1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 237D06 - Iron Man 2: 1/6th scale Whiplash Mark II Collectible Figure

[goatchumby]

Picked up Whippy using that sweet BBTS promo deal. Now I just need a Wasp announcement to use it on.

I'm not surprised collectors are still trying to pick this guy up. Since he's still available at a decent price, id suggest getting him. Regardless of what you have, I think he's amazing. Obviously if you have a Mark 6, WM MKI or both, get this guy now!

Great pics! I’m planning on displaying mine, similarly.

 

[Motuxmen]

It’s a great figure. Congrats

Finally gave in and ordered this with the BBTS sale . Amounts to paying $250 for him with the store credit promo they are running. I have nearly bought and then passed on this seemingly about a hundred times. Should look great with the diecast Mk 6 and WM Mk1. Ordered one of those el neon wire kits too.

Gonna go broke on the BBTS rebate deals. Too many I still need. Whiplash was a no brainer.

Is Whiplash II terribly short now that the diecast Mk VI is so much taller...?

I looked into this a bit and it doesn't seem to be the case. Diecast Whiplash is said to be 13" tall and does not look significantly taller than Mk 6 in the movie, just bulkier. To my eye he looks about right...but I have been wrong before

Given the new VI is about an inch taller than the original, Whiplash II will seem a little short.

Oh no! My diecast Mk 6 has been in his detolf prison for awhile but I am going to have to pull him out and measure head to toe when I get home. In that Budget Stark video he says Whippy stands 13" tall. Can the diecast Mk 6 be taller than that? Because if you add an inch to the plastic version in your photo the 6 would be taller than Whiplash...

Yeah, I think the new VI and WL II will be about the same height at best, worst is VI is a wee bit taller. That pic is from the BudgetStark video.

So you need to either use the WL II stand to give him a boost or bend the VI's knees. That is, if you have them together. WL II is still an awesome figure and I'm considering getting it myself. Maybe my old VI still serves a purpose -- to be battling WL II.

I wonder if the legs/shins are extendable in any way to cheat some height?

I do not think there is an inch difference between plasti. And diecast mk6, is there?

I have the diecast War Machine mk 1, I'll measure him too. I'm starting to wonder if the diecast Mk 6 is a bit too tall, I mean RDJ is not even close to 13" on a 1/6 scale? Not sure yet how I will display the 3 of them together anyway as the mk6 base is a total mismatch for the other 2 figures. Ultimately the diecast armors will likely be rotated some in my collection because I am also all in on the mk 1-7 diecasts.

Maybe not an inch but pretty close...







Now someone scale this pic with the BudgetStark one and you'll see about how they (DC VI + WL II) measure up.

 

[Motuxmen]

I have both. I can just take a picture

There’s a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch difference between the plastic and DC when they both are posed with their legs same width apart and knees bent the same. And whiplash is 1/4 to 1/2 inch taller then the DC.

Thanks Whiplash has at least a bit of a height advantage on the mk 6 so I won't be too bothered by the scale of the two. Whiplash also looks appropriately bulkier. I measured the mk 6 and WM diecast mk 1 and War Machine is slightly taller than the 6 by about 1/4" or less. So the height of War Machine and Whiplash are probably pretty close.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Oh good, looks better than I feared. Thanks for the picture. Whiplash looks satisfactorily larger.

You are welcome.

And yeah, the WL mk2 is much bulkier then the mk6. Even bulkier then the WMDC I think. It’s a beast of a suit. Visually one of the best hot toys has done. Thing looks great.

dafuq, where does the extra height come from???? which one is more to scale?

 

[bebe13junior]

These 3 are in perfect scale with each other.

Unlike the new MKII.
