Captain Minimate Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hey guys, just got the DC Series 2 minimates. They're really cool, Brainiac's awesome. But the Robin in his 2-pack with the Penguin... Which one is it? I mean, there are THREE Robins, but this could either be Dick Grayson, or Jason Todd. I'm thinking it's Todd, because of his hairstyle. But, I could be wrong! Any ideas??? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like this Robin's secret identity was meant to be Burt Ward :biggrin: But honestly, I know it's not Tim Drake and it does look like the second Robin but much more likeable. I like to think of him as Dick Grayson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I treat it as a young Dick Grayson. Did Jason Todd ever have that crazy, 1940s hair-do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I'd treat DCD Robin as campy-Batman-TV-show-era Dick Grayson. BTW, where in Hongkong did you find series 2 DC mates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most ,if not all, Minimates ship from Hong Kong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Minimate Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 ... lol, my local comic-shop has a few packs every now and then, most of them are Marvels, though. Sometimes, they even get the old DC ones, which got me this! I think they also have the Supergirl minimate wave and the Sinestro minimate wave.

NorthRaider Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hmm, seems odd that Minimates would be so hard to come by even in Hongkong. ... lol, my local comic-shop has a few packs every now and then, most of them are Marvels, though.

Twisted Two-Face Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 It's Dick. I've recently been reading those BIG Showcase Dc Paperbacks, and two of them are for classic 60's Batman. The costume is the same, and Bruce refers to him in the Mansion as "Dick." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine might. I don't know. But I normally don't trade online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Minimate Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 I.... Think soo.... Not sure, I wasn't really interested in that wave, They have the Invaders, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man through the ages, the Supergirl wave, BTTF 50's Marty and George McFly, and Series 2. But if it was summer, i'd be more lucky, I go the California every year to visit my family, and there's a really good comic shop there. Also a very wide range of comics, from Vertigo Comics or Marvel Max, to Marvel Adventures, and Aterisk the something-something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks for the great info guys. Guess I'll have to figure out another way to get more DC mates. Am in a really bad mood right now 'coz I've just got back from emailing this guy; he's had the same absurdly-priced listing since May and he STILL wouldn't see reason. A shame, since that C3 Robin looks almost cooler (not to mention slightly rarer) than the DCD one. I give up. On a positive note, at least I've found a possible way to get an Avengers # 1 box set (oops, wrong forum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestlé Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I know I'm late on this topic, but it's Dick. Jason had Yellow stockings and funky boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I call him Todd, as Nightwing is Grayson. This way, I can have them both on the same shelf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 It's either Dick or Jason....whichever you prefer. Alrighty then. Show of hands: Who here prefers DICK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Oh, I definitely prefer to have a little Dick on my shelf, but as Tenime Art pointed out, I've already got a Dick in Nightwing. I think two Dicks would just be too many. I'm a one Dick kind of guy. But on the other hand, Babs Batgirl and classic Bats both look really good with young Dick. So I'll just say that Robin is versatile. When I need Dick, he's a Dick. And Happy Holidays to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reideen1313 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Now that you're back, something I've always wanted to know, what does the PL mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I get that all the time. They're my last two initials. Someone at work coined the nickname after seeing my initials on signed-off artwork. When I needed an internet handle, I decided that would be appropriate. And for the record, my Robin's a Dick.

cdubya Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Now that you're back, something I've always wanted to know, what does the PL mean? "Palisades-Lamenter"! I remember getting all worked-up over the proposed 1:18 Planet of the Apes line with this guy in their forums (I'm still bitter about the loss)!! Welcome back PL!

Starlight Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Personally I think it's Jason. That way all the Robins get minimates. But the hair do made me think it was him. Yeah it's a sunny smile but he had those before things went bad. The beauty of it is that it can be whoever you want it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
