    I'd say classic TT at lion-rock 7", New TT at basic Mego 8".

    But other than Robin, I'd rather se a lot of other charcters first!
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      i think those 13" figures still got it wrong. Robin's face is older and yet he stands shorter like he's only 14.

        Would like to see both. Maybe one solution to this is to do all of the characters in the Perez style. All of the original 5 characters appeared in the Perez book, all drawn very well. Any representation of them would do well to reflect those designs. And while we're at it, let's throw in the original Hawk and Dove too.

          I just want to say that the way they did Robin's mask here is the way I hope any future removable masks are done on the 8" line. I wish Green Arrow and Green Lantern had been done this way - I would've bought more to make secret identity figues.

          I imagine it sticks with static electricity or natural friction?

          As far as Titans go, I want them all, in all variations, but if I was forced to choose, I want Modern Nighwing (would also love a Red Robin), and a non-speedo Robin, and I'd take the rest of the 80s titans.

            I did a acetone head shrink on a robin to get his head to 7" size and then took in his costume worked pretty well (hardest part was acetone shrinking the robin shoes). If these were DOC's bodies I would say make em in scale with the original's but....

            I have been disapointed enough with the mattel 8" body contruction that I surely don't want to see mattel try another scale. Make them in 8" with big guns from New Teen titans.
            Much as I would love to see an early costume Wonder girl, Joker's daughter/harlequin, Bat-girl Betty Kane, or Golden Eagle (which would be a simple mod if hawkman was in the works) the new Teen titans characters have the wider appeal - the book sold better and ran longer and those were also in the teen titans cartoon from the 2000's

              I have those DC Direct figures. The mask is just molded to click on to the face. Now it's more for posing than playing, so it wouldn't stay on if you handled it like a Mego and took him on an adventure.
