    Robin arrived today, and WOW, is he great! The head sculpt really evokes and surpasses the old magnetic figure, the suit is well-tailored and the colors really pop, and the belt, gauntlets and shoes are top notch. My only quibble, and it is a minor one, is that the collar on the cape is just a little bit too big. All in all, this is the Mego Robin I have always wanted.

          They released him as horizontal?!? I don't understand why they made him incompatible with my vintage vertical figures. Hard pass. /s

              I think I may switch out his shorts with green pants and boots to have a more modern look! Anyone else try that yet?

                I needed a good laugh today, so thanks for that!

                Mego really did a great job on this! I appreciate you posting pics, Krypt0nite.

                  Just got the notice mine was delivered too. I was going to buy the FTC Super friends Robin, so glad I waited because this Robin looks great!
                  Wanted:

                  Diamond select Spider-man hands. Long shot, I know...but ya never know..

                    Thanks, Krypt0nite! I almost gave in and bought Robin from a place that had (emphasis on HAD) Robin in stock, but I will be patient and wait on BBTS.

                    I am really looking forward to comparing him to the FTC 8" Teen Wonder Robin, which I think is a fantastic figure.

                      I agree that the FTC Robin is a great figure, but I think the head sculpt, the belt, and the tailoring on the Mego Robin is superior. I'd give the edge to the FTC as far as the cape is concerned. I'm using the cape from the Super Friends Robin on my Mego Robin and love how it looks.
