Manchild at Play: Arkham City Clayface

Clayface 16

In my quest to buy every single action figure DC Collectibles pumps out that’s based around the Batman “Arkhamverse” video games, I have so far managed to buy a giant alligator man, a steroid Joker and a colossal zombie. When Solomon Grundy turned up in the mail, I joked that…
