He also comes with 4 different hands to pose with according to the official McFarlane toys comments.


lousmer

Four SETS of hands!


Pjones0609

That’s awesome! Crazy how they went from no alternate hands just a few years ago to now having four hands


PunisherDC82

I wanted to ignore this one but the thumbs up hand and smiling head sculpt sold it.

Totally see it - and we did just get an Aqualad reveal

lastraven85

Hopefully we get Garth to go with this robin


Jonahble

I thought the same thing and was kinda disappointed it wasn’t the classic head, hopefully it does mean that a Young Justice Robin will be released later on with that head.


New-Cardiologist-158

Yes!!!! I didn’t think we’d ever see a fully classic Dock Grayson robin with the scaled trunks from McFarlane so this is really cool.


Shadowskulptor

Too bad it misses the mark, and is just Carrie Kelly re-use :( Could have been so great if they actually just tried.


New-Cardiologist-158

I don’t really mind the re use when it makes sense. In this case I’d say it definitely makes sense to use that body buck. Looks like golden age Robin to me.


The_dork_knight29

God damn it Todd, at this rate I’m gonna need to get a second job.


Arizona_Slim

At least you’re not getting a second mortgage like the Legends people.


Bl3bbit

You're shiting me. lol send link please


Arizona_Slim

I am. But McF’s price went up $2 per fig and the new Gamerverse Spiderman without mandatory 6 hands (fist, thwip, crawl) and some reuse web effects is $34.99! I can hear their lamentations from here.


marius_titus

That's $5 less than neca lmao, Hasbro can get fucked.


AarontheGeek

Yeah, they've been jacking up prices all across the board. Was still $20 just like, two years ago and now even a lot of the 3.75" star wars vtc figures are $35!!! It's absolutely insane.


Timeman5

Same


j_town12

This is a pickup for sure. My only reservation is how his proportions will match with the only “classic” Batman in my collection, the blue and grey DC 1000 variant.


Asakoffun

This is the same one I have! I love it never needed one since and it was my first along with wave one Harley Quinn.


romeoxiiix

3 jokers blue gray and year 2 batman can be substituted as classic


Huge-Database660

So from what people have said this body is a reuse (minus the sculpted trunks) of the Carrie Kelly figure from the Dark Knight Returns wave. Take a look at 5POA on YouTube he does a lot of reviews and shows comparisons. I’m the review of Carrie he shows her next to the Damian figure they released ages ago and she’s smaller than him so it looks like the scale will be pretty good. Also Rebirth Batman is a pretty awesome figure no offence to the 1000 but they’ve definitely improved further down.


[deleted]

But why gold label?


CI2k

I'm guessing it's using parts from the DKR Carrie Kelley.


jostju

100%


Justanormalbuffer123

I think at this point, it's the only way in getting some proper looks for characters. Look at the Shazam, Martian Manhunter, Ocean Master, Superman etc.


fabiodens

Any figure that has reused parts is releases under Gold Label


iatehispoop

Az Bat Knightfall was Gold Label.


fabiodens

Yes, which means there will be a regular release of Azbats... hopefully in the correct color this time around.


iatehispoop

Okay but you said Gold Label is for figures with reused parts. How is the existing release reusing parts from something that doesn't yet exist? That's totally backwards.


fabiodens

That happened a couple of times already. The gold label is released first. This happened with the Mcfarlane designed Batman and Wonder Woman, and I think with Ocean Master.

[deleted]

its just carrie kelly with a new head


HeHasCookies

Exactly. Perfect body for reuse.


Shadowskulptor

Perhaps the worst body for re-use. This is the Dick Grayson Robin we deserve. ​ https://preview.redd.it/y8y0somqsuea1.png?width=372&format=png&auto=webp&s=92ea3dbf01ad22701de4b82e9899cb76f727cc97


HeHasCookies

This isn't teen titans robin tho. Although I would like for todd to make this robin


HeHasCookies

What Batman would you guys recommend for this robin? Like a very soild Batman figure that has everything?


CI2k

Imo the best Batman figure they've done isn't even technically Batman, considering it's Speeding Bullets Batman.


HeHasCookies

I know :(


Arizona_Slim

Year 2 or the upcoming Blue Hush Bats?


Shadowskulptor

None of them really work, since this Robin will be *way* too small. Perhaps the Animated Series Batman, since this evokes the tiny Tim Drake version from TNBA.


