Good haul. I almost all 5 of them loose for $52 dlvd. But I kinda wanted Grundy and don't want to give up hope yet.

nice haul.

Cool. Im waiting for a **** Grayson Robin though.

[Trunks3540]

I wouldn't mind a **** Greyson Robin. But I like him as Nightwing better. I'd still buy it.

[Joerhyno]

Wow, those other Robin and Nightwing already look dated, lol... I'm thinking about repainting my Robin to look more like the Green/Red one.. I just don't like the all red look...

[Spliff]

that's a sweet Robin fig. if I was still into 6" figs i'd get in on that action.

I never liked him going off on his own as Nightwing, but all boy wonders need to grow up some time right :p

I prefer the green/red classic Grayson Robin as the definitive Robin.

[Trunks3540]

I'm assuming you know the story behind why he went off on his own?

The comics I have he and Bruce got into a major fight about something, I don't remember what, it's been a while since I read it. So he basically said screw off, and quit being Robin. Then he went and trained with some tribes in South America or something like that, and learned new skills in fighting and stealth, and learnd how to make the glider. Then he came back, but there was a new Robin, and him and Bruce still weren't getting along, so he made his own new Identinty as Nightwing. Eventually he left Gotham to make a name for himself and establish himself away from Batman. Those are the comics I read way back when.

I always liked him as Robin, and then I thought his outfit and personality were much better when he grew up and went out on his own. I heard he eventually became or founded the Teen Titans, but I never read that far into that.

And like I said, I don't remember the full story. It's been a while since I read it, and I might've messed up a few things. I found all my X-Men and Wolverine comics from 99 and 2000, but I have yet to find my Batman comics from the same era.

nice robin

[RzeznikK]

Yeah I knew Grayson and Bruce were at ends and thats why he needed to spread wings (pun intended) and get on his own.

I like Tim Drakes Robin too, but theres always going to be nostolgic love for the Grayson Robin.

Jason Todds Robin was a wanker. Im glad Joker crow barred his ass. :p

I never read those ones, but I heard about it from people. I know Tim and whatnot from the animated series when it became *The New Adventures of Batman*. I never read too many Tim Drake Robin comics. But I loved ****, he was awesome, and still the best to wear the suit.

BTW, Batman wore the Robin suit at very very very beginning. I wonder who knows that. Before he became Batman, he never had a name from what I recall, but he wore the old school Robin outfit with those short shorts speedo things and pure yellow cape.
