    I liked these pictures of Robin enough that I pretty much immediately got online and ordered it. My only issue was that they used oven mitts instead of the molded gloves like the rest of the young Teen Titans figures. That was an easy enough fix by ordering a set of them from Classic TV Toys that I plan to paint green to blend the figure in a bit more with the rest. I'm very happy that they have churned out a child sized version of Robin.

    I'm still on the side of hoping the Super Friends Robin comes out on the smaller body. There has been discussion about this on here. The pictures of the prototype seem to hint at it. And that would be accurate to the cartoon as Robin is usually shown almost a head shorter than Batman.

      I could live with it being a camera issue... But with the side by side Photos next to the Mego Robin and The FTC Kid Flash... unless half the camera or half my eye is working... That's a really disproportionate head lol

          Look a tad odd with the big head, but not bad.

            I got mine yesterday, and I think they all look really good. (I remember actually drawing the bat emblem on my Mego Batman when I was a kid after the sticker fell off, copied out of a reprint of old Batman stories, so these were an instant buy for me.) Gotta hand it to them, they know how to keep me buying these things.

              LOL! I understand. But note on the Kidflash figure, his head is on the under-sized scale (even smaller than the original Mego Kidflash). So it will naturally read bigger on Robin. And in the picture with the Mego Robin he is closer to the camera while the Mego Robin is more in the background. I completely get what you're seeing because I see it in those pics too. But I'm holding him in my hand with those figures for compare and it doesn't contrast nearly as bad. I think there's more you can make of a head size when you can move it around versus a static pic that manipulates optics based on the arrangement and depth of field. But I do understand your point of view since these pics certainly play to that notion.

                I got Batgirl in the mail the other day. I'm going to open her up tomorrow. That's great news that we're getting FA Bat woman. I'm looking forward to see what she'll look like. Robin looks great btw. He looks so much better with his eyes whited out.

                  Sorry if my picture are distorting the scale. I think Robin looks great in person. That is FTC's Kid Flash, not Mego.

                          Got mine FA figures set and I do agree with what others have stated. Robin's head doesn't look as big in person as in the photos. His suit and shoes are really nice! Not thrilled with the way Batman's cowl fits (and it's very stiff) and BG still has that "too tight" body issue that makes her almost impossible to pose but all in all this is a pretty nice set and the card art is great!

                            Is the robin head the same as the others?
                            It looks the same yet it also looks scaled down.
                            Action Jackson is his name.
                            Bold adventure is his game.

                              I didn't compare them out of the package but holding them up next to each other it looks like its the same size.

                                It looks to be the same mold.
                                I was just wondering.
