Character:
This Robin & The Penguin 2-Pack was released in 2006 by DC Direct as part of Batman: Dark Victory Series 1. Unlike Batman, Commissioner Gordon, and Scarecrow, Robin and The Penguin were not released individually, but were packaged together as a special 2-pack.
Batman: Dark Victory by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale serves as the sequel to The Long Halloween and tells not only the story of the mysterious Hangman murders, but also an important chapter in the origin of Robin.
Dick Grayson is a young circus acrobat whose parents are murdered during a performance. Bruce Wayne recognizes in Dick the grief and anger he himself faced after the murder of his own parents. Eventually, Bruce takes him under his wing, and the partnership between Batman and Robin is born.
Oswald Cobblepot, better known as The Penguin, meanwhile represents the colorful underworld of Gotham. His striking appearance is directly based on the highly stylized art style of Tim Sale.
DC Direct combined both characters in this special set. Robin is approximately 3.75 inches tall and appears in his classic colorful costume, while The Penguin measures approximately 4.25 inches. Both figures are therefore significantly smaller than the Batman and Commissioner Gordon from the same series, but fit perfectly in terms of scale.
For collectors, the original 2-pack release is particularly interesting. Robin and The Penguin were part of the only Dark Victory wave from DC Direct and were sold exclusively together.
