Type 2 Robin with Plastic Snaps...

[Blue Meanie]

Don't know if you can tell with this pic but the "end of the line" T2 Robin has a much darker shorts and sleeves then a earlier T2 Robin. The one to the right, as you are looking at the picture, is the T2 Robin with Plast Snaps. Definitely looks to be the "end of the line" do to the snaps being plastic...but I just noticed as I was taking the pic that his head is slightly smaller. Oil shortage may have had something to do with it. Head also has that slightly slick feeling to it:




Got it on ebay a few months back. I had the shorts in my collection for about 5 years or so. The auction I won had the Robin with just the top. I noticed that the tops sleeves looked darker than normal. In the auction was a Batman that was hammered...but the head was in nice shape. The head on bats was darker blue in shade to what the normal Batman heads colors are. If I get a chance I'll take a pic of 2 type 2 Batman heads. Interesting how Mego started changing a few things near the end.

That is interesting.The head is definately smaller,the sleeves are longer and the color is darker.The head also has a more shiny, oily look to it.

He should also have the fabric/cloth emblem and thats what piqued my interest,because i know i have a cloth emblem Robin,BUT,does he have plastic snaps?

Or the smaller head?

I dont know for sure.

Bad News,in order to find out,i think he is in HERE.

I bought this guy in a Ebay lot 4 or 5 years ago.BM jogged my memory about him.I knew he had a fabric emblem which is what all plastic snap Robins have but i couldn't remember if he had the plastic snap or if i had even noticed what kind of snap he had.

I was really expecting him to have a metal snap but to my surprise he does have a plastic snap.
