All the Many Faces of Robin figures were made by
Robin MacRorie.
Check out Robin's site!
King Snake
Made from a Bane figure. Muscle shirt Dremeled off, pants added with Sculpey.
Facemask Dremeled off, hair added with Sculpey. Snake on torso painted by
hand.
Dick Grayson (older, Nightwing alter-ego)
New Two-Face body, Ra's Al Ghul head -- tried this as a slightly different recipe than
what others' had. Happy with the difference except the mouth still doesn't look right.
This gives Dick a somewhat more grim appearance than I think he has in the show, but
seems to match his bitterness.
Tim Drake (cartoon)
Small Robin with Sculpey for pants. Gloves Dremeled off. Something about the
angle of this shot makes him look at little demented (a la Jay-Jay), but up close it's just
a small smile.
Dick Grayson (younger, "Robin's Reckoning" episode)
Small Robin figure. Extra hair, gloves Dremeled off. Sweater added with
Sculpey as were the jeans (and the cuffs). Hat made from Sculpey. This hat was
easier than most hats because it's *very* oversized for young Dick.
The extra size made it easier to work with than most hats since it didn't have to be
"skin-tight" to his head.
Robin JLA
New Batsy body, head is a Sculpey cast from a Mr. Freeze head. I'm not happy with
this cast and will have to re-cast it again. Logo is painted freehand.
Robin Thrillkiller
Robin from the Thrillkiller Elseworld's comic is made from a very Dremeled SMOS Superboy
figure and a Robin or Dick Grayson head (I don't remember which). The hair is added
with Sculpey. I used Kryptcom's version of the character at first (gave me a good
template for the hair) and then double-checked it with the comic. You can't quite see
it in this picture, but he does have the yellow arrows on his sleeves, too.
Classic Robin
Small Robin figure with Sculpey for the boots, hair and edges of his flared overshirt.
Classic Nightwing
Made from a BTAS Robin figure, the collar is Sculpey as is the detailing on his hair (a
little swirl of extra hair on his right). All details are painted free-hand.
Circus Dick
BTAS Dick Grayson with much of the arm musculature sanded down. The hair was also
sanded down. A piece of cut plastic makes the round buckle of his belt. The
wrist cuffs are actually the bits of gloves from the original figure, but sanded smooth.
His shoes were Dremeled down a bit to more reflect the "bare foot" style of the
costume. I can't remember what issue of the Batman Animated comic this came from, but
I'll have a reference picture up on my site after the con debuts.
