    OK. That looks pretty nice for a base. Drop the mitts and that's a great figure.

    So, if his eyes are whited out, why not Batman?

      Yep, that head looks too big and way too elongated. I'm going to switch it out for a casting of the hasbro golden age head (After I extend his neck)

      But bottom line, I still brought it and the green caped one. It's good that they did a boy scale Robin.

        After those pictures I went ahead and ordered the yellow cape Robin. I did order a pair of Aqualad gloves though to paint green. That will make him a better match for the smaller Teen Titans figures.

        I ALMOST ordered the Batman, but in the end, he isn't really different enough from the previous figure to make it worth the while. If they had painted his forehead black and whited out the eyes, I'd have probably bought him. If they had used the 66 Batman cape on him or sold that separately, I probably would have gone for him too. When I ordered Robin, I did ask if they were planning on selling that cape separately. It would be great if they did that cape in different colors, but they may be holding back in case they decide to do the Rainbow Batman figures someday. Or at least do a Batman figure in black. Images of Zorro the Gay Blade done as Batman flashing through my head.

          I love those Robin boots!! Awesome pics, thanks! I'm curious about something:Are those green female gloves,or actually scaled down patterns of male gloves?

              Oddly enough, those boots aren't really accurate to the first appearance. The points are higher and go up one side. But they still look great.

                Nice looking figure, but the head looks even bigger on that small body.

                  Exactly my thoughts T! Molded in Red & Black...

                  These Robin boots look amazing! I just wish they would scale them up to 8" figures... My dream Robin figure would be rendered in the 8" scale, be sculpted with parted hair and non-smiling and look like the Neal Adams Dick Grayson Teen Wonder Robin... And of course wear these boots properly scaled up!

                  Mickeymoosemego please tell your pals at FTC / CTVT to scale up those boots to 8" figures please!

                      They actually fit eight inch figures. A little tight at the toe area, but they definitely fit on them.

                            I'm assuming the new booties mold might be used for Poison Ivy, too?

                              I'm thinking they might be used for the Super Friends Robin too.
