[NewForce]

hello all...
our friend Rudy has a loose RM Robin on ebay that is pushing $1000!!!...

If the mask is truly original then you got an amazing bargain.

I compared it to the mask cut on the mego museum, and it appears 100% identical (same eye slits, etc).... the elastic is a bit stretched (doesn't fit snuggly) but I would bet it is original, as the Dr Mego mask looks significantly different (IMO)...
wow...guess I am grateful to the seller!

I like Doc's mask better though. It's a truer fir. The original is what it is.

did you get it from a seller in GA?

honestly don't remember, but I am sure I saved my payment record....why, is there a story behind a GA seller I might need to double check my records over?

it wasn't an ebay purchase, I don't believe...it was via ebay, I bought some, and asked if he had others... I compared the mask to the pics in the gallery, and looks legit to me?
here is a pic:

thanks...as mentioned, the masks (repro vs original) are like night and day to me when I look in the gallery, so I am pretty sure it is original (99%).... wow, I guess both the seller and I had no idea of its value

Man it looks way to much like he is wearing a sleeping mask. Looks more like he is getting ready to go to bed and get some zzzz instead of fighting crime

[NewForce]

looks ligit to me.....the mask and figure do. The box of course is not original to the figure....but @ 3 bills a very nice deal for you! I sold a nice window box version for a grand not long ago and a loose version for 4 and some change...so you really did well.

rc...this is the box that came with the figure...from reading the box descriptions on the museum, it does say that some RM robins came with the first issue window box (the one with Cap on it)... is this not that one?
while I love the figures, I am not an expert on packaging..
thanks
