I'll be keeping an eye out for the Earth-Two Robin figure. I know the placeholder picture indicates it likely is the Neal Adams costume design but I'll keep fingers crossed that the final product will be the Mike Sekowsky design from the Golden Age Robin's first Silver Age appearance in Justice League of America #55.
By the way, Andy, if donuts are your thing, if you ever find yourself in Estes Park, CO, go to Squatchy Donuts. Try the banana cream pie donuts, they're quite tasty.

Donuts are a passion for me-- not easy to do when you've vowed to say at your high school weight of 179lbs, but it makes me selective. I will absolutely check them out! Blue Star in Portland Oregon currently is my favorite Donut shop but the king can be toppled!

I missed the Earth2 Robin too-- the only Robin's I like are the Golden Age one, Doug Croft and the Sekowsky version from Justice League in the 60s.

For my money, the best Earth-2 Robin figures were this era/costume design as seen in DC Direct's Crisis on Infinite Earths wave:

Mattel's DC Universe Classics / 75th Anniversary version was a good sculpt:

...but not quite on the great level of the COIE version.

McFarlane retro Batman '66 street clothes Bruce Wayne. An easy custom using McFarlane's retro '66 Commissioner Gordon for the body and retro '66 Batman unmasked for the head. Videos show how it easy it is.

The 6" Burt Ward works well with the 7" Adam West. Seems more comic accurate like it's Robin Year One.

Fresh from the reveal at SDCC preview night...

As much as some of these are true-to-fashion McFarlane repaints, as someone who owns multiple foreign "Batman: The Movie" posters, i'm sure as heck picking up the red suit variant!

I like that the Joker's costume looks to be more Magenta than purple.

Are these it for the next wave or will there be more reveals in the days to come at SDCC? Usually they have a presentation. Hoping for Mad Hatter!

I'm unclear on the answer to that right now, as to my knowledge these figures weren't (all of) the ones slated on the dealer lists that we see leaked ahead of time.