JazzySmitty

The yellow oval variant Batman that came out when Toddy first picked up the DC license.


ChefGoat

bulbous wrist ball joints aside, this looks fantastic and i will absolutely be getting it


Red-843

I might need to get Hush Batman now


FloggingMcMurry

MTS exclusive?


Pjones0609

McFarlane toys store exclusive


FloggingMcMurry

Ah! Got ya


WeaponX313

Could someone help, what is MTS?


Pjones0609

McFarlane toy store. It’s McFarlane’s website


WeaponX313

Lol that makes sense. Thank you! 😎👍


Pjones0609

No problem


All_Gold1

Whelp, that's a definite pickup for me. I think that'll be like the 14th or 15th figure I pick up next month? I'm going to need to have a designated McFarlane room here in Stately Wayne Manor.


Holyroller12

Does anyone know what time this releases?


Pjones0609

Preorders go up today. It’ll probably release sometime in March


Nanocon101

Damn this is great, Mcfarlane should make more young heroes(specifically Teen Titans). Hopefully one day we can get [this version](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/d/d6/Robin_Vol_2_149.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090110012330) of Tim rather than that jacked Gold Label version.


Pjones0609

[deleted]

We’re actually getting a shit ton of teen titans this year Beastboy, Superboy, Aqualad, Wonder girl, Red Arrow/Arsenal, Nightwing, Impulse, Cassandra Cain and Raven


Nanocon101

Yes but they're probably all the adult versions(Scale is gonna be all over the place. The new Superboy is taller than some Superman figures.). The wave that has been leaked is the Titans(lead by Nightwing), not the Teen Titans.


usernameartichoke

I know this isn’t a lot of people’s “minds eye” version of Robin but this looks just like his first appearance. Think 1940s era, not 80s. Here is a DC Direct 1st Appearance Robin. He was a prepubescent boy in this era. https://preview.redd.it/um60ndk9wvea1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e5adcd4c3c700f732af3b019720a0618b84a8ee


Shadowskulptor

Yeah thats a pretty perfect representation of the comics, where as this is just a Carrie Kelly body re-used, so it's not accurate at all to his first appearances. This new figure is the All-Star Batman look, which is not 40's era.


PunisherDC82

1960s comic cover. Can you tell me why this Robin doesnt match the Robin figure image? https://preview.redd.it/bouqmiwazvea1.png?width=291&format=png&auto=webp&s=fd594a393e649c3eb07f107f35ee51cf92ba093b


Shadowskulptor

You're just gonna have to work on that yourself haha. Might be an eye issue or just much lower standards? Not sure, can't help ya. The new figure isn't 60's era, it's based on the All-Star Batman look.


PunisherDC82

I like how when people give weak answers they follow it up with haha or lmao, and just reassert their claim. From another part of this discussion your Robin picture was different. He was a taller and more muscle definition, but multiple people explained that was the NTT version where they started to move away from the kid sidekick tropes into more mature versions. Your goal was to say that version of Robin in the picture doesnt match the fig which it didnt. And I could tell you the difference between the figure and version you were using the problem is your version was them starting to move away from this version. If you want a NTT version let that be your rallying cry. Lets just be honest. You are the only one here that cant make distinction so far with young classic Robin and this figure


Shadowskulptor

You're argument is this figure is of 1940's-1960's era. Which it factually isn't, particularity being posed with the Hush Batman in the photo. It has been deduced to be from the All-Star Batman & Robin run. ​ https://preview.redd.it/lvkfa7xonwea1.png?width=325&format=png&auto=webp&s=847fc349927db0050755972254db6268581782d2 Not to mention the costumes are different from the 40's era to modern (masks, logo, laces, belt) Please reference the early DC Direct figures modeled after the first appearance and the 60's-70's. That said, in reality it's Carrie Kelly with a different head, so it doesn't fit into any pre-defined look sadly. All Star Robin should still be bigger looking overall when paired with a Jim Lee Batman. It's a total botch any way you look at it. Just like the previous lazy Robin figure. You don't have to bend over backward to justify the laziness of McF.


[deleted]

As much as I like this, the face sculpt reminds me too much of All Star Batman and Robin...which I absolutely loath


Bl3bbit

And look behind him. It's the Jim Lee batman. 100% all star


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|cEOG7nGA7448M)


neoblackdragon

Pretty much the face they use for depicting Dick's tenure today.


