    We won't know the true scale until we see them actually side by side.

    Robin for Superfriends should be on a regular 8" male body; he was the TEEN wonder in those, and actually referred to by Batman as such, and was only slightly shorter than Batman. Sizes changed from scene to scene, but he was definitely too tall for a 7" body, which would only put him around 5 foot 3 inches. And the head is definitely a bit larger in comparison to the body than the others, but not Alfred bad.

    As for Marvin, I see a real possibility for a new body there. Someone mentioned the Scooby gang in an eralier post, and I realized a slender male body would be usable for both Marvin and Shaggy right off the bat.

      I think thats what FTC stands for "For The Customizer." Buy our product to use what parts you can to make something actually good.

        Just "what" exactly megomania?? Not everyone dislikes these because you say so. Robin looks amazing! If you and some others don't agree I'll sleep just fine.

            I actually thought they had said Robin would be on the 7" body at some point. I've been wrong before.

            But in that scale the way another poster posted, he does look very good next to the others.

                I think that they look pretty darn good! Though, I could do with a different expression on Superman's face.

                Rampart, this is Squad 51. How do you read?

                  That has been talked about for a while, a Robin to fit in with the 7" Teen Titans.

                  My best guess is that will be the exclusive figure that comes with the Teen a Titans van.

                    I do not buy FTC products, but I certainly commend FTC for providing so many new toys for collectors to choose from.

                    If one does not like what FTC is putting out or the prices, I'm positive you can try and put out a better product and see how far you get.

                      The Accessories alone that they sell, you can use to build AWESOME Custom figures.

                        What about the body they used for Korak? Wasn't that a slender body? But the same height, I think.

                          It is slightly thinner, but still way too buff for Shaggy or Marvin. I think it would work nicely for Robin, though, making him seem a little smaller than Bats, even if the height is about the same.
