Robin comic was one of the companion titles to the original Eagle comic (along with Girl and Swift) - Robin was aimed at the youngest demographic of the 4 titles. I don't collect Robin material but I thought I should try and record what sort of spin-off ephemera, games etc. exist for Robin.
The main problem with this is that is you google "Robin comic merchandise" you get an awful lot of stuff relating to Batman's young assistant, grrr.

A Robin birthday postcard (front and back)...
...including nice Swift 'stamp' - Swift had launched on 20th March 1954 and this was sent on 20th July 1954 - so exactly 4 months later.
In the tradition of Eagle / Girl / Swift there were spin-off jigsaws, here's one that I've found so far...
And here's a money box...
I'm sure there must be more stuff out there - can you help?
