick’s “World Of Batman” series is “World Of Batman: Jason Todd”, a line devoted to the character of Jason Todd, who is the second person to be Robin, Batman’s sidekick. This line includes a mini-bust of Jason preparing to change to his Robin costume; a maquette based on Jason’s early appearance in the comics, wearing a costume he would later don for a brief period as Batman’s sidekick before becoming Robin; a figure of Jason as Robin; and a mini-bust based on Jason’s early years as Robin from the animated movie “Batman: Under The Red Hood”.
