    Strange Robin from Puerto Rico

    Hey all. I've gotten my hands on a bizarre Robin from Puerto Rico. It is 7.5" tall with the Type 2 body. The head is not the standard Robin head and says Lion Rock on it. There are no gloves, but it has green hands and the wrist things like Green Arrow. The shoes also look like they may have laces. What have I stumbled on here?

    I think you've got a custom. The shoes are interesting though.
    Fresh, not from concentrate.

      That has to be a custom job. The shoes are weird.

        To me, it looks like regular Robin shoes that have had a section from the top middle removed and then sewn together so they would be the right size to stay on the LR feet.
        ALL HAIL MING!

          I, in my own opinion still think is a nifty looking figure.

              Thanks. The seller swears it is an attic find. Vintage custom?

                Hi David,
                1. The shoes are rubbery green vintage "Francie" mod shoes(there's a pair on ebay right now). It appears that someone clipped the top of the shoes off to make them look more "Robin"-like. I have a few as well, they fit perfectly on the 7" lion rock figures.
                2. Without any hesitation, it's evident that the cuffs have been taken directly off "Green Arrow", and likewise the 8" inch duds from "Robin", and then simply place onto the lion rock body.
                3. And finally, the head is "Johnny Action", the British Lion Rock military dude. Vinnie from vinsuniverse on ebay has a cool one painted green as a Beast Boy custom on auction right now. However, they're more commonly found on the UK Ebay.

                Fun Mystery Solved!

                    Its a custom my friend, Im here in Puerto Rico and can assure you that its a Lion Rock head, Mego Robin outfit with Francie booties and Green arrow arms,...something like this was never sold here, only either Mego's or Lion Rock Soldier figures.
