Last one for today. Fun stuff. This Punisher came out as part of a three figure wave. The others were a Wolverine and a Blade 2 figure. Look at his occupation. He's a "Vigilante" ( Do they get dental insurance as a job perk....) Notice the gorilla arms inherent for figures of that time frame. The giant pleather jackets. The paint jobs that made the figures look like cokeheads that either resembled Matt Damon or Ben Affleck. This was cutting edge in the old days. But even with all the flaws, still a lot to love here.

Looks like with Action Joe, they ventured closer into the Captain Action realm, with a couple of Pulp era Action Heroes.
These are fantastic, like Joe had a whole other secret life, Americans didn't know about.

Here's what I found:

Group Action Joe – often referred to as Action Joe is the French-licensed version of G.I. Joe (Hasbro – US) and Action Man (Palitoy – UK). Group Action Joe was distributed by the Ceji Arbois company in France and featured some exclusive characters such as French comic strip star Rahan, Albator, Captain Cosmos and the famous Zorro. Also featured were female characters Jane, Daina and Sandy.

Last one for today. Fun stuff. Someone needed a wagon and there just wasn't one commercially available and/or not one at a good price, so the guy just built one. Don't know the who or why here. Just cool stuff. When in doubt, just build it apparently. Which is OK, that's most of the fun in this hobby.
