Classic Red, Green, and Yellow comic-book palette.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and head. Lacks arm or leg printing, typical of the 2012 era.
Variants
Variants include sh160 (Dark Green legs/sleeves) and sh161 (Junior version). This specific one is the original 2012 retail version.
Condition Notes
Watch for fraying on the yellow cape edges and 'neck-ring' stress marks on the torso. Common to see 'cracked' heels or torso sides.

Character Background
Tim Drake or Dick Grayson (identity varies by set context). This version is modeled after the 'modern' comic era/Animated appearances.
Design Notes
A significant upgrade from the 2006 yellow-skin Robin; introduced the modern flesh-tone standard and refined Robin logo.
Similar Minifigures
sh160 (dark suit), sh031 (Red Robin), sh248 (Short-legged Junior Robin).
Collectibility
High for completionists of the early Batman waves, though common enough to be affordable for most collectors.
History
Followed the legendary 2006-2008 Batman line, signaling LEGO's long-term partnership with DC Comics.
Interesting Facts
The cape is significantly shorter than the standard Batman cape to reflect the sidekick's smaller stature.
Display Suggestions
Place alongside the 2012 Batman (sh016) on a gray baseplate to recreate the 'Dynamic Duo' aesthetic.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' MOCs; legs can be swapped for dual-molded red/green legs from later series for a modern look.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Robin minifigure. While it lacks the detail of modern 360-degree printing, its iconic colors make it a standout for shelf presence.
