Best of all- it's been two issues and Frank has not said a single word! it's all about other people's recations to Frank and the violence all around street level MU.

If you dont have this yet it'll totally rock your socks!

I have yet to read anything after he got back to normal from being Frankencastle, which I did enjoy. I got a new mission! I also CANNOT wait for the new Punisher figure, holy fuck.

I think that was the exact point where marvel said "Lets have captain America have really poor judgment, crappy leadership skills and an ego that prevents seeing common sense."
It's only gotten worse lately with him not leading in any way during Fear Itself.

Meh. I'll go back and re-read my old DeMattis/Zeck cap stuff and feel better.

But That Steve figure does indeed rock...but the head loooks best ona Cap body!
And thanks for that Ultron Comparison shot- looking at the two raelly made me aprecieate the new version as awesome unto itself- that steel color instead of silver makes him look incredible.

If only they'd done Doom's armor that way!
I may buy a secnd Ultron for just that purpose- I think Doom would be insane that way! And I have Steel paint for the mak...hmm...

Definitely pick it up- Grek Rucka is the writer and some new (but awesome) guy is the artist. Plus, it's only on issue #3 now, so it''s easy to get.
It is as much about the supporting characaters as Frank- two detectives (on of whom is obviously Morgan Freeman from Seven) and the victim of a horrible horrible gang shootout.
Oh, and a suprise backup story in #1 explaining who Frank's new source of info is!
Oh, and Norah from Spider Man is nosing around too!
I have not been a Punisher fan in many years but this really blew me away...and yes, now i'm psyched for a good frank figure!
the only thing is, whle not mentioned in the new series, Frank is now THIRTY YEARS OLD since that whole "Frankencastle" thing- so he looks youngish- like the old Jim Lee PWJ series look, but meaner.

Kinda Clint Eastwood meets the Terminator...with less talking.

Just sharing my recent Sentinel toyshoot. Thanks for looking.

Do Boy · 09-30-2011, 10:29 PM

Man, great pics!!!

NoodleChow · 09-30-2011, 10:31 PM

man i always forget how cool sentinel is. prolly cuz he no longer sits on my desk next to the monitor. time to put him back.

koolas · 10-01-2011, 01:51 AM

And here's Magneto! =)

Jason Abbadon · 10-01-2011, 05:36 AM

Awesome! The white glowy eyes is great!

Optimus Vader · 10-01-2011, 07:04 AM

Great photos, koolas. That Magneto looks badass.

Somehow I didn't catch that it looked like a Walmart ad until posting this..

ludovicotek · 10-01-2011, 09:15 AM

^ haha that's awesome! That's the pic from the new circular, right?

Optimus Vader · 10-01-2011, 10:10 AM

Yup. Rogers is wearing a Faded Glory denim suit. lol

RexLewis85 · 10-01-2011, 11:21 AM

I love that Magneto, and I can't wait to get him. He looks really sinister which if you ask me, is important for a Mags figure. On another note, I'm getting a shitload of MU figures from fellow Arkers, you guys know who you are, Thanks a bunch! I'll post em in the "Look" thread when I get them.

cellardoor · 10-01-2011, 12:37 PM

Managed to pick up a haul today that finally completed my modern avengers line-up, added to my x-force team and built up the ranks of the cosmic end of things.

Apologies for the pretty shonky photos!

Dylan in Oregon · 10-01-2011, 12:55 PM

Ha! I also gave Deadpool US Agent's Uzi! Love the pinky! Great finds and pics, man!

afgoosett · 10-01-2011, 01:41 PM

Went to TRU today to pick up some Adventure Time figures and low and behold I spot the Dr. Strange wave and the new X-23 wave. I mean THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT BECAUSE ALL THEY HAD WAS DOOMS AND ULTRONS FUCKING BASTARDSSSSS... Luckily I already have Commander Rogers and X-23 but I wouldn't have minded getting Strange and Darkhawk. Granted Doom fuckin sucks Ultron is pretty hard to pass on when in hand but I managed to because I loves some adv.time.

MATHEMATICAL
(baby blue boy's style)

Boba Fettuccini · 10-01-2011, 01:55 PM

Cellardoor, is the Wolverine in your X-Men shot the First Appearance body with another head put on?

LORD MARVEL · 10-01-2011, 02:07 PM

On the hunt on this beautiful cool fall day in Htown

vampireheart · 10-01-2011, 02:09 PM

Went hunting today specifically for the new captain britain and power man 2 packs to no avail but I did stumble across rogers and x23 which I already have so these are up trade if anyone has a 2 pack

cellardoor · 10-01-2011, 02:16 PM

Boba, the wolvie is the variant Jim Lee head on the walmart two pack body, i think the one with the black hand ninja. I have enough wolverines to swap heads at will now!

Tiberius · 10-01-2011, 02:31 PM

I got one in the works. Decided that the darker green Dr Doom is cooler. So my comic pack one is being used for Future Foundation! Wish me luck!

Boba Fettuccini · 10-01-2011, 02:39 PM

LOOK WHAT MY MAILMAN BROUGHT...

I have a sale pending on it... kinda limbo. If it doesn't go through by next week, this can be yours!

Also, playset diorama time.

It's the Arctic, and not a single snowboard Cap in sight!

I have that variant. I was kinda mixing and matching parts with a few different Wolverines to make one with my ideal costume and articulation. I was going with the Jim Lee body, but I hate that neck... so I dunno. Still looking at my options.

No, it is not, just used the picture to show what mine will look like. Minus the packaging. Going to take like 3-4 coats of flipping white paint though haha.
