Yeah, but it's essentially still a T600, which makes ongoing appearances throughout the film.

I guess I could liken this Whiplash situation to Cop Joker from TDK. I have one as a part of the DX Joker package, but on it's own I'd never buy it. Granted, we don't know if that'll be the case for Whiplash, but if the trailer's are any indication, I don't think that get-up will be the only one for this character.

...Or perhaps it's more akin to the Bank Robber Joker figure? Well, I bought that one. :lol

Yes but not looking like the HT weathered T600, actually even though I bought the EX version I prefer the full mask so thats how I have mine displayed, and technically that doesnt appear at all in the finished film!

From another point of view though, I also have the DX cop Joker and I still havent bought a TT for it because its just a little dull as a figure. Yeah the sculpt is unbelievable but walking into a room it just looks like a cop on a shelf, unless your a collector the detail could easily be missed. To my mind this Whipash design is very striking and thats pretty much what draws me. I actually don't have any IM figs but this one I just like a lot...

I dunno, its just different things for different people I guess, which is what makes things interesting :D
 
I don't generally buy stuff because of love of a property or character. I love TDK and adore the Joker in it but never really considered buying them as figure. I generally buy stuff that I like the way it looks.

Same here. If the figure looks awesome then I buy it. I bought John Connor because he looked great. Same with Marcus Wright. Joker Cop looks like a cop. Not interested. Whiplash looks amazing, so I'm going to buy. Very easy for me.
 
^^^^^ that's what I love about this hobby. Different strokes for different folks...
We all have our motivations for collecting. It's interesting to see this one. Personally, if I bought something purely because it looks good, I'd need another house to display my collection :) As much as I agree (up to a point) with that way of thinking, as a rule I generally stick to themes within my collection. It has to make sense to warrant buying.
I think this look for Whiplash will be his most iconic, as it's the one that's been sold to us during the build up. Hopefully he'll have a proper final look look too which Im sure will look kick arse. Anything in between will be an easy pass IMO

I can only afford a few figures so it limits my collecting. Also I only buy 1/6 figures so that limits it even more. I love great looking costumes and that is one of the main draws for me when it comes to figures. The armor on War Machine just really doesn't do it for me. I love the suits on figures, which is why Mark 1 is so amazing. That's the main reason I like this Whiplash so much. That and the tattoos. Awesome.
 
Im stoked to see this film. And I have Whiplash pre ordered! Cant wait for more photos and to have him in hand. :joy
 
not a fan of these international posters. this is pretty much like the 1st movie's int poster---a bunch of actors framed against the iron man armour. such a lazy composition. the 1-sheet of downey's head in the iron man armour was so much more striking.
 
agree, it's just as bad as the 1st film's posters. but then again, only tarantino films have cool posters, all others are hollywood's standard issue craps. even cameron's avatar has lousy posters. gotta appeal to the lowest common denominator, see.
 
ht better makes every curve in her bod counts. it'd be a huge shame if they let ugly poa make an eyesore out of a woman's curves, yet again.

i want black widow to be my first female ht figure. hope they dont screw up. fingers crossed.
 
She is the only reason to see Iron Man 2.

Does this mean that we might get a Sam Jackson Nick Fury??
 
How long does it usually take for the official pics to come out after a teaser?
