Red X Robin 5" Action Figure

I try to grab up Teen Titan action figures whenever I see them for cheap at the flea market or yard sales. I never really followed this toyline or the cartoon, but one character I am pretty fond of is Red X. Red X was initially Dick Grayson Robin in disguise, and I believe he later appeared shrouded in mystery with the possibility that Jason Todd had adopted this guise.

I've had the two smaller versions for some time, so I was ecstatic to find the larger version at a yard sale a couple weeks ago. Originally he would have had a 'unmasked' (yet still masked) Robin head, but I did not get that piece. for the twenty five cents this guy set me back, I really can't complain.

This larger Red X is really well articulated, much moreso than his miniature counterparts.

I really like the costume design of Red X. I'd love to see it adopted into official comic book canon, perhaps as a disguise used by Damian Wayne or something. Or even as a lone, mysterious vigilante; or sidekick to Deathstroke (Deathstroke Jr.).

Teen Titans GO!

I did go to the swap meet yesterday and I did buy some toys but I did not buy them for me - so I am still on track for my 28 Day Challenge!

What I did buy was seven Teen Titans Go action figures for my daughter's upcoming birthday. She loves the Teen Titans and since these toys aren't in stores any more I am always excited to find them at the swap meet and grab them up whenever I do. First up is Terra - my daughter already has a Terra in her Teen Titans outfit but this is her costume when she turned on the Titans (I think.)

I grabbed Raven, as Raven is my daughter's favorite super hero at the moment. I am pretty sure she already has a Raven but I didn't want to risk it, especially because I got all seven figures for $5. At that price I couldn't NOT get Raven!

This guy is a villain named Master of Games. I have never seen the episode(s) he appeared in, but apparently he has absorbed some of the Titans' powers as he has a Cyborg arm and a Beast Boy arm. Cool!

Another villain I picked up is Gizmo. He's some sort of mechanical genius and I seem to remember him taking over control of Cyborg or something like that.

I have previously blogged about my own Red X and here I have found a 'maskless' Red X (who is a masked Robin.) He also had his accessory which is pretty cool.

Another Robin variant I found is Robin in his 'Deathstroke' uniform he wore when Slade was trying to recruit him and turn him against his pals.

Finally I found Trident with his...trident. Another cool looking villain.

So there you have it. I found a lot of cool action figures and a loophole in the 28 Day Challenge since my daughter's birthday is right around the corner! Yay toys!
