@basil-elks  The Login button below the actual forums has never worked for me (doesn't let me choose a number for the math problem) but the one on the right side underneath the big pile of Tags always does.

I wonder how long we'll need to wait for a white glove/boot release using that new Punisher War Zone body... or if they'd use the new SHIELD legs for that...

Have to figure it will come later this year after Punisher gets a bump from the Daredevil show. And since that comes out in 2 weeks - I wonder when those figures will come out.

Yeah, I'd be shocked if it didn't come during the 2nd half of this year. Marvel vs Capcom, maybe? I believe that I remember Dave from Displaying Model Behavior having a rumor that classic Punisher would be part of an Iron Man retro card wave with USAgent and others. I kind of thought that maybe being part of a Spider-Man retro wave made more sense, but that has already come and gone. I'm personally fine with the WarZone Frank that I have in the black, though.

A classic Punisher is a likely candidate for the Maximum treatment. Swappable trenchcoat arms (or, even better, a wired goods coat), a couple of heads, a bunch of hands and loads and loads of weapons. I've got so many third party weapons that I'm not sure they could top so I don't necessarily love the idea, but he seems like an obvious choice.

I think they will reuse this Punisher body mold for a new US Agent. It's already has a peg for the belt. Previous US Agent was on the Punisher body too (the Grim Reaper one) Black Panther would be cool too. It's one of their best bodies now. 

Put this Punisher on the Spider-Man retro card in the Animated Series colours or whatever. He doesn't need a Maximum treatment. We now how bad and gummy Hasbro weapons are.

A classic Punisher with swappable trenchcoat arms similar to the retro carded Mister Fantastic, I'd say make it so.

I saw the rumor about Punisher in an Iron Man wave. I’d be disappointed if it’s not a redo of Punisher as War Machine. That was such a cool looking armor and an amusing story. But the previous figure reused an MCU figure and had such limited range of motion.

Yeah, I’m hoping the rumors pan out and we get a new [better] War Machine Punisher in the Iron Man wave, and then a more classic Frank in the rumored two-pack with Nick Fury (probably based on the arcade game, but that’s just my guess).

I'm not sure which War Machine armor would be accurate for Punisher War Machine, but I think the original design would look the best.  If only since his weapons seem more Punisher-y.   He'd have to skip the unibeam chest armor, so the skull isn't broken up.  I don't think the original had the unibeam anyway.  They could reuse the existing classic War Machine figure but just with a new chest overlay.

It would also be amazing to see the Iron Man/Punisher armor from the classic What If? issue “What If? Captain America Founded the Avengers?”

Frank’s “just” Iron Man in that issue, but he wears the classic “horned face plate” armor in black and white with the skull emblem. And he kills some dudes, to the team’s horror, to which he replies. “They committed . . . crimes. I *punished* them.”

Awesome, and yikes. Easy repaint, great figure.

Kinda like the ML Silver Centurion boy with horned head and WM forearms.  Would be a cool kitbash.  I know the line is full of reuse, but have we seen kitbashing like that for an official figure?

Oh wow yeah! I’d forgotten it had some Silver Centurion features. I actually love that armor a lot. Quite striking.
