Recieved yesterday from The Collectibles Store in Belgium:
Hot Toys - MMS 237 - IRON MAN 2 - Whiplash Mark II
I already was collecting the villians of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and of course Whiplash plays a part in that aswell.
Sadly Hot Toys isn’t really focusing on releasing all the bad guys from the Marvel movies, for example a Malekith or a Ronan is nowhere to be seen.
My preference went out to the MARK II of Whiplash instead of the MARK I version, because i’d rather have an amored up version to display against Iron Man than the jump suit one.
After having played around with it for a while, I can say he is pretty good to pose up, only I come to the same kind of poses everytime, trying to make him look menacing.
I also wanted to make of him with my Iron Man and War Machine, but I don’t have that kind of display space for at the moment.
The Armor looks great, really nice, the headsculpt is nice aswell, just totally off, when looking at the movie, there his whole face is shown, instead of a small part that is in his helmet, like with the figure.
Gotta watch out with the light up switches, they are very small and fragile, I’ve seen them break off at other collector’s Whiplash figures.
The whips look great, especially with the little effects on them, sadly the light up function sucks major balls!, only a small light at his wrist and that’s it! Not the whole whip lights up sadly.
I did see some custom work done by others, so it is possible to make it work.
I made some quick pics of this monster.
Enjoy!