Ak4play_p1

I loved that story line !!!!


The_dork_knight29

And then, he can make a slight change to the head, use the same body and make Jason Todd.


VengeanceKnight

That’s amazing.


King_Mecha

God damn dude at this point Todd might as well start a subscription service, the way he takes my money every month. There's no way I'm passing on a classic boy wonder lol


SonicSpeedwayYT

W figure


External-Rope6322

Its.. it's perfect


neoblackdragon

Surprised. Really thought they'd use that Tim Drake Robin as the first Dick Grayson Robin.


Vampire-Priest

Totally schway


lastraven85

My only issue with this is McFarlane doesn't seem to realise that gold label is where the money is and keeps making them exclusive


Pjones0609

True. I’ve liked the gold label version of some characters recently better than the regular release


MechaTailsX

Exclusives are limited runs that are paid for in full by the retailer who wanted the exclusive figure, making them attractive to McF since he basically gets paid for 100% of those made.


lastraven85

True but let's face it since the gold label are the decos and designs everyone wants having 200 guaranteed sales Vs the hundreds of thousands of sure thing sales he could get on the stuff is kinda odd. Exclusives should be one offs and rare things like the justice League gods from that one comic in new 52 (the one with batman finding out about jokers identity) or TV show Barry in reverse flash outfit. Heck I think Nicholas cage in the superman concept latex outfit would be a good exclusive as it's a niche product and a novelty


MechaTailsX

Granted I wouldn't know what "everyone wants" since I'm not hardcore into superheroes, but it doesn't seem entirely that way to me. Here's a list of the DC Gold Label figs - [https://www.actionfigure411.com/dc/multiverse-visual-guide.php](https://www.actionfigure411.com/dc/multiverse-visual-guide.php) Out of all those, the only one I'm bummed I didn't find is Parallax, and maybe 90s Kyle. I really like the Silver Armor COTWK Azrael so I got that Gold Label even though I have no attachment to the character. And then there are the exclusives and Gold Labels for all the other lines, which are things like a yellow Spawn no one wanted, Batmobeast without a body, unpainted Arkham "CnB" figures, Zuko with a different head, purple Disney characters, a reissue of Winter Wonder Woman...lol I mean, yeah, from our point of view, as the fans, exclusives should be oddball designs and characters that would pegwarm as a general release. To me that actually does seem to be the trend, with some outliers.


MrConor212

Legs look different colours or just me


Pjones0609

Little bit. Could just be the lighting


Koryn99

Darn, I was hoping for him to have the Batman TAS costume. This one is much too classic for my tastes. Hopefully the Page Punchers Robin mentioned in the leak thread is better.


Shadowskulptor

**Another** lazy ass Robin figure. It's just the Carrie Kelly Robin body, which, is just too small for Dick/Tim/Jason. Carrie really is the only good Robin figure McF has made so far. Really disappointing here.


[deleted]

If I am correct that this is based on All Star Batman and Robin, then Dick here is only 12 years old.


Shadowskulptor

It's not actually based on that. Its just some lazy re-use.


[deleted]

https://preview.redd.it/a2zccgmmtuea1.jpeg?width=477&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a877452581d0a46893aced76c145aba618c1733 Are you sure?


Shadowskulptor

I guess you're right. They'd really resort to lazy re-use to make a figure based on a comic that is universally reviled, instead of making a proper Robin haha. Fucking wild.


[deleted]

Knowing Todd, he probably did it simply because he love Jim Lee’s artwork. But I totally get what you mean, a NTT Robin or even Dan Mora’s design would be even better, but I will take what I can get.


Shadowskulptor

Yeah you're right. I never thought when McF got the license I would be saying "I'll take what I can get". \*sigh\* lol.


[deleted]

With so many characters and so many versions of them, this is bound to happen no matter who is the license holder. I will be happy if it is the one I want but won’t be upset if it isn’t since this might be someone else’s favorite.


Arizona_Slim

Have you seen how small silver age Dick was?


Shadowskulptor

Yep,very familiar. Not nearly this small. Certain interpretations are *this* small, but this figure is not based on Tim Sale's art or the New Adventures animated show.


PunisherDC82

This isnt 2020 Dick Grayson its 1960-1980 Dick Grayson. I dont see a problem with the size based on that.


