MMS121 - Iron Man 2: 1/6th scale Whiplash Limited Edition Collectible Figure

[Rackemup]

This sculpt is pretty cool and I think he will be joining my collection. :chew

 

[thebatman297]

It's creepy how realistic that head sculpt is.

I second that.......

 

[Biojex]

very nice, I like it a lot. I will most definitely be keeping my pre-order.

 

[Bentargett777]

Yep this figure is being added to the collection if he turns out like this.Amazing

 

[OMG]

May get this one, the exoskeleton is just too sexy, but I hate Mickey Rourke since 9 1/2 weeks ....

I will wait till 29th this month when the movie come out see if there's a V2 Whip then I'll decide. HT also got a suprise when pre-order any IM figure at the end of april.

 

[dominishin]

If the headsculpt looks nearly as good in-hand, it's a definite purchase for me.

 

[cr`]

easy pass for me since the poa are such an eyesore. what's the point of making the face realistic if the body looks so blatantly like an action figure? it detracts the overall illusion.

after leonidas, the rubber skin should be the norm for all unclothed body.

Now where the ____ is Wookster with the HQ pics!!!

Its almost 8AM here in UK, so I'm sure Wooks will post HQ pics soon!!

 

[shakesnake]

looks good, like the new body

 

[eighthsamurai]

finally, mickey rourke in 1/6. maybe an extra for a randy the ram custom?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Sculpt is very impressive.
Body with tats is great.
Cool harness.
Sucks about the overalls colour.
Cheap looking electricity.
Low on extras, (due to the scene being replicated).

Easy pass.

 

[Minimodel]

With regard to the orange jumpsuit,maybe the inmates at Guantanemo Bay complained his character was depicting them in a bad light?? ; 0 )

 

[Centrocal]

Isn't the Hasbro figure also wear plastic brown pants? Makes me wonder if it will be orange in the actual film

They will be orange in the film.

It mentions why the merch has brown in the specs on page 1.

 

[Centrocal]

For me, the orange is what makes this characters costume really 'pop' But I guess it will be easy to to dye the fabrics. Probably have to re-do the weathering tho.

The muscle body look great. Is it different from the wolverine body? looks kinda like the mid-drift is wider. Obviously they could not go with the rubber body like Leonidas because with a character like this waving its arms around, people will leave it posed with its arms up indefinitely. (Which they tell you not to do with Leonidas ) They could have used the Dutch style arms but then there wouldn't be any tattoos

In some shots the lightning works and in others it looks like spaghetti. From what I can tell, it seem they are flexible. At the very least you can easily just clip them off, but think they will be removable

I don't think my pics are any more hi-res, but here ya go anyway-

He looks great, and it's a good use of the articulated, yet sculpted body, but I would have prefered a solid abdomen piece, either as a non movable solid piece, akin to the rubber bodies, or like the female truwtypes, with articulation underneath, but a solid rubber sleeve over the top.

 

[DinoLast]

Looks amazing, but I can't help thinking the whip electrical charge colour looks wrong

 

[Hound]

Loving all the details but the body looks just so odd with the joints being exposed. Like everyone else has said, if it had a rubber cover it would be perfect.
