Art-Figures: AF-003 "Saves" (Punisher)

[DanceGavinDance]

Knuckle, the stuff probably could stay on, but I glued mine down after I had him all suited up because everything felt kinda loose

Does anybody know where I can find this sculpt?? evidently it came from somebody on here but I missed out way back when. I would absolutely love to have this guy next to my Punisher! Any info would be greatly appreciated!

That was a fun sculpt to paint. I actually forgot about that one.

Mine arrived today, but I think I'll wait until my birthday to open as a present to myself

Scalpers are selling for ~$150 already...you may find one at regular price if you look hard, but the window is closing fast.

Yeah I started looking around but everything around MSRP is sold out. eBay is at least $140 after shipping, so if I missed out on this it would suck, but that's my fault.

I'll keep looking for now.

Awesome figure. In fact it is as good as anything Hot Toys is currently doing and that includes paint apps and sculpting. It's pretty much flawless ... Apart from the very faded skull on his chest...

I got mine in the mail today and I was really impressed by it. The photo pics I've seen does not do the figure justice once you see it in hand. The sculpt was much better than I thought. I did notice the crappy bendy hands and the faded skull but those can be remedied rather easy I think. Overall, awesome figure.

I swap the body for HT TTA, and the holster with the gun rigth leg and upgrade the vest put the holsters in the front and in the back have the belts holds the guns from the begening of the movie, change the knife for one someone made for me the same for the Monster Magnun, and I have one Magnun from one figure made by Hot Toys plus I repaint the skull put HT new boots and HT hand gloves.
NOTE: remember Punisher is tall and I use diferents peg for the boots too!!

Well since my figure came with one boot, I ordered a couple different boots that I would like some opinions on.

The right one is a hard boot from the HT Royce figure which should pop right on to the TT that I had to transplant everything over to since the shoulder broke on my figure.

The middle one is a shorter soft boot which is rather plain looking.

The left one is a taller soft boot which has a little more detailed look. I have a pair on my Snake Eyes and like them on him but don't think they work as well for the Punisher.

None are "film accurate" so it comes down to taste. I like the look of the Royce boots but prefer the extra ankle movement with the soft boot which I am leaning towards the middle ones.

I got mine in today, and....

I LOVE LOVE this figure. Believe the hype, no Marvel or most importantly Punisher fan should be without it. Count me in with those who didn't care for the movie at all, but I never minded his gear and was always hoping HT would make a figure. When I look at this and the past Art-Figures releases, I can't believe they're from the same company.

Now if I had to give a negative, its for the body. I don't care for it at all, but for the $85 I paid, I just look at it as a great accessory kit. Stevenson looked really tall in the movie, so I put him on the Wesker body I had. Just perfect.

Post some pictures close to the other HT figure, PLEASE!!

Mine came in today and it's probably the best $100 bucks I've spent on a figure. The price is below Sideshow's Joe line but the figure is as good as HT IMHO. I was actually excited in setting him up compared to the Berserker I received just the day before. If you can find it and you're somewhat interested in the Marvel universe buy it without any hesitation. Great freaking figure!

so does the body this guy comes on suck? and to those who have switched it over to truetypes, is the headsculpt easy to adapt to the tt or do you have to mod it?

 

[Animal Mother.]

lobox,
Will do. Just got to finish transferring his gloves to the TT hands.

The body felt really cheap to me, and already sounded like it was cracking when I was moving him slightly. I heated up the head with the intention of putting it on the appropriate TT neck joint, but when the Head came off with the Art Saves Neck Joint first, I tried it on the TT body, and the AS neck fit perfectly. So I just left it as is.

 

[DanceGavinDance]

totally agree with everyone on here, it really is an awesome figure and probably one of my favorite 1/6 figures I own. Honestly, the sculpt is incredible and I would also agree that he is on HT level. Oddly enough, I really like the bendy hands. I wasnt expecting to, but I think they look really natural when holding the guns and its nice not having to swap out hands for certain poses. I liked this figure so much that I bought one of the Jigsaw headsculpts that Z had made because this figure is too cool to not have his nemesis on my detolf! Get em while you can guys, I think this dude will be impossible to find after a while

good to know, thanks Animal Mother!!!!

Yep, the body seems to be very cheap brittle plastic. The shoulder peg broke with no stress on it and when I took the body apart the inner chest had a crack in the screw area that holds the body together.
