For a while now, if you wanted to get a spare Whiplash figure, it cost
an arm and a leg on Ebay since they were shortpacked w/ the other
toys. I walk into Target today and see THIS:

SWEET! A cheap Whiplash with COOL electrified whips instead of the
metal worms that came w/ the original packaging and Stern
pinball....and, some extra toys! I'm thinking of somehow putting that
Drone in the game....but it's pretty huge...not sure where it would
look good.

Here are the cool new whips on the Whiplash in my pin (the silicone on
his hands is still drying..hehe):

It looks nice. I hope you don't have any airballs take out those
electro whips.

They are a little flimsier than the stock whips....but they're glued
to his hands, so it should be OK. Worse comes to worse, I can put the
old whips back...but I like these. The flashers "glow through" the
whips pretty nicely too!

So Greg, did you drill this sucker out and fit it with an LED also?

I went to Target right after work, but alas, Whiplash was nowhere to
be found. I think I'll try Target online.

Thanks for the heads-up,

I don't think you'll find him on his own, but he's in this Target
exclusive 3-pack.

Yeah, the three-pack wasn't at my local Target. I'll try online and
report back.

I was not able to find it on Target.com.

Please post here if you are able to find it.

So I searched Target online for the exclusive (and elusive) 3-pack,
but to no avail. I did find a couple things that made me stop and take
a look, such as the "Sassy Adult Black Widow Costume", but no Whiplash
goodness.

I'll try a different Target this weekend.

Today I went to a different Target that is about 10 miles south of the
one I visited yesterday, and eureka! There on an aisle end cap sat
several 3-packs with Whiplash lookin' all cool with his flaming green
whips. Needless to say, I bought one. The new whips will be installed
this weekend.

Thanks Greg!
