So I wanted a live action Dick Grayson for my 4in live action, and I was a bit torn. I'm crossing my fingers that the Reeves movies get there eventually, but it would have been nice if, say, an older Dick Grayson showed up in that Batgirl movie that I'm totally not still salty about. However, failing that there were two other interpretations of Dick in modern live action, even if both are... not my favorites. I waffled between O'Donnell and Thwaites' portrayals for awhile, but while Thwaites is a pitch perfect Nightwing... I have Arkham and DCAU repping Black/Blue Nightwing already (not to mention it being the default on my Titans shelf as I mentioned with Disco Nightwing). The O'Donnell Redbird outfit is just such a unique looking outfit.

Body is a spare 89 movie Batman from Mattel's 4 inch line, with the new logo sculpted and neck piece shaved down and built back up. Head and Belt were 3d printed: Head was made from a program based on images to get a very loose likeness, with a mask by 3DCraftsman. Belt was commissioned from an Etsy seller who had a bunch of Forever/B&R Cosplay stuff (DEVINGart), but their store is no longer active and I can't find any info about why. Whole thing painted up, using metallic paints by TurboDork which look SO good.

Right? It was one of those things... initially I was considering doing Titans Nightwing instead because ewww Batman and Robin (I'm not huge on Titans either, but they do have some pretty costumes), but like... the more I looked at the Redbird design, the more I was like... yeah, I think I'll actually do that. Movie quality aside, it's actually a decent midway point between Robin and Nightwing, and it pops on the shelf really well.

Titans has some great designs, but this is a really underappreciated look. And Redbird is what Tim Drake should have started going by. Instead of Red Robin.
