I had a lot of questions on where this one will be available. Mattel said New Eternia Whiplash will be Target Exclusive this Summer, then available to all retailers starting in the Fall.
I can't wait to get ahold of this one and give him some custom paint. I've customized nearly every Masterverse figure I've purchased. This is definitely a line that gets to that 90 yard line. The sculpts are amazing with a fantastic level of detail, but suffer from mass production paint jobs. I usually add some washes, drybrushing and minor detailing to pick out the sculpt. It makes a world of difference and I really enjoy interacting with the figures in this way. It's become a big part of my collecting hobby.
Yes a few details painted like the jewels on the belts and highlight washes and low light washes like Whiplash has on his scales here can really make a figure pop.
I guess you’ve never seen classics because this thing looks super cheap with weak sculpt and less paint apps. I unfortunately missed out on classics whiplash but I’d rather have nothing than have this turd
What I love about the New Eternia figures are the sometimes wildly varying body types. Two Bad and Furry Beast-Man - they give a whole new context to those brutish characters. Gotta admit, I'm only 59 seconds into the video, but here's hoping Whiplash is another big, burly boy to round out Skeletor's monstrous henchmen!
I love the BeastMan in “vintage” garb. I refer to his new fluffy/nearly glitter-looking fur and helmet as his “70’s Elton John” armor, so that stays in the pack. He’s still a big brute without it! Shadow Weaver turned out virtually perfect in Masterverse, and Two-Bad is HUGE and fun! Biggest issue is some do not like standing, and it seems every brand/line has chosen a slightly different sized peg hole so some display stands are loose, others too tight, then there go the dominoes of figures meticulously set-up! Still loving Origins for sticking to “G1” with articulation, but ankles on both lines can be iffy. Still better than Neca’s(?) evil D&D War Duke with the blue helmet: sculpt is gorgeous. Upon carefully opening, cutting all ties, his arm fell off, his gold chain for his scabbard was a joke that broke, and as I slid the mid-size sword out the blade snapped off the handle. Last: goes for Masterverse and GI Joe Classifieds: the double knee joints can confuse me as to which should be bent for a classic “L” shaped lunginging or squatting stance. Neither tend to look quite right. Maybe ball-joints would look more natural and avoid the gaps in both arms and legs. Curious how others choose to bend them. Thanks again!
I was thinking more along the lines of Filmation Hobbit/LotR orc, myself. I still like the squat look of the 2002 Whiplash, esp if you face him off against Ram Man.
I love that this figure is taller than most others in the masterverse line. Whiplash is meant to be big and imposing and he should stand over other characters, so, kudos mattel!The articulation is great and, if you were so inclined, you can army build with this figure! Imagine a Caligar army! Kick the crap out of a trooper of Horde troopers imo
I'm gonna wait until he's available everywhere to get him. I've got so many figures hitting my PayPal right now, it needs a break. Overall, a great figure.
The blast of new figures is real. I just shipped my Pile of Loot from BBTS and am overwhelmed. And of course, more just hit in stock as soon as I shipped. 🤦♂️
Fam, Clawful arrived the other day and is a blasted work of art. Masterverse is killing it y'alls. As far as how I plan to display this figure? I'm probably going to rock both looks at different times.
