diggity damn! It’s about time I did a video review, right?
Well
believe me, it’s not something I ever intended on doing. I don’t
care much for video reviews, as experiencing them is not as flexible
as a written review. I can read something almost literally anywhere.
But I can only watch videos in certain situations. And I don’t
particularly like watching internet videos anyway. I know that makes
me sound like some kind of maladjusted freak, but it’s true.
I
have to say, though, that these video reviews are somewhat less
time-consuming. The first two I have done took me roughly twenty
minutes each. Maybe thirty if you include writing the accompanying
pieces – which I feel obligated to write; I’m not just posting a
link to a video. I haven’t descended that far yet.
But
it’s a whole lot easier to sit down with the figure and just say
what I think about it.
I
basically only know these two characters from Batman:
Brave and the Bold
and Young
Justice.
But when you put a gorilla together with a brain in a jar I’m
pretty much sold. Throw their gay love in on top of that and you’ve
got an irresistibly weird pairing that I was more than happy to be
purchasing as part of the Club Infinite Earths subscription.
Since
I am covering all of my old categories in the review, I’m just
going to throw the detail pictures in below and then some notes about
anything I might have forgotten to mention. I’ll still put the
final score at the bottom.
- The Brain on the package art looks nothing like the figure included.
- The Mallah on the package has a pistol. The set does not. Matty might want to coordinate their package art with the figure production a little more thoroughly.
- The hole on the rifle that attaches to the bullet belt is painted red and sits just beneath Mallah’s finger when he is holding the gun properly. I think this might be to indicate that it is the trigger, which is kind of neat.

I
think this is going to be a popular set, particularly given the fact
that it’s the Club Exclusive. You might want to go ahead and hit
BigBad or try your luck on eBay if you want them. I don’t see them
getting any cheaper with time.

That is one badass looking gorilla. @_@
