Robin

[sprytel]

My son's favorite superhero is Batman... which sort of by default has made Robin my daughter's favorite. They have been bugging me for a Robin to go with their Megos and Retro Action figures. But I have never been a huge fan of the Mego Robin, so I decided to put my own spin on it... something closer to the "first appearance Tim Drake" style, which has always been my favorite look.

Head and mask is CTVT.
Body is from Mattel Retro Action. For Robin, the lean athletic upper body seemed like a perfect fit.
Suit was my first attempt at sewing spandex, and I now understand why everyone complains about it!
Awesome decals by pmwasson.

Nice! I like Tim's first suit too.

Robin turned out great. If only Mattel had given us this figure.

Figure looks great - I also agree why couldn't the retro line do a Robin? least they could have done is sold it on line.

Well done!!

Which CTVT head is that?

Alan Carter from Space 1999... or as he is known when buying just the head... "Serious Male".

I like it a lot. Well done!
I have been thinking about doing the same thing with a Dick Grayson head. I think it has some of the playfulness of early Tim Drake.

Very nice. I like that look for Robin, as well.

Excellent robin.
That has to be my favorite suit as well.

That turned out great. I, too, have never been a big fan of the original Mego Robin. I much prefer yours! Nice job on the suit, too!
