Welcome back to AFi’s 11th Aniversary Scoop Week.   For our first reveal of the day we have a new 6″ DC Multiverse action figure from Mattel. The new figure is Carrie Kelly Robin from the original Frank Miller miniseries Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.
This figure was rumored back in January when someone found a listing of upcoming Multiverse figures in the Walmart computer systems, we are confirming that rumor and revealing the figure.
The original 3 Mattel DC Multiverse Dark Knight Returns figures, Batman, Superman and Son of the Bat are current Walmart exclusives.
In February, at Toy Fair, we were shown two more Dark Knight Returns Multiverse figures, The Mutant Leader and Armored Batman.  These newly revealed figures will NOT be Walmart exclusives, and will be available everywhere in an upcoming Multiverse wave.
As it turns out Carrie Kelley Robin figure was supposed to debut at Toy Fair, but the figure was wrapped up and shipped to Toy Fair so well that it wasn’t found while the staff was unpacking and setting up. (Which is an understandable oversight seeing as the roof to the original venue for the collector press event collapsed the afternoon of the event so the Mattel staff had to scramble to move everything to another space around the corner.)
All that being said we are honored to be able to reveal the figure here for the first time on AFi as part of our 11th anniversary “Scoop Week”
This figure is a brand new sculpt and will be part of an upcoming wave of Mattel’s DC Multiverse 6″ action figure line. She will NOT be a store exclusive.
Thank you to the team at Mattel for letting us reveal the figure! We will have another Mattel figure reveal later this week so stay tuned!!
