First Appearance Robin

[pmwasson]

I took some [large] picture tonight of the 6", yellow caped, first appearance Robin for Figure Toys Company:

Everything fits very nicely. The belt is nice and tight (adjustments for looser or tighter). New 6" Robin shoes. The suit fits perfect. And the head sits firmly on the body (unlike some of the recent 8" FTC figures).

With Mego 8" Robin:

Looks like a kid next to the Mego Robin, which is good in my mind. All the greens of the new Robin (shorts, sleeves, gloves and shoes) match perfectly.

With Mego 8" Batman:

Fits in great with Batman. Even has new 6" oven mitts!

With FTC Kid Flash:

And he looks good as a member of the Teen Titans.

Overall he is a great figure. The body feels solid and I think he looks great. The hair does have a two-tone shading effect, but its not as drastic as the prototype pictures.

I think this is one of the best "original" figures FTC has made!

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the back of the card shows (among others) a prominent picture of Bat Woman.

Great review, it looks to be a nice figure. I'm surprised by the new shoe tooling.

Silver-age Batwoman? Not much of a fan of the character, but I love her costume. Looking forward to seeing how they execute her figure.

I was going to stay away from these FA figures, but I'm just about sold now. Great review and nice pics. Thank you!

wow, actually looks better than the prototype, wish they would have junked the ovenmitts, tho. They really drag down an otherwise nicely detailed figure. Wonder where else they will use those new shoes? Harley?

Great review! Mine are coming in the mail today so I'll do a complete pictorial of the set. I like the production fixes to what worried me about the prototype. The paint apps on the hair and mask are especially clean. The tailoring looks very nice and I'm loving those shoes. The belt is a nice touch (note the yellow buckle is now square as opposed to the circular version on the prototype). Looking forward to opening mine today! Thanks again for the review!!

Hey guys, why the red collar? What am I missing?

[MIB41]

^^^ Bob Kane use to illustrate him with different colored collars. Sometimes he had a red or green collar. Only later did they settle on yellow. I'm thrilled they were able to play with that since companies are usually pretty strict on the style guide.

Thanks for posting those pics.

I have resisted buying one remego after another for the past couple years, but I am near the breaking point.

Isnt the head a little excessively large, it seems bigger than the original, personally cant get excited about these figures.

At first I was thinking giving it the 66 treatment, but now I am leaning towards the same style gloves as the rest of the TT clan. The head being larger doesn't bother me, I have always thought the TT male heads were a smidge small.

^^^ I think the molded hand/gloves would have been a nice touch. I might fiddle with these a little and look in that direction. Cool figures though.

Now I'm tempted by this. Dagnabbit!

Looking forward to mine, although I do think the green cape should have come as an accessory with this figure, rather than be a separate figure altogether.
