    I also got my 5 figures on saturday.Very nice ,Batman,RC Batman are very nice,Although as others stated,the cowls should have been shaded
    like batgirl ,Batgirl is the best of this set,she looks fantastic,no neck issue ,black & yellow with blue cape -nice contrast.The robin as mentioned
    does have a large head,but not to bad .Outfits for green & yellow caped figures is fantastic also ,love the new rubber type shoes.very nice
    packaging on these figures .Oh and i think standard batman should have had white out eyes like they did for Robin.ill be buying another
    Batgirl & a robin ( perhaps a green cape ) for a loose set.But the Batmans dont look that much different from the earlier ones ,to buy them again.if
    they shaded the cowl and whited the eyes on the standard i certainly would .Great work FTC .now bring on the batcave..

      I just got my Robin yesterday. The head is indeed too big. I keep thinking/dreaming of a way to scan the heads in and print them in a smaller version with a 3D printer.

      The scanning is the part that scares me. I keep getting a relatively inexpensive 3D printer showing up in my Facebook feed.

      Information on your M3D Crane Series printer.


      Has anyone ever tried this though? Has anyone ever tried to scan a head into a 3D program?

        Thank you! I was wondering if anybody else was going to mention that. It IS BIGGER than the original Mego Robin.

          seems like an acetone shrink and repaint would be easier.

            That's what I was going to say. I have some shrunk Robin heads. One with a removable mask.

              But I'm trying to justify getting a 3D printer.

              You guys aren't helping. LOL

                Does anyone know why FTC didn't just use the Korak action figure head for the First Appearance Robin?

                The hair is about the same and the scale is pretty much perfect.

                I was thinking about this over the weekend and seriously considering getting a Korak and dressing it as Robin.

                Oh, and then painting a pair of Aqualad gloves green so that he matches the rest of the young Teen Titans figures. (Jeffrey Logic)