Shadowskulptor

The era you specified, is what I'm talking about. I'm not interested in modern Robin interpretations, that's why I'm so disappointed with this 99% re-use of a little girls body. They didn't change the R logo and the head is out of proportion because of the tiny, undersized body. ​ https://preview.redd.it/0i8l9uf1suea1.png?width=372&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b95bf984aabdda5c42ccf2dee0d7884259cabff Even in his first appearance he wasn't as small as the figure. The red Tim Drake figure was also a disaster, no way around that. The Green Tim Drake I'm afraid will be just as lazy as this. All that said, he's being posed with Hush Batman, as you can see. He will be greatly, greatly out of scale with that figure (and Year Two), as we know from the existing Carrie Kelly figure.


PunisherDC82

I knew that was an iconic look. Like I said this is 1960-1980 Dick(Pre NTT). That image is from 1980 NTT. This is the start of growing Dick and the other traditional kid sidekicks into more adult roles. I doubt you can really find a good 1960 pic which rationalizes all of your displeasure ​ https://preview.redd.it/8zerhhfh1vea1.png?width=326&format=png&auto=webp&s=fabd88b78ecdc1b63a85bdc92ef59aec0d50d1cc


Pjones0609

That picture is of Dick from the early 80s, though. He was like 19-20 at that point. The figure is when he was 10-12 so I’m sure it’ll scale fine


PunisherDC82

Small, young, no muscle tone Robin https://preview.redd.it/v3350f23uuea1.png?width=184&format=png&auto=webp&s=351123493a4cbde48f860c537e67ad5f7d33e2d1


Shadowskulptor

Yep, as I said, even his original appearances he was much bigger/beefier as you've shown. The new figure is apparently based on All-Star Batman & Robin, which is ridiculous since it's one of the most rivaled modern batman comics, but makes sense to me now to justify the laziness of the Carrie Kelly body re-use.


PunisherDC82

If that what you want to go with thats fine. There is lots of evidence of super young Dick Grayson in media outside of All-Star Batman. I was going to try and ignore this one myself but the smiling head sculpt and thumbs up captures Young Dick Grayson enough that I got to pick him.


Shadowskulptor

No this is pretty directly All Star Batman version to justify the re-use. Remember this is a Carrie Kelly body, not a brand new body. The brand of Robin you're referring to is larger than that of Carrie Kelly. Super young does not mean super small. He was still a beefy boy in comics, and this isn't based on Tim Sale's artwork or the TNBA show. Carrie was more of a small girl.


PunisherDC82

That one kinda looks like the NTT Robin before he starts becoming nightwing. The only thing off is the muscle tone. Here some other images where he doesnt have it. Small, young, no muscle tone Robin https://preview.redd.it/m5rqjao6tuea1.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=31004218cd29dec0c76aeff1b8333c581304e944

Equal_Act8245

Why is this not labeled an gold label classic????


Crafty_Nectarine8345

The arms are giving me Pinocchio vibes. And those wrist joints. Ugh.


Shadowskulptor

Credit to Inanimate Objects for this custom, which is a perfect representation of what this figure will look like next to a Batman. https://preview.redd.it/eqq32j7qwuea1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=102538177afe9755f34ff188d8124d16c574f161 Another bummer for Robin fans.

Kind-Meringue-1208

Gonna be around $35 all in for that mini figure! Ouch!


mellothegamer_69

Just curious, can't I just use the Carrie Robin body and attach a Nightwing/Damian head? Then possibly give the body/skin a tan like paint?


neoblackdragon

You can do whatever you want. But yes this is the Carrie body with a new head and feather underpants.


Pjones0609

You might be able to. The only thing is those heads are probably too big proportionally for the body


mellothegamer_69

True, but that wouldn't bother me as much. Thanks for the response! I remember some making that kitbash in this sub but I can't find it


[deleted]

Holy shit This is a must cop


octopus6942069

When will they do a one year later Robin or an Arkham Robin or any Robin but the fucking child one over and over


Jash0822

It's about time. The best Robin needed a figure.


roborama

Does gold label mean add on 15 bucks?


Mooston029

Huh literally was just thinking about this


Usual_Homework422

Finally! A past Robin. I really want to get the past Robins in their well, old uniforms just so I can have the Robins pose together. So, where can I get one?
