Character Background
Gorilla Grodd is a supervillain in the DC Comics universe, primarily as an archenemy of The Flash, possessing super strength, intelligence, and telepathic abilities.
Design Notes
Uses the specialized 'big-fig' mold rather than a standard minifigure, allowing for a hulking, muscular silhouette that accurately represents the comic book character.
Similar Minifigures
Other DC big-figs such as Bane (sh043), Killer Croc (sh311), and Darkseid (sh194).
Collectibility
Moderate to high demand among DC Super Heroes and villain collectors, especially completionists seeking rogue gallery members.
History
Introduced in 2015 during the height of LEGO's classic comic-book-inspired wave of DC sets before transitioning heavily into movie tie-ins.
Interesting Facts
Grodd's big-fig mold allows him to scale appropriately against standard minifigure heroes like The Flash and Batman.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a sturdy baseplate within a DC villains or Justice League lineup, paired alongside speedster minifigures.
Modification Potential
Limited due to the specialized big-fig single-piece construction, though popular for custom DC dioramas.
Overall Assessment
An impressive and imposing big-fig that serves as a must-have centerpiece for any LEGO Flash rogue gallery collection.
