    Punisher...Gift Set

    Is this the next Gift Set...

    Is the Marvel Retro line ready for… The Punisher?! Never released in the classic Mego toy line of yester-year, violent vigilante The Punisher is the latest Marvel character to get the 8-inch Retro action figure treatment from DST! This gift set features one classically-styled white-gloved Punisher figure in a vintage-style box, plus two additional heads and outfits: a bandaged head with a trenchcoat and bullet-proof vest and the civilian streetwear of veteran Frank Castle! With interchangeable heads, hands, costumes and accessories, you can display your Punisher however you want! Packaged in a full-color gift tray!

    Cool!

    The plain clothes version would make a nice custom Travis Bickle outfit. Just get a young De Niro head.

      This is awesome! I don't really care about the modern versions (they do look nice, though) but that classic version is exactly what I'd hoped for!

        Once again, there's one of the three I'd love to get my hands on.
        They all look great!

          I hoped Punisher would be next set! All 3 figures are great! Classic, Modern and Civilian! Wish we didn't have to wait until Spring/Summer 2017 for him. DST should know if right characters are made the sets will sell and can be released more frequently.

                            The right characters, exactly! Punisher is a good choice, in my opinion. Aren't these sets limited to 3000 each? I can't imagine how they'd sell 3000 of Spiderman 2099 at $20 each, much less $80. Why aren't they focusing on characters like Spider Woman, Hawkeye, or the Vision? And where the #!!@#! are the villains? I know Dr Mego is doing his best- I just don't want Diamond to mess this up with idiotic character choices, and then cancel the line due to low sales

                              I really like the look of the classic Punisher. The modern Punisher looks great... but the fabric layers and larger head make the proportions look a bit off.
