DCD is running out of ideas. They need to be given the full Batman license so that they can start doing things from all the past animation and movies.

Man!! That Batman is ugly. I think it would be ok if it just wasn't for the yellow.
I'm ok with the Robin because there has been a few female Robins.

i must be the only person who loves this line. moving to males is a very stupid idea though. the female figs in this line are absolutely amazing. i have Huntress and Hawkgirl from this line and both are fantastic. i'm considering getting the Catwoman and Donna Troy figs too.
and the Robin here is Stephanie Brown and i'm glad that they made her. her only other fig is the chase Kubrick of her as Spoiler which is ridiculously expensive. now i can finally get a fig of Stephanie.

Theyre not at all for me. Most have been somewhat imaginative if nothing else. SOme are sure cooler than others, and most are well done and look impressive in person. I just dont see the appeal personally... especially for the cost.

If it was Stephanie it would've been blonde hair. They gave Dick a sex chance plain and simple.

If it was Stephanie it would've been blonde hair. They gave Dick a sex chance plain and simple. there's no way. every other character made in the line is based off the regular characters just done in an anime style. no characters were changed from who they were originally. plus, the staff is what gives it away anyway, as Stephanie used it a few times just like Tim. if they didnt make Batman in the line and announce the shift to making both males and females then it could be said that Robin wasnt Stephanie, but since the line does make males it cant be anyone else but Stephanie as she was the only female Robin in the regular DCU. and the hair color doesnt mean anything. the Zatanna fig from this line has blue hair. are you going to say that its a different Zatanna because her hair isnt black?

No one's gonna look at this Robin statue and think of Stephanie.

^ it doesnt matter what people think the fig looks like, the figure is of Stephanie. these figures represent regular characters (meaning no Elseworlds characters). the only female Robin was Stephanie. it makes sense that it doesnt resemble Stephanie, as a few characters in this line have had their appearances changed drastically from how they normally appear in the comics (Cheetah, Zatanna, & Batman to name a few).
also, this isnt really a statue. its a pvc figure similiar to the figs done by Yamato, and the Kia Asamiya figs, and figs done by McFarlane Toys. they're figures made for display instead of play. Mattel calls this type of fig a staction figure, but every other company just calls them pvc figures. they are made with pvc, which is a much harder plastic thats used in piping.
