Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wasn't expecting too much from this action figure since they did the comic book version of the Punisher so well. However, when I took a look at it, I was pleasantly surprised by it. The articulation is good and the joints were all tight. The head wasn't too bad. The previous reviewer was right about the beard. It doesn't really look like a 5 o'clock shadow, that's for sure. He has the same hands and forearms as the Marvel Legends Blade figure. Consequently, his wrists get really loose after time just like my Blade's wrists did. He also has the same type of joint where the hip meets the lower torso as Blade. However, you can actually get Punisher's legs to stand close together--unlike the Blade figure's legs. Another nice feature that this figure has is the joint connecting the lower and upper torso (or, that joint that allows the figure to do stomach crunches). When you bend the figure at that point, it sort of springs back to an upright position. Neat! I wish all the Marvel Legends figures had this feature. Especially Colossus, Venom, Juggernaut, and Sabretooth. It's amazing! You may never have to worry about this joint getting loose again and having the figure slouch over when you stand him up. Another cool feature is the hip holster for his gun. It fits the pistol that comes with the figure and, if you want to customize a little, it fits Marvel Legends Nick Fury's pistol, too. You may have to cut the bottom out of the holster if you want it to sit in there real deep. The Punisher can also hold Nick Fury's gun really well in his right hand. But, as the previous reviewer mentioned, it would have been nice to have two holsters and two pistols to be true to the movie. The figure's clothes look great. The figure comes with a long, leather coat (again, just like Blade's), but it restricts the figure's arm movement. So, I took it off him and he still looks good. The coat has knives, gun clips, machine gun clips, and artillery shells sown onto the sleeves and main body parts of the coat. There is some amazing detail on those, too. They actually painted to top bullet in each of the clips so you can see it. Even his boot grips have a strip of silver paint on the toes and heel. This figure comes with a classic Spiderman comic book (featuring the Punisher and the Jackal teaming up to nail Spidey) and a wall mount that really doesn't mount on the wall. That's ToyBiz for you. Here's the bad part (for me), the weapons were not made very well and they come out of the package all twisted and misshapen. I was ticked about this because I wanted the weapons to look cool and they didn't. The weapons are the pistol and machine gun from the Punisher Marvel Legends Series 4, the bazooka from the Urban Legends boxed set, and an M-60 machine gun (I think). Again, the barrel on the machine gun was bent in one direction, the bazooka has a huge curve in it, and the M-60 had an S-shaped curve to it. All the Punisher's on the shelf were the same way. No way to get around it. If ToyBiz had paid a little more attention to making and packaging the accessories with a little more care, they would have had a better product.
