Ahh...The Punisher. This time round by VTS/Damtoys, known as "The Revenger". Based on the 2008 Punisher: War Zone movie version, the first was released by Art Figure under the name "Saves". The details on the clothing and weapons are more accurately captured compared to the Art Figure verison but, the figure stands shorter, skinnier and less "solid". As usual, I had a hard time putting the numerous "gears" together. To make matter worse, one of the straps is missing from the box, and forced to get it from eBay to replace it. The head sculpt reminds me of a mix between Ray Stevenson, the actor portrayed the Marvel's iconic vigilante with curiously, a young Steven Seagal. It is improved from the Art Figure version. Another problem I had with this figure is the darn neck peg just couldn't hold the head sculpt tight. Personally, I still prefer overall the Art Figure version because, now how do I put it, has a better pose and silhouette even thought the head sculpt looks dated and like he hasn't gone out of his home for decades. Down the road, I might make a little swap between these two figures, or maybe a separate body for it.
