We've seen enough of the "kid" Robin (which is what the original Mego was based on). I think alot of people would love to see Robin as the "Teen Wonder" for today's generation. I think this figure should be loosely based on the Superfriends Robin. I think fans would be pleased with that interpretation especially since the new Batman will be inspired from that same show.

How do you want Mattel to handle Robin?

My guess is that it will be in the Super Friends style, but a Titans sized Robin would be neat (and would also mean the release of other Titans).It's all good!Comment

I think they'll deifinitely go with the classic "I dressed up the sidekick in pixie boots" look, as everything in the line is evoking the 70's. I don't know if Mattel is planning on doing a teen body, but I'd really like that version, especially if the rest of the classic Titans are in the plans. It was one of the major holes in the Mego line, with adult sized Robin and teen sized Titans.
Of course, I expect to see some changes in his head sculpt as for example a hair style like the Perez Robin and absolutely NO COWLICKS. Needless to say, no oven mitt gloves. They can also cover his legs with flesh color spandex like in Green Arrow arms and maybe even his arms if they are to pursue the vinyl gauntlets as in previous figures... The short green sleeves were too long on the Mego figure so I look forward to more acurrate sleeves...Comment

Perez 8" is fine by me. Would Mattel spend the extra money on a new mold for a smaller Robin? I kind of doubt it.Comment

I think they would if the other Titans were in the works. Given the fact that they are amongst the most desirable of the originals, I'd think Speedy, Aqualad, and Kid Flash are shoo ins with their adult counterparts already in the mix.Comment
