They posted their Monday update saying they have the complete figure in stock. Didn't think that was hard to understand.

Lol, no worries. I was wondering what the deal was.

I mainly posted that because I hadn't seen many people say they have received shipping notifications yet.

Got mine today. Normally I'm pretty forgiving but the head paint is BAD!

He looks like he sleeps in a tanning bed. Can't say I've ever gotten a Sideshow figure painted this bad before. A real shame because the rest of the figure is great.

Is the head a lot bigger than that Hawk head?

Spot on! Haha!

Another wasted opportunity

The only thing you really need to do is change or repaint the head and it'll be a great punisher. Thats what I'm doing. Just going to replace the head and BAM awesome punisher.

With a repaint and a trench coat this would be a fantastic Punisher. The sculpt itself is awesome, paint just looks sloppy.

I too love spending hundreds of dollars simply to have to spend some more to make it a satisfactory product ...

you people are Sideshows target victims

I agree. If I spent that kind of money, I expect it to be 100℅ complete. That head sculpt paint is horrendous...unless of course they were going for a tanned look.

With the issues, it's definitely not worth the price they're asking. Apart from the paint, the weapons look cartoony and I'd probably switch to black combat boots.

It has the potential to be a great Punisher. I'd probably get one if it was $180 shipped.

Not going to argue with you on that since it's true. Just saying that lots of people will customize their figure however they want just to make it "just" right for them. If it costs a little more just to modify something and make me satisfied with it then I don't mind. At a reduced price of course on the base.

No, its just the angle. Hawk's head is actually a bit bigger.

The part that mainly bugs me is around the mouth...If they could have improved that, I'd consider it...I really do kinda want the rest of the figure....Im kinda getting a Robert Z'Dar vibe from that headsculpt, from the angle anyway...He's the actor with the jaw/bone disorder that played in Maniac Cop

The sculpt itself is fantastic, it was just given one of the worst spray tans possible. My sister-in-law saw him from a few feet away and asked if he was supposed to be black. I'm real torn on whether to send him back as the rest of the figure is very nice, but man that head is a real bummer. Had he been all beat up, bruised, and bleeding they might have been able to pull off this skin tone. But with him all healed up and ready to go into battle, it just looks like he's the George Hamilton Punisher.



Sideshow is completely capable of good headsculpt paint. Hawk from a few years ago in my pic shows that. Even the DC figures turned out decent. I just don't understand this huge leap backward when they're charging $250+ shipped for this. That's nearly as high as HT's recent figures with vastly superior paint jobs. They can't be charging HT pricing and offering a nearly Hasbro level paint job.
