Top 13 Robin Action Figures
As part of his 80th anniversary Robin Week, 13th Dimension's Dan Greenfield asked me to compile my list of the Top 13 Robin action figures. I tried to be all inclusive, so there are some newer figures on the list, but the classics shine through!

Great list!
My favourite will always be the Mego Comic Action Heroes version. Partly because it's the first ever Robin figure I ever owned (closely followed by the WGSH one), and partly because I just love the CAH scale and overall design of that line.PUNY HUMANS! -
Wonderful. I'm also partial to the FTC 66 Robin, but he's kinda a rerun of the 1/6 on your list. I own a few on the list outside of Mego, not a bad one in the bunch IMO.Comment

Yep! Comic Action Heroes Robin is actually quite amazing when you think about it.
Multiple plastics and rubber to get the tunic textures right, and if you look reaaaally close, you can see sculpted eyeballs through his mask sockets. They really went for an amazing level of detail for a figure that came out in the early 1970s.Comment

^I will admit, he was on the initial list of about 22 or so figures, but got bumped off. I was trying to include as many other Robins beside Dick as I could, for at least one figure, to be fair to the wider readership of 13th Dimension.
One minor quibble that always bothered me about the CAH and PSH Robin: His lack of sleeves. It was suns out, guns out in Gotham! And Robin was taller than Batman!
I still love mine, and did as a kid.
