Captain Cold and Gorilla Grodd

The modern day Flash (introduced in the 1950s’s) has one of the most impressive Rogue’s Galleries of any superhero.

Two of his most nefarious foes are Captain Cold (the master of subzero weaponry) and Gorilla Grodd (the mad ape with impressive mental abilities).

Both have come close to ending the crime-fighting career of the Flash.  Remarkably the Flash manages to win the day-sometimes by the hair on his super-speed chin.

Captain Cold has the distinction of being one of the first super villains to come up against the Flash.

The Justice Captain Cold Collector Action Figure from DC Direct recreates Cold's classic costume.

Cold comes dressed primarily in blue.  His insulated jumpsuit also has white fur sleeve and trouser cuffs, white gloves, a white hood with fur lining, a hood tie and a modified shoulder covering of white that looks like icicles. 

He also wears tinted white goggles, a white weapon holster, a wide gold belt divided into hinged sections and gold leather straps and buckles to hold the belt in place.

His boots are white and his weapon of choice is a red freeze pistol with an extended barrel.

Included is a special Justice base with foot holes that hold the figure in place.

The face sculpt is nicely done with clear sharp features.  A threatening pose with hands clenched at his side and a defiant stance give the figure a menacing look.  Cloth folds are nice doe and successfully hide the articulation points.

The weapon fits snuggly both in the holster and hands of the figure.

The Gorilla Grodd figure is a slightly altered version of a giant ape.  The hair on the skull is slightly longer and the torso heavier with a huge midriff.

Both massive arms have long hair on the forearms and the equally huge legs are spread part to hold the large torso.

Grodd’s mouth is open in a snarl.  His large teeth and maw can be seen in their entirety.  His heavy brow protects his small intense eyes.

His feet and hands are thick and massive.  Paint application is varied giving Grodd’s fur a well defiant look. Sculpting is well done with careful attention given to the face and hair areas.

Like the Captain Cold figure Gorilla Gross’s box is rectangular with a clear plastic panel for display and viewing purposes.  The box can be set on a shelf or hung by its tab.
