...The Brain...
...are both from the recent Walmart exclusive "Mallah's Revenge" six figure DC Infinite Heroes set. I traded an art commission to get these two along with Cyborg and Arsenal (whom I will review later.) I already have Raven so I still need the Robin from this set, but I'm willing to bet he shows up as a re-release later, so I'm okay missing out on him at this time. Or, if anyone out there has this set and doesn't want Robin, let me know!
Regardless, Mallah and The Brain are the gems here. First off, who would have ever expected to see these two relatively obscure Doom Patrol villains anywhere, let alone in the DC Infinite Heroes line-up. Mallah is great, he's a well sculpted gorilla and, unlike Gorilla Grodd, he's clad in a bandoleer and beret, which really set him apart as an intelligent and dangerous ape. The Brain is awesome too, complete with pink "grey matter" as seen through his plastic dome. And when you push down on the brain dome, his jaw moves up and down! Keen!
"Gee Brain, what're we going to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Mallah; try and take over the WORLD!"
Infinite Heroes: 14
Infinite Villains: 11
Thanks to Batman: Brave and the Bold, I know who these guys are. I would definitely buy Mssr Mallah if he were released individually. As it is, the only evil gorilla I have is Grodd's torso, which came with Harley Quinn.
ReplyDeleteWhen i look a Mallah i keep hearing Rage Against The Machine's Gorilla Radio playing in my head lol.
ReplyDeleteAwesome figures but they need a Doom Patrol set now...Robotman,Elasti-Girl,Negative Man and the Chief heck throw in Mento and Beast Boy and its Epic win!
