How is that ironic?

We've had this conversation before. Iron Man has always been a Marvel heavyweight indeed. That doesn't always equate with popularity outside of comic geekdom, though.

Granted, the writing on his solo books wasn't exactly stellar, but he already had good writers by the late 70's and 80's, such as David Michelinie or Dennis O'Neil. Granted, those runs are no Frank Miller or Alan Moore level, but are well respected among fans. Busiek's run in the late 90's was good enough, too.

Just pretend 'The Crossing' never happened.

I meant that he's from where I am. Maybe another term would have been better. Yes, among Iron Man fans, the comics are fine. I just meant that it was always Spiderman or Fantastic Four or X-Men or Hulk, etc. Iron Man appealed to a smaller group of fans. I had large runs in the 80's while my friends had all the other Marvel characters.

That was a horrible PF IMO!

Completely disagree. Bucky is def one of the nicer PFs out there. He is super unpopular though hence my

Have to agree Bucky pf is an awesome statue and its loved even more with having read the run in the comics

Has there been any indication when we should actually expect a DD PF? I know it's been said "soon", but has soon been defined yet?

Other than soon no..... But what more can you ask for? We know he's coming and that's a good thing!

Sideshow has been saying soon for years

No swap out battle damage head? Passing on this, F-them for showing us even a teaser. Glad I have the comiquette still.

 

[Frostlord]

No switch out head?! I wonder why they didnt include it, that was the best thing about the new punisher

 

[Hemooo]

Pretty much disappointed about the lack of the additional head!! What a lame EX

Punisher was a big part of early Spidey. So there's your reason

Indeed he was, which was part of my reason for wanting him. Guaranteed the only issues of ASM I havent read are some of the later 80s and early 90s stuff. Everything before and after I've read so I'm well aware that Punisher's first several appearances were in Spidey comics. His origin was established there. But he's so far removed from being a Spidey character now, he's more of his own franchise. When you think of Spidey characters most people dont usually include Punisher. Maybe back in the 70s.

So why did Sideshow show us the beat up Punisher head in those recent behind the scenes vids if they had no intention of using it ?

They did the same thing with the Jack the Ripper PF, show everyone an extra switch out head then scrap it.

 

[sarakawa]

oh man, this has become an easy easy pass...weak EX and above $350(even if it is just $10). again, EASY PASS....

 

[ActionJackson83]

I feel cheated after Punishment1218 hyped up this piece so much... I'm sorry if your informant at SS misled you too but this is unacceptable with a price increase and no inclusion of a sneaked battle damaged head. They could release a crappy EX like Vision's but they couldn't approve this one!? F-that. This shouldn't be worth more than $299.99 with the simple decal base, pose, and 1 gun. I'd pay $359.99 if they had the switch out head, a bazooka and another hand holding his handgun.

The damaged head we saw was an 'in-development' pic. Maybe Marvel just vetoed it.

 

[Frostlord]

The Ex knife is lame, I was hoping we were going to get a while bunch of switch out weapons with this one. Sideshow could have done so much better
Easy Pass

 

[Hemooo]

Then why show something & get people excited then scrap it! A tiny knife for ex! With price increase! Really Sideshow!!

Maybe that was before they pitched it to Marvel? Anyway, I just don't know.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Marvel probably said no to the other head

 

[Dr Sanchez]

I dont see why Marvel would veeto the beat up head, after all this guy isnt one of their goody two shoes heroes, hes a ultra violent vigilante.

Its times like this when i wish Sideshow would be more open and talk more with their costomers on the forums like how Randy Bowen does, a little clarification from SS about the absence of the ex head would be greatly appreciated.
