Mattel Masters of the Universe 200x Whiplash Action Figure

The Mattel Masters of the Universe 200x Whiplash action figure, released around 2003, is a popular collectible known for its updated design compared to the vintage line.

General Appearance and Design:

 * Green Color Scheme: True to his classic look, Whiplash maintains his characteristic green reptilian skin tone.

 * Enhanced Detail: The 200x line, designed by Four Horsemen Studios, aimed for more intricate sculpting and detail, and Whiplash is no exception. This includes more defined scales, spines down his thighs, and scale-like patches on his shoulders.

 * Muscular and Monstrous Build: The figure accentuates Whiplash's powerful, monstrous physique, giving him a more imposing presence.

 * Reptilian Hoof-like Feet: A notable departure from previous versions, the 200x Whiplash features detailed reptilian feet, recalling his vintage influence while providing a modern update.

 * Lizard-like Torso: His torso often features a lizard-like scale pattern, sometimes achieved with a soft plastic overlay to maintain articulation.

Key Features and Articulation:

 * Articulated Tail: One of Whiplash's most iconic features, the tail is often a prominent part of the figure. In the 200x line, it typically comes in two pieces that connect, allowing for 360-degree rotation. While some collectors hoped for a bendy tail for more dynamic poses, it's generally sturdy.

 * Good Posability: Whiplash generally offered decent articulation for various battle poses. The plastic used for his loincloth is often flexible to allow for dynamic tail-whipping poses.

Accessories:

 * Trident Staff/Spear: Whiplash typically comes with his signature trident staff or spear, often made of sturdy, bulky plastic.

 * Tail Whip: In some iterations, the tail itself is designed to be wielded as a whip.

Collectibility:

 * The Mattel Masters of the Universe 200x Whiplash is a highly sought-after figure among collectors.
