Light Flesh color, dual-sided printing featuring a large green mask with white eyes. One side has a determined smirk, the other a shocked/scared expression.
Torso

Legs
Black short legs (non-poseable), representing the youthful, child-like stature of the Dick Grayson character in the film.
Accessories
Yellow 'short' sponge-style fabric cape with a jagged/scalloped edge and a black spiked hairpiece (spiky hair mold common to several 2010s characters).
Color Scheme
Classic Robin palette: Red, Black, Green, and Yellow. High contrast for a comic-book aesthetic.
Printing Details
Highly detailed pad printing. The yellow utility belt highlights and 'R' logo are crisp. Graphic design is stylized to match the animation style of the movie.
Variants
This specific version (sh315) features the short legs and short cape. Other versions include a tuxedo variant from the CMF series and 'Reggae' Batman variants.
Condition Notes
Watch for fraying on the edges of the soft yellow cape and friction wear on the green mask printing where the hairpiece sits.

Character Background
Based on Dick Grayson as voiced by Michael Cera in The LEGO Batman Movie, characterized as an over-eager, orphan-adopted sidekick.
Design Notes
The oversized green 'goggles' mask is a specific design choice to emphasize the character's wide-eyed innocence compared to the 2006 classic version.
Similar Minifigures
sh011 Robin (Classic), sh233 Robin (Junior), and sh661 Robin (Dynamic Suit).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a core character for 'The LEGO Batman Movie' completionists but high supply keeps value stable.
History
Represents the first major redesign of Robin to incorporate specific 'youth' elements like short legs for a theatrical release.
Interesting Facts
The cape is unique due to its 'soft' material and specific jagged cut, which was meant to look like it was made from a pair of modified old pants in the movie lore.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to 'The LEGO Batman Movie' version of Batman (sh312). Use a clear case to prevent the yellow cape from attracting dust.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are popular for creating custom 'Nightwing' or 'Teen Titans' era Dick Grayson MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A well-designed, movie-accurate figure that captures the personality of the film. A 4/5 rating for playability and design accuracy.
