A super
villain in the world of Batman, Killer Croc was created by writers Gerry Conway
and Gene Colan. He was drawn by comic book illustrators Don Newton and Curt
Swan. Killer Croc first appeared in Batman number 358 published 1983.
Killer Croc’s
real name is Waylon Jones. He was born with a rare skin condition that worsens
over time and ultimately transformed him into a reptilian like creature hence the
nick name Killer Croc. When he was a young kid Waylon was abused by his
guardian. Finally the day came when Waylon snapped and killed his abusive aunt
for treating him wrongly. The murder of his aunt kick started Waylon’s criminal
career until he was defeated by the dark knight.

Collectibles’ Killer Croc stands at around 10 inches and has excellent
articulation. Similar to the Arkham Origins Series 1 Bane figure, Croc came in
a box instead of the standard bubble plastic.

reptilian body was well detailed and was painted just as well as it was
sculpted.
