I really dig the version of Falcon that those bootlegs have. I'm on the fence about getting one, just so I can have the wings to better customize my Sam Wilson Cap...The deco on the Falcon I think is actually better than the Legends version (although the sculpt could still use some work.)

Finally got to opening up Frank and messing around with him, and while I don't think he exactly is the definitive version, he still scratches that itch for the classic black and white spandex look for the Punisher that we've yet to receive, making it a pretty good figure, but far from perfect.

For some reason, both of the heads feel too small for the larger body mold the figure incorporates, but that might just be me. The lack of trigger fingers really hurt the figure, and while I modded mine to have them, even then, the way the other fingers are sculpted can make getting a weapon into his hands a bit more of a chore than it should be. Also, on the left hand on my figure, I had to actually seperate the thumb from the rest of the fingers, as the thumb was stuck to the knuckle of the index finger. I highly recommend using a heat treatment on the hands to better shape them before trying to put anything in them, as it will make working with the figure a lot easier.

The weapons are a lot less gummy and flimsy than the recent Deadpool weapons, although I will admit, the SMAW that came with my figure was pretty badly warped in the packaging. Thankfully, the quality of the M-60 was much better than previous versions of the weapon we have received in the past.

Another thing of note, and I believe Glenn Webb pointed it out in his review as well, but the paint or whatever the type of plastic his hands are made of can actually stain when placing a weapon or accessory in them, which I thought was rather weird. This has never happened with any of my other Legends figures that have been casted with white plastic, so I'm wondering why this issue is suddenly prevalent with this one.

Here's a few shots...sorry about the quality of the lighting, I'm also in the process of a move.









The final arsenal of weapons I decided to give my Punisher. Frank has always had a preference for larger caliber rounds than that of the standard issue NATO types, so I think these work well for him. You can also see how badly warped the bazooka was straight out of the packaging.



@Dr Kain: While I didn't do an entire hand swap of the figures, as you can see from the photos, the Punisher's hands are actually a good deal larger than that of Fury's. I haven't inspected the peg size yet to see if they fit, but if you do switch them, you're gonna have to do both, otherwise you'll end up with a figure with one hand noticeably larger than the other.
