Summary
The Punisher figure offers multiple versions including a trenchcoat-wearing masked variant and a Thunderbolts costume with a red skull, expanding character variety in the line. Its exceptional arm articulation enables highly natural posing, surpassing previous 6" Punisher figures. The extensive accessories package features numerous weapons, three distinct head sculpts, and detailed armor with a functional knife sheath, making it one of the most comprehensive Punisher figures at this scale.
Pros
- Multiple versions planned, including trenchcoat with mask and Thunderbolts Punisher with red skull symbol
- Exceptional arm articulation enabling natural rifle holding and dynamic posing
- Extensive accessory set: three head sculpts (standard, beaten-up, yelling), multiple interchangeable hands, armored skull vest with knife sheath, combat and automatic pistols with extra clips, machine gun, grenade launcher with six grenades, submachine gun, and display base with posing post
- Detailed silk-screened armored vest with textured look and usable knife sheath
- Beaten-up alternate head sculpt highly praised for quality and expression
- Priced at $80, considered reasonable for a figure with this level of detail and accessories
- Scheduled release in December 2016 with availability through Entertainment Earth including free shipping
Cons
- Yelling/screaming alternate head sculpt considered over-the-top by some collectors
- Some variants (trenchcoat, masked) may initially be harder to obtain, possibly as exclusives
- Price higher compared to typical Marvel Legends figures, which may deter casual collectors
