Rumour has it Legends will also be getting a Punisher van at some stage in 2018

The video bike looks like the engine's plastic is actually painted. It also doesn't suffer from lighting over-exposure. We'll see if in-hand product matches what was shown.

A missed opportunity, especially during the transitional period of rebranding Marvel Universe/Infinite series to 'Marvel Legends'.

So much missed money. The comic packs got hot and they doubled-down on those. They should have suspended them for comic-accurate vehicles.

It definitely was a failure and I don't think the speckling of 1/12-scale land-speeders, hell-cycles, tie-fighters, and maybe punisher vans is making a dent in the market of what GIJoe and SW used to do in 1/18 scale.
