Best scenario would’ve been 4 separate PFs for Nightwing, a larger 16-18 year old Tim Robin, smaller 10-13 year old Damian Robin, and an original Dick Robin.

As is I’m glad to get a Robin. Still, I would’ve preferred Damian as his own PF in his own costume as opposed to an add on for Tim.

Nightwing PF that matches this factory/warehouse look with Tim and Barbara by SDCC.

Yeah. It’s pointless to have Damian’s head on Tim’s body with Tim’s weapon. Damian has to have his sword. For me it’s Ex or fail to have a more complete Damian. I can see how that won’t be so for others though.

*no mention of the capes. I’m guessing both capes come with the regular as well? Or the Damian hooded cape is part of the Ex with his sword? The on-screen picture labeled “Exclusive” barely showed the Katana.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

No, but I imagine it's soon since they've shown the proto twice now.

Cool both Editions will have the two portraits, but just the katana being the EX is kinda weak, just make one ES.


It's funny how on the sideshow live they kinda acknowledge the Internets disappointment with the royal guard.

I agree. It all should’ve been one edition. It’s already a small PF, just include everything. All the parts!

Also noted how they keep saying Robin but never refer to him as a specific Robin. Much like SS never distinguished which Hawkgirl their PF is. I wonder if they even know who they’re making sometimes and not just making things based off pictures, assumptions and ignorance. Lol.

The Royal Guard comments were soooo extra.

Just watched live, he looks really good. Don't think I'd need the katana.

The Royal Guard stuff made me laugh too.

I agree.

I would love to have Dick Grayson Robin too. It’s just if I have to choose between nightwing and robin, I will always choose Nightwing. I would love to have young justice animation Dick!Robin, because that is my favorite costume of robin (I mean SS made Batgirl with YJ costume so why not?).

For Tim, I would have preferred YJ comics rebirth patrick gleeson robin costume. And for Damian, I wanted the black pants and green boots with sharp things on the gloves.

But, the reality is, we have to be happy with them making a robin at all lol

I want to like this piece because I'm a big Damian fan, but I'm just not getting the Damian vibe from this piece. I just feel that the sculpt doesn't capture what a badass he is.

Understandable, because this isn’t a Damian statue. This is a Tim statue with Damian parts.

Like chrismhk said, I would’ve preferred Damian with his black pants and green boots. Also Damian has long black sleeves, not Tim’s short green sleeves. Whatever they want to call this PF, it’s definitely Tim primarily. Maybe a variant Robin: Son of Batman PF for Spooktacular with Damian’s color scheme? Hopeful wishing.

Still, it’s my option for both and I do like the execution of it. I’m 100% in on this. They’re showing it Live, where is the fricking PO!?! I’m ready!