I wish they did the new Clawful figure in the same larger scale as whiplash. The clawful is one of my favorite figures in the line- but hes so much smaller than he should be.
Agreed about those elbow joints. I really wish Mattel would fix those, they are the worst part of the male Masterverse figures. Otherwise quite a cool looking figure! Great review as always :)
Hm, I wonder if the armor and belt will work on one of the Beast Man figures... That'll be fun to try out. Hooray for Target exclusives! They still haven't shipped my Sun Man from nearly a year ago.
Oof. These retailer exclusive are no Bueno. At least he'll be open to everyone e in the Fall, so if you can wait you can hopefully just order from BBTS or a pla e like that.
Hey Dan good video sir as always. This whiplash is not a bad figure. I just don't like the extra armor and the helmet. The extra weapons and excessories are cool
Great video! Thank you! If I manage to get this guy, he's getting repurposed as a Caligar guard. MOTU Casuals: i hAtE thIs NeW loOk! LamE! Me, a MOTU Scholar and Historian [Nodding in sage aproval]: Ah, yes -- a fitting tribute to the original 1982 Colin Bailey "Lizard Man" concept art . . . . 😉
One little issue I had with my New Eternia Two-Bad is his new extra belt. After getting it off to get him more vintage looking, I have Ed been able to get it back on without the rear tabs on the belt strap coming loose any I move him. Just not quite long enough or the tabs aren’t quite raised enough to hold it in place. Anyone else? How about for Whiplash? Does he have the same issue? No dealbreaker, but c’mon QC! Thanks all!
@@Pixel-dan Dan, I am a fan of both your and Scott's channels, and I think he's not completely wrong. I live in Europe, where until last year I could find MOTU figures in some toy stores here and there. Now, they completely disappeared. Perhaps in US you still have a chance of finding them at retail, but for a big chunk of the western world, online has been the only way to buy MOTU for a while already
Not sure how I feel about the New Eternia look on this one. Kind of looks more like a troll or goblin out of D&D or something. Lately, Mattel has been hitting it out of the park with the New Eternia figures, but this one just seems kind of meh to me on first impressions. My opinion may change if I see it in hand.
I actually do think the added armor is a good look... but not for Whiplash. I feel he looks like a completely different character with it on. I'm not sure. Maybe I just need to get two.
I'm an 80's Generation. I have to go with what I grew up with and that's the original because I had a lot of fond memories of going to the toy store to purchase the latest HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Action Figure. Like one year my Mom bought Castle Grayskull the original for my Birthday. I am currently trying to get back the Action Figures I used to have. You have an awesome channel and the video brought me back to my childhood. Have a great night 🙂
Masterverse just sucks. The few I have I’ve certainly not enjoyed paying a premium for extra accessories that go straight in the bin just to get the iconic versions that are still inferior to classics or any version really. They’re ok at best but I’m doing gi joe classified so that’s my bag right now and far more worth investing in as they look way better on a shelf
I had a lot of questions on where this one will be available. Mattel said New Eternia Whiplash will be Target Exclusive this Summer, then available to all retailers starting in the Fall.
Will you get and review the selftransforming and voice controlled Optimus Prime?
What about the question on when retail will receive wave 9,10, 11,12 and 13 of origins
It’s already available in Germany
Found him at Targets in South Florida

