I picked up Punisher from Dorkside today.



Mini Review:
Likeness: I think it's a pretty good match to JB. Not Hot Toys level but still really well done. I've never felt the past Mezco figures captured the likeness of the actor they were representing so this is a step up for them.

Outfit: The shirt is similar to the one worn by the original Punisher figure but the pants are an improvement. The fake cargo pants look really good and help sell the look.

Articulation: The single joint elbows are inadequate for a character who uses rifles (which is probably why they didn't include any). The vest limits the torso articulation but otherwise, everything has a nice ROM. You can get Frank to sideways hold rifles like he does on the show which looks ok.





Accessories: This part bothers me a little. The costume looks more like what Frank wore near the end of Punisher Season 1 but the heads and the guns look more like what he had in Daredevil Season 2. I really wish they would've included the M249 SAW but he probably couldn't hold it properly if they had.


Overall: I was losing interest in this figure but I'm pretty happy now that I have him. My only real complaints are that the accessories and the elbow articulation could be better.

Since we're coming up on NYCC, I'm wondering what we'll get from Mezco. Part of me wonders if we'd seen Frank in his Season 2 street fight look since they'd only need to give him blue jeans.
