Toying Around Reviews - DC Multiverse: Damian Wayne Rebirth Robin
DC Multiverse:
Damian Wayne DC Rebirth Robin
Today we will be taking a look at the DC Multiverse Rebirth Robin. This is based on how Robin looked back in 2016 when DC launched the DC Rebirth era of their comics. At this time Robin was taking change and putting the Teen Titans back together.
McFarlane Toys, a subsidiary of Todd McFarlane Productions, is a company founded by comics creator Todd McFarlane which makes highly detailed model figurines of characters from movies, comics, popular music, video games, and various sporting genres.
PACKAGING:
Before we open this up, let's take a look at the packaging.
On the front of the box, we have a nice big window that lets us see the figure and everything he comes with, including the figure itself, and his accessories. The top of the box lets us know that the figure has 22 points of articulation. The bottom of the box has the DC Multiverse logo as well as Robin’s name.
Turning the box to the side we have the name of the figure, and where the inspiration for the figure came from. This Robin is from the start of the DC Rebirth
The back gives us the artwork from where the inspiration came from, Teen Titans #1. The bottom gives us some artwork for some other figures we can pick up as well.
Turning the box around one more time we get a small window that lets us see the figure.
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX:
Let's open the box and take a closer look at the figure.
Taking Robin out of the box we can get a nice look at the detail on the figure. The colors are nice and bright and pop. The plastic on Robin’s cape almost has a leather look to it, a nice touch. It is a little unfortunate that the yellow underside of the cape is missing.

RATING:
What are Baby Huey's scores for the figure?
PAINT JOB 4/5
Just about every McFarlane figure has a ton of paint on them, and this Robin is no exception. The paint on him is very crisp and clean as well. The figure is only missing yellow on the inside of the cape.
FIGURE SCULPT 5/5
The overall Sculpt of Robin is very well done. He looks likes how he does in the Teen Titans comics
POSING 3/5
If this figure had double-jointed knees and elbows he would be the perfect robin. Robin should be acrobatic and able to get into any pose you want, now while you can get him in a ton of different poses the lack of double joints does hurt that a little bit.
ACCESSORIES: 4/5
Robin comes with some throwing stars, but a bat-a-rang or robin one would have been nice, Robin also uses a bow staff. Just a few extra or different things would have made this a home run.
DURABILITY 5/5
I will say McFarlane’s plastic is normally something you have to worry about. Yes, there are reports of figures breaking but they are far and few in between that it isn’t something you need to worry about when picking one up.
OVERALL SCORE 4.2/5
I’m glad to finally have a Robin for my new Multiverse collection. Just a few extra things here and there and he would be perfect.
RETAIL COST: $19.99
I picked mine up at my local Mashko Collectables
TIME FOR SOME TOYING AROUND!!
So another year has come and gone, this year like the year before wasn’t the greatest but at least we did get some really cool toys and action figures. I just want to thank you all for all the love and support you all give me, this would not be possible if not for all of you so thank you!
