So here's a little irony: a guy with the internet handle "Batman1016," a handle he's been using on the web for a freakin' DECADE AND A HALF, is a member of a community of action figure customizers, a community that is largely based in comic book characters, and while he's a major fan of DC comics, and he's been active in the custom figure community for almost two years, and he's been dabbling in custom figures off and on for a decade . . . he's never once worked on a Batman toy. Not ONE. As the Joker once said, "Kinda makes you laugh, doesn't it?" So, did anyone else remember that Robin (Tim Drake) had a car back in the comics in the '90s? I always thought the Batmobile from "The Batman" cartoon looked similar. This is just a complete repaint with some VERY minor sculpting. . . . . No, really, that's it. No massive treatise on the creative process. No ridiculous puns or excessive alliteration or amusing anecdotes. Very simple repaint, grind the bats off the hubcaps, and a sculpted R on the hood. The end. I am vengeance. I am the night! I AM BATMAN! (no, really, I am) ![]() |

Google Image search, "robin redbird," it's the third picture result. A sleek, compact Ferrari-like sports car that bears only a passing resemblance to this custom. But there's enough similar visual cues that the toy passes as an homage.
Thanks for the nice comment!
