Along with a new costume (and a new kid to fill it) the nineties saw Robin get a new set of wheels, the Redbird!
This 1:43 die-cast vehicle is another car from the Corgi series of Bat-vehicles released in the early 2000s.
I was quite surprised to see the nineties Redbird in the Corgi line-up, but not surprised to find it as well done and comic accurate as the rest of this beautiful series.
As with all Corgi vehicles, this car has a little movable feature - in this case the engine is revealed beneath two vented hood components.
I don't remember this car hanging around in the comics for very long, but I seem to recall it's appearance being a big deal and coinciding with Tim Drake turning 16 and getting his first car.
No sneaking up on the bad-guys in this futuristic, flaming red sports car - with a big "R" on each side!
"I brake for clowns"
i do see the Redbird pop up every now and then. This is a great likeness.
