I finally got the Gotham Knights Tim Drake on clearance at Ross for 6 bucks. I used that to do a headswap with this figure's derpy face. Mine was extra derpy because his lips were also messed up. Made him look like he was going "Durrrrr". With the head swap this is now my grown up Dick Grayson right before he becomes Nightwing.

Firm but fair as always. Scale has been an Achilles heel with McFarlane. It’s all over the place. Don’t they have a sample room where they can pair the 3D sculpts before they go to tooling? If they dialed in the scale on the whole line, they would have a lot more home-runs. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Fernando! Grayson is great and obviously foundational for establishing Robin, but I prefer him as Nightwing. That's me though. I think the reason I like Tim is the same reason I love Barbara. Unlike so many other heroes, they weren't driven by tragedy. They were inspired to do good, and then faced tragedy as a result. I just love the concept of Tim as someone who smart enough to deduce who Batman is and then basically decide to take up the mantle because he recognized Batman "needs" a Robin to balance him and keep him mentally grounded.

The "Knighfall" Batman wasn't really even a thing when this figure was announced and came out originally and I also feel that Batman is a bit on the short side anyway and the extra details on this figure I don't think he goes with "KF" Batman anyways, he looks great with Three Jokers and Hush
