Year Released
2017: Debuted in The LEGO Batman Movie sets (specifically 70905 The Batmobile). This era marked a shift to highly detailed, movie-accurate prints with more expressive facial features.
Rarity
Common: Unlike some exclusive anniversary figures, this version of Robin was widely distributed across several flagship sets during the movie's launch year, making it accessible but iconic.
Head
Double-sided head; one side features a wide, toothy grin and the other a worried expression. Both sides include the unique large green goggles and black messy hair piece.
Torso
Red torso with 'R' logo, yellow belt and utility details. Back features muscle definition and suit lines. Red arms and green hands to represent gloves.
Legs
Dark green short legs (typically used for youthful characters) without printing. The dark green contrasts well with the bright red torso.
Accessories
Yellow short cape (soft fabric), black hair piece (style 28604), and frequently paired with a Batarang or specific gadgets from the Batmobile set.
Color Scheme
Classic Robin primary colors: Bright Red, Yellow, and Dark Green, designed to be vibrant as a comedic contrast to Batman’s monochromatic look.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back. The face print is notably sharp, especially the transparency effect on the oversized green goggles.
Variants
Variants include a version with a slightly different facial expression in the CMF series and 'Dick Grayson' variants where he is out of costume.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the frayed edges of the soft fabric cape and potential 'cape line' marks where the neck meets the torso. Check the goggles print for scratches.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New: $12 - $15 USD. The value remains stable due to the widespread availability of the movie sets.
Price (New)
Retail price of the primary set (70905 The Batmobile) was $59.99 USD, which included 5 minifigures, valuing Robin at roughly $5-$6 at retail launch.
Compatible Sets
70905 The Batmobile, 70917 The Ultimate Batmobile, 70923 The Bat-Space Shuttle.
Character Background
This version represents Dick Grayson from The LEGO Batman Movie, voiced by Michael Cera. He is depicted as a hyper-enthusiastic orphan who accidentally gets adopted by Bruce Wayne.
Design Notes
A drastic departure from traditional Robin figures, using oversized goggles and a messy hair mold to capture the animated film's unique aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
sh303 Robin (Detective Comics version), sh011 Robin (Black Cape), and the Series 1 LEGO Batman Movie CMF Robin.
Collectibility
High for completionists of the movie line, but lower for general DC collectors who may prefer comic-book accurate versions. It remains a staple for Bat-family displays.
History
Launched in January 2017 as part of the massive marketing push for the spin-off film; this design has not been used outside of the LEGO Batman Movie branding.
Interesting Facts
The 'goggles' are actually based on the character's appearance in the 1960s TV show intro, transformed into a permanent costume feature for the movie.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the sh312 Batman from the same set inside the 70905 Batmobile. A bright white LED light helps the green goggles pop.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are popular for custom 'youthful' superhero MOCs, while the torso is useful for vintage-style Robin conversions using long legs.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic, expressive minifigure that perfectly captures the charm of the film. While not a high-value rarity, it is a design triumph with great character personality.
