Robin

Flamethrower Robin
The Batman ShadowTek
Mattel, 2007. Asst K4010, SKU# K4012

With the Teen Titans TV show off the air, The Batman was free to introduce Robin to their series. This new incarnation of Robin does not alter the image or origin too drastically. Basically it’s a reworked Tim Drake style suit with the “R” reversed, a black R on a yellow circle being the most noticeable change.

SPECS:
4 ¾” inches tall, 4 Points of articulation (head, shoulders, waist). Includes a Flamethrower/Launcher, 2 Flame projectiles and stand.

PROS:
It’s the new Robin from The Batman. The sprayops were decent, but there was a little slop on the arms in particular. However, overall it’s not bad…

CONS:
… but it’s not good either. Any action figure with only 4 POA might as well be a statue. The soft rubber arms do not make up for it either. The head is HUGE and the figure is not in scale with other The Batman figures.

OVERALL:
Nice, but this figure deserved better. Robin is almost as important as Batman. More articulation and a smaller head would make it better than it is. It needs the stand if the Flamethrower is snapped on, which works fine for display, but stinks for playing with it. It should have had a Bo Staff or something more Robin like for an accessory.

You’ll want one because it’s Robin, but other than that you could pass on this figure and not be missing much.
