Reviews & Info
Pros
- Includes an extensive array of 51 accessories, including multiple guns (pistol, revolver with rotating cylinder, two shotguns with pump action, assault rifle, submachine gun with removable magazines, grenade launcher with removable and rotatable parts, rocket launcher, sniper rifle with bipod), C4 explosives, detonator, bullet effect, night vision goggles, duffel bag with functional zipper and strap, multiple belts and holsters, skull vest in red with combat damage and bullet holes, and a leather trench coat with internal wiring for posing.
- Features a highly detailed and realistic fabric costume with a black T-shirt bearing a distressed Punisher logo, sewn-together shirt and gray tactical pants with functional pockets.
- Head sculpts (three included) are highly detailed with realistic paint apps showing scars, cuts, bruises, and varied expressions (standard, battle-worn, and yelling).
- Exclusive packaging in a metal tin with a hinged lid and internal trays for accessories, enhancing protection and collector appeal.
- Over 32 points of articulation including double-jointed elbows and knees, swivel/hinge ankles with side-to-side movement, ball-jointed neck and torso with good range, butterfly shoulder joints, and wrist swivels with hinges.
- Comes with a round display base featuring a weathered Punisher skull logo and an articulated display arm for dynamic posing.
- Trench coat with bendable wire in the belts for posing, though no wire in the lining.
- Interchangeable hands (8 total) including fists, open hands, trigger hands, and grip hands for weapons.
- The duffel bag can actually hold most weapons and has a functional zipper and velcro strap.
- Paint details on weapons and gear are generally high quality with weathering and dry brushing for realism, though some accessories (grenade launcher, rocket launcher) appear more plastic and less metallic.
- Overall sturdy figure with good stability and posing capability despite minor lower torso articulation limitations.
- Night vision goggles fit securely over heads and eyes, with detailed paint including battery pack.
Cons
- No instructions included, making some accessory usage and outfit combinations challenging.
- Some parts are prone to coming loose or detaching unexpectedly (e.g., holster peg, small ports on belts, trench coat parts), requiring careful handling or gluing.
- Limited ab crunch and waist swivel; knees have limited articulation compared to upper body.
- Some minor paint chipping observed on belts and accessories.
- The sniper rifle stand is fragile and can easily detach.
- The figure’s body sculpt is shared with Captain America, resulting in a bulkier build that some feel is too large or mismatched for Punisher’s typical physique.
- The arms are plain plastic without the realistic texturing or paint detail found on the head sculpts, resulting in a slight mismatch in realism.
- The grenade/rocket launcher looks less realistic due to its plastic-like finish.
- Small zipper on duffel bag can be difficult to operate and may risk damage if forced.
