@exciter1 said it was a great build so I know I need to pry open the wallet for one.  Waiting until 2/16 (I think it is) to use towards LEGO Shop at Home Disco/Tears Batman poly promo. Maybe PM with the batcave today at TRU.  

I had $100 in VIP points and told my son he could choose any set 100 or less and he choose clayface. He built it completely by himself ( he is 6). It took him a few hours but he really loved it. I think it is one of his favorite sets and that is saying something as his collection may put lord business to shame

Exactly the same for me. My son had $100 in gift cards to the Lego store, and this was the number one item on his list. It is a neat build, and has good play value. One thing not readily apparent on the front of the box is how you can switch the eyes around, and turn the mouth different ways, to create different expressions. 

A pretty cool set that could double as a MOC for Conker's Bad Fur Day of The Great Mighty Poo.

I am just going to say it.  As impressive as the build, the final product does nothing to me since I am not a fan of Clayface or mud in general.

I think he's cool. I know very little about he character, but it appears he'll smash your face.

He has the most potential out of any Batman rogues since his power is so flexible.  But he is usually written as 1/2 a step above regular henchmen with hammer smash as his go to move.  Batman finds a way to freeze him and that would be the end of the episode.

Current run of Detective Comics has Clayface as a bit of an anti-hero. Many people are enjoying how he's being written. He's written as a tragic figure.

Hmmmmm. I know I said I wouldn't buy it.. but as of 30 minutes ago this is fully built and displayed with the rest of my TLBM stuff. 

Glad I got it!

Looks and sounds like a DC version of Marvel's Sandman. Or is it the other way around?

Yeah a little bit. I haven't followed Marvel at all since the early 90s but I've at least paid attention to DC up until the present.

I vaguely remember Marvel's Sandman turned good. So I'm guessing the stories are at least similar.

I don't know about the comics last the early 90s either, but in the Toby movie trilogy he's a returning villain that actually plays a significant role in the maturation of Spider-Man. You end up feeling sorry for the guy. I think he helped with a robbery because he couldn't afford the cancer treatments for his daughter. Then he accidentally got transformed into the sandman. Daughter's still sick, he's a wanted freak, so he starts robbing armored cars. Not out of greed, but to pay for the treatments because the insurance companies won't cover her because she's sick and the hospitals wong take her because she's not insured. The whole point of course is to make you wonder, who's really the bad guy?

At least I know you read through the whole post. Consider it an Easter egg =)

Is this one worth stocking up on clearance?

All depends on buy-in

Yup, cheap enough and you´ll be fine. Does look a bit like my avatar, though.
