He is the armor clad, energy, whip wielding specialist, Whiplash! The most loved villain ever battled in Iron Man 2. Recreating an Arc Reactor based on his father's design and building armor similar to the Iron Man's, Whiplash has terrified Tony Stark at the Monaco racing track.
In response to the continued popularity of Hot Toys’ earliest creations, we are pleased to officially present the 1/6th scale Whiplash collectible figure with a road and pavement diorama figure stand as an exclusive item available only in selected markets.
The movie-accurate figure is skillfully crafted based on Mickey Rourke's portrayal of Whiplash/Ivan Vanko, Iron Man's enemy in the movie, features a newly painted head sculpt with detailed hair sculpture, remarkable patterned tattoos on upper body, LED light-up Arc Reactor on chest and back, finely tailored costume with burnt marks, Whiplash’s deadly electricified whips and electric effects, as well as a specially designed diorama figure stand.
This is one of four figures being offered as one of Hot Toys summer exclusives which this year likely means made available online in some way. Stay-tuned for more details on how or where these will be released in the coming days.
And Hasbro, the master license holder, can't make a ML of this guy becausewhy........? I'm sure it's well within their capacity and even though I think the excuse to this point is that the actor wouldn't cooperate for the photo real tech, somehow a third party company was able to make a pretty damn good sculpt. I guess we'll just have to wait for an MCU 20th anniversary line.

Orange. The suit was orange. They couldn't even be bothered to fix the color since the last time they released this figure. Woof.

Yikes. These are usually way out of my price range and even more so since it's an exclusive - but I might just have to swallow hard and get this one! What a great figure! It's amazing that Hasbro has never made an attempt at making a figure of this character from the movie. A 2-pack with him and Justin Hammer from the movie would be amazing! (As would a 3-pack of the Warriors Three, just saying).
