Character Background
Waylon Jones, known as Killer Croc, is a classic Batman villain suffering from a rare skin condition that gave him reptilian scales and superhuman strength, making him a formidable sewer-dwelling foe in Gotham City.
Design Notes
Utilizes the specialized large-figure (big fig) mold system introduced for characters like Hulk and Thanos, allowing for a much bulkier and physically imposing representation compared to standard minifigures.
Similar Minifigures
LEGO DC Big Figs such as Bane (sh275), Darkseid, and Hulk from Marvel Super Heroes.
Collectibility
Moderately high collectibility among DC Super Heroes fans and big fig completists due to the character's unique mold and limited appearances in large sets.
History
First introduced as a big fig in 2016 in the Killer Croc Sewer Smash set, representing a significant upgrade in scale over the 2006 standard minifigure version.
Interesting Facts
The big fig mold allows the figure to hold specialized oversized objects and features rotating wrist articulation not found on standard minifigures.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Batman and other Gotham City rogues on a dedicated DC Super Heroes shelf or diorama featuring sewer elements.
Modification Potential
Due to the custom-molded nature of big figs, customization is generally limited to swapping hands or arms, though they fit well into custom MOC sewer environments.
Overall Assessment
An impressive and imposing big fig with excellent shelf presence, highly recommended for LEGO DC collectors and fans of Batman villains.
