Zimm's Two Cents
When I first saw the picture of this statue, I was turned off, and was not in the mood to write another "pass" review. But, do you know what? This IS the Punisher! This statue rocks. It not only represents who the Punisher is but where he is from. They shows background, character, and attitude.

Points in Favor
  • Detail, detail, detail...and then even more detail. From the wrinkled shirt, to the knife on his back (click here to see a pic). From the bust to the tip of the gun. This statue has some incredible detail. I could spend an entire afternoon looking at all of the little pieces.....oh, I did.
  • The paint and colors. They did a great job here. Every little corner is covered. Check out his boots and you will understand what I mean.
  • Personality oozes from this piece.
  • Limited Run. Sideshow tends to be a little better about limiting their production sizes.
Points Against
  • I can't think of any.
Recommendation: Hot Buy. I've heard some good things about Sideshow Collectible pieces, and if you haven't gotten one yet, this would be a great place to start. If you have, then this one will make an incredible addition.