5 months later and I’ve never seen him in stores
Best Whiplash figure out there. The character’s look was always kinda plain, but the new additions sure makes him pop!

@@firefly44220 Classics are still cool, but that one is a bit meh. I much prefer this one. Different strokes for different folks I guess 🤷🏻♂️

I really appreciate how u can display him with a more classic look
With his armor and helmet on He really looks like something Jack Kirby could've designed. Wich fits👍
Totally!
I was thinking more along the lines of Filmation Hobbit/LotR orc, myself.
I still like the squat look of the 2002 Whiplash, esp if you face him off against Ram Man.
Love the full sculpted tail
Not hollowed out like usual! Pretty sweet.
🤯 Castle greyskull and snake mountain need torches! Cool figure. Thanks Dan

I remember watching this channel as a kid.
I grew up on this channel. Good times :)
I like the fact that the new armor really adds to the dull colors of the original appearance of the character 🤓👍
I noticed you haven't reviewed Jitsu. Did you get him or did you skip him?
He look good and cool love Dwight Jr 👍👍👍👍
Fam, Clawful arrived the other day and is a blasted work of art. Masterverse is killing it y'alls. As far as how I plan to display this figure? I'm probably going to rock both looks at different times.

The release has to be soon. All in on New Eternia. Very old school!
With the exception of NE He-Man with awful and disappointed heads sculpting.. his principal head doesn't look as He-Man
Agreed the new eternia masterverse line some of the figures are great. I got my whiplash at target Friday. So they are popping up at target.
I'm loving the New eternia line!!!!
Another Masterverse figure that is better than the Classics.
Glad to hear it won't be exclusive to target, otherwise many of us wouldn't be able to get it
Awesome! THX Dan🙏.
Cool!
No you're cool
Agreed about those elbow joints. I really wish Mattel would fix those, they are the worst part of the male Masterverse figures. Otherwise quite a cool looking figure! Great review as always :)
Everything in new eternia line looks freaking awesome!! Can't say the same for the motu revelations figures
Loved the new gear! Still 200x has got the best face-sculpt...
Loving that scaley detail on the skin...it really makes him standout. Could live without the stooped look, though.
Yeah, honestly think I'm with you on that. Not sure why it bugs me I can't straighten his legs, but it does.
loving this one
I wating for your up close and personal take on the Mega Snake Mountain. Or did I miss it?
I really like the Eternia version, cant seem to find any vehicles for the 7 inch figures though!! Maybe they haven't produced any yet!!
Hm, I wonder if the armor and belt will work on one of the Beast Man figures... That'll be fun to try out. Hooray for Target exclusives! They still haven't shipped my Sun Man from nearly a year ago.
Oof. These retailer exclusive are no Bueno. At least he'll be open to everyone e in the Fall, so if you can wait you can hopefully just order from BBTS or a pla e like that.
oh man, I don't even want the figure, but I want that torch :D
He looks awesome great review
Thanks!
I like both version!
Maybe I should get two of these to display it both ways at the same time.
Hey Dan good video sir as always. This whiplash is not a bad figure. I just don't like the extra armor and the helmet. The extra weapons and excessories are cool
Great video! Thank you! If I manage to get this guy, he's getting repurposed as a Caligar guard.
MOTU Casuals: i hAtE thIs NeW loOk! LamE!
Me, a MOTU Scholar and Historian [Nodding in sage aproval]: Ah, yes -- a fitting tribute to the original 1982 Colin Bailey "Lizard Man" concept art . . . . 😉
AMAZING figure! Top 5 Masterverse easy.
I am definitely enjoying New Eternia
Is there any chance that Mattel will make New Eternia figures for Origins, too?
I love em!!!

I just bought this today at target for $10.
Excelentes videos, informativos, completos y convincentes, la parte que más me gusta es el tiempo de comparación, saludos
Motherboard Whiplash when
I like the new look. It’s better.
Everything,❤
Hate the knees....love the rest of him.
Oh wait he is going to retail? Spector just made a video saying they were just online?
He is very wrong.
Yes sir he is but will never admit it. Thanks for all your great content!

200x whiplash is still my #1

army build caligar soldiers with it. Standard Whiplash and an army in armour behind him
Bro you been commenting on this channel for 6+ years 😭

Very nice design, too bad I don't like these new Masterverse articulations
Thats sick I can't wait to have and review it on my channel
Like where is the preorder for this figure. No info from Mattel but apparently, they are just shipping to reviewers. What is deal?
Info is in my video and in my pinned comment.
Target exclusive this Summer.
Available to all retailers in Fall.
He definitely looks better without the armour. That new gear doesn't fit with his colour scheme, and looks like he raided Green Goblin's wardrobe.
I think the Green Goblin reference is proof that the purple DOES work with the green. 🤪

This guy does not look like a wimp(lash)!
That’s how all Masterverse arms are sculpted 🤦🏻♂️
Yup. Been complaining about it since wave 1.
It looks like Whiplash has been on a diet!
Usually he is portrayed as being chubby.
Pretty disappointed with both looks. A generic lizard solider or a pretty bad rendition of the classic look.
Compared to every other whiplash ever made, this new one looks like junk. The armor is neat, but Masterverse in general, looks like rushed junk.
Bruv,lol
Muy aburrido 😒 lo de He-man cuando vas hacer más de tmnt playmates vintage, eso son los mejores 👏🏻
