Iron Man 2: 1/6th scale Whiplash Mark II Collectible Figure from Hot Toys
Seen only in the final minutes of the big-screen "Iron Man 2" movie, the WHIPLASH MARK 2 was by far the most memorable (even more than "War Machine") and even cooler of the armors seen, but alas, it had been cloaked in darkness on the silver screens … then the prototype was on show (MORE you say?), and I squirted a peep in my big-man-shorts … now the official product is ready to be unleashed, and it is DIECAST too!
Release date is 1st-2nd quarter of 2015. Do check in with your fav retailers for price and availability. I shudder at the cost tho…
PRODUCT PRESS: "At the climax of Iron Man 2, Ivan Vanko appeared in his new Whiplash Mark II armor and proved to be a formidable foe for both Tony Stark and Colonel James Rhodes. The Whiplash Mark II’s incredible mechanical design has left a strong impression for Iron Man fans and since the appearance of collectible figure’s prototype at various Hot Toys exhibitions, fans have been longing for the official reveal of this amazing armor.
Now we are very excited to present this eagerly awaited 1/6th scale Whiplash Mark II Collectible Figure. It will also be the newest addition to our MMS Diecast Series which the collectible figures are made of diecast material, realistically designed to look more like Whiplash Mark II as he appears in the movie. The MMS Diecast Series will take fans to the next level of authenticity, focusing on the materials, fine details and engineering of the collectible figure."
