That is the first time I have seen it but I am definitely going to have to pick that up!

In comparison to the Walgreens' release, specifically as it regards articulation, it falls short. As Triv pointed out, it has the same legs and pelvis as MCU Nick Fury/ Ultimate Nick Fury. Funky y-joint ball hips and no shin swivel prevent Frank from hitting a number of squatting poses. Additionally, there's no ankle pivot, but there are rockers with the expected amount of play up/down/side to side rotation. The fig also lacks bicep swivels, but has 90 degree/swiveling elbows that compensate for that; many of the Marvel Legends from that period experimented with that design. The wrists are also swivel, not jointed. There's no ab crunch, but a ball-socket torso with a great deal of play in conjunction with a swivel waist, provide many options. In all, weaker in the articulation department, but there are still interesting poses to be had.

As far as a sculpt comparison, that's where the fig shines. Preferences are different now, but I think it compares favorably to this latest Punisher. All kinds of details in the face, shirt, pants, buckles, boots, and weapons really make the fig stand out. That's why I actually bought the fig....or kept it, really. My real reason for buying it was to complete Nemesis, but I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the addition to my collection. I'm an articulation guy, at my core, but a slick sculpt will get me to buy also. I hope this is helpful, man.
