    Classic style Punisher

    There have been many looks for Frank Castle over the years, but nothing beats the classic skull.

    Frank here is about a year's worth of research and the utilization of things I learned from right here at the MegoMuseum.

    head is Toybiz Famous covers Magneto
    upper torso is from MOTU figure modded as per instructed.
    upper arms from LJN Swat type 2 body.
    lower torso and legs from Mego.
    hands are CTVT type S white grapple hands.
    belt is CTVT modded to fit a smaller torso, bullets added.

    The majority of his costume is from CTVT with the Skull printed on a shirt with a velcro back closure that I clipped over his torso.

          Wow!! Nice work. It's amazing how well the Famous Covers neck blends with the MOTU upper torso. Looks like a natural fit.

            I was surprised too. I know a lot of others have used this same head but it's just perfect.

            The torso is from Stinkor so the black blends in with the outfit too.

              That is an awesome recipe. He has the right beefiness for a classic Punisher figure.

                  Very cool. I have always wondered if that Magneto head was intended for Frank. He was mentioned a few times to be in the FC line. Love the Brock Samson too.

                    They could probably have repainted the head for Frank officially. Toybiz was known for re purposing heads.

                        Very nice, that head works great and the body mod looks spot on.

                          I couldn't have done it without everyone who's contributed to the Mego Museum forum...

                          Actually, I started out modding existing Mego/similar figures. Just don't know where to post them.

                            Incredibly awesome.
                            Did you use the CTVT Custom T-shirt Option or did you screen print the Skull yourself?
