Today, I’m diving into the depths of the DC Multiverse with a look at the latest McFarlane Toys creation that’s lighting up the toy world—literally. Introducing the DC Multiverse Glow-In-The-Dark (GITD) Killer Croc Megafig, a figure that promises to be a monstrous addition to any collection.
Alright, let’s talk about this beastly beauty. The GITD Killer Croc Megafig is a jaw-dropper. As someone who’s had their fair share of restoration adventures, I can tell you that McFarlane has knocked it out of the park with this one. Standing at a formidable height and boasting an intricate sculpt, this figure perfectly captures the gritty essence of Killer Croc from the Arkham Asylum series.
Now, let’s get to the glowing part. There’s something inherently magical about glow-in-the-dark (GITD) toys. They take me right back to my childhood when the lights went out, and my toys came alive in a soft, eerie glow. The Killer Croc Megafig doesn’t disappoint. Whether you’re displaying it under regular lighting or letting it shine in the dark, it’s a spectacular sight.
A Quick Dive into Glow-in-the-Dark Toys
For the uninitiated, glow-in-the-dark toys have been a staple of the toy world for decades. The magic behind these luminous figures is actually a bit of science—phosphorescence, to be precise. The materials used in GITD toys contain phosphors, which absorb light and then re-emit it slowly over time, creating that iconic glow.
Classic Examples of GITD Toys:
- Glow Worms: These cuddly creatures from the ’80s lit up bedtime for countless kids.
- GITD Action Figures: Think early Ghostbusters or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which had GITD variants that were all the rage.
- Scareglow: A favorite among collectors, this Masters of the Universe figure is a classic example of GITD done right.
