Price I Paid: $20

Amazon.com had Gotham Knights Red Hood and Nightwing listed briefly in December 2021, but their product pages are no longer live. I was able to get Red Hood from GameStop.com, but Nightwing is basically nowhere in sight unless you happen to find him in a brick and mortar store.

Amazon is delivering Batgirl and Tim Drake Robin as of today, February 17, 2022.

----------

Well, here he is, the first Tim Drake in the McFarlane DC Multiverse action figure line. This version of Robin is based on his character design from the video game Gotham Knights, which was announced for 2021 but then delayed to 2022.

In the plastic tray, there're plastic ties around the torso and legs.

In addition to an information card and a base stand, Robin comes with one accessory, a bo staff with green highlights. The bo staff is made of a rubber-like material, so it'll likely warp with temperature changes.

Robin stands about 6.8-inches tall. He would probably be 6.9 or even a full 7 inches if his neck had not been angled so forwards. Not sure why, but all of these Gotham Knights figures seem to have been designed to be hunched over, as if they were meant to be posed on a high shelf permanently looking down at you.

The head and lower torso can rotate 360 degrees. The figure can do a full 180 leg split ... if you remove the tunic. The tunic prevents you from getting too creative with leg poses (and thus he needs a base plate more than Gotham Knights Batgirl despite her tiny feet). The fingers look like they have tight grips, but I think they're made of rubber for once and are flexible without using hot water or a blow dryer to soften them.

Most people who get this figure are likely doing it to have a complete Gotham Knights wave. However, if you're a Tim Drake fan, you should probably wait for the Red Robin figure that's already been rumored/leaked.

Areas of concern:
-- The neck angle is too extreme.
-- The tunic restricts leg movement.
-- The hoodie part of the costume may not be centered, though it looks like it's easy to remove and re-glue.
