    New Teen Titans Nightwing Reveal!

    Having a little trouble with the link - EH

    The good folks at Figures Toy Company have shared with us an early look at the highly anticipated wave of Teen Titans action figure with this pre-production shot of Nightwing. This figure is submitted to the licensor who then may insist on changes prior to factory production, so while there may be changes to the…Read more →

    I can't freaking wait to see Firestorm.

        I like it in general, but he collar is too big, and I'm not sure I wouldn't have preferred a really deep navy blue instead of black. That's always hard to say, because Perez spotted a lot of blacks, so it may have been meant to be black with blue just for highlights, but later on, much like Spider-Man, the black just became dark blue.

        Perez's initial collar wasn't THAT big. Others drew it that way, but I preferred his version.

            I know, that is one of two peeves I have with this figure. Along with that huge gap between the neck plug and the collarbone.

            Maybe the collar is a bit much, but it doesn't look too bad.

            At least the head is in the right proportion to the rest of the body.

              Pros: It's Nightwing, a Teen Titans character and must have for any Batman Family / Robin fan.
              Cons: Open Mouth Face looks like "Duh!" instead of A confidant Dick Grayson, Collar is WAAAAY too friggin big,
              and the sleeves stopping short of the gloves, what is that all about.

              If i purchase this one, it would have to be "bagged, not carded" as I'd have to spend the money saved on fixing the figure.

              Still fingers crossed for Raven ( my second favorite Titan after Cyborg) and Starfire........

                  That is an awesome Ace Frehley....

                  Seriously, it's pretty solid. Very strange trend forming where everything from Korak to Nightwng types are really proportional, but adult males are still roulette.

                    The upside is it looks like the collar isn't hemmed, so its size might be fixable with a quick scissor trim.

                    I agree, I think I'd have preferred it in dark blue instead of black.

                    Overall, though, a solid figure.

                      I can't understand why FTC insists in sculpting open mouths...
                      It really takes away from an otherwise great figure...

                        No inside knowledge on this, but it isn't impossible to see them doing a navy variant of the outfit at some point.

                          I agree with the dark blue instead of black (the two action figures I have seen with this costume were dark blue), however I think the collar is fine. Yes, it is too big, but I think that actually adds to the retro, Mego feel. Just seems like something they would have done.

                              Nice figure. The black should be dark blue. Not bothered by the big collar or open mouth. Is Dick yelling "Titans Together"? lol

                              Let's see Starfire and Raven next to complete Series 1!

                              What will tomorrow's Friday announcement be?

                              Cyborg, Pa Kent, Space Ghost figures, and Nightwing reveals have made up for blood-spitting KISS 12" Demon last Friday for me.
