I'd buy both, but neither is a priority for me.

So, yeah, don't care about Delilah at all,  but I have to know - what is the deal with the weird font she got in her dialogue for certain words.    Like, just a weird way to emphasize and they put one in almost every dialogue balloon.    We're used to seeing that sporadically to truly emphasize something a character is saying, but nothing this repetitive and character specific.   Just odd.   But the character design leaves me flat, so no need for her to get plastic representation.

 

And Barricuda -  I'm just really not a Punisher rogues gallery guy.   They all tend to just be muscleheads with guns.   This guy is just thicc Luke Cage with a bandolier, machete and an AK-47    If I'm jonesing for that look in a display I'll pop an extra Classified Roadblock or maybe the upcoming Heavy Duty over there.    I'd much rather the line devote it's resources to the conspicuously costumed folks.

Not familiar with Delilah so easy pass.

Barracuda would be a big ol' pile of HELL YEAH.    His appearances in the Punisher Max series were a great combination of don't give a shit and psycho all rolled into one.   He was one of those characters that just couldn't be put down by Frank and kept coming back.   Until of course he was finally killed for good.

Anyway because of the character, and not so much the look, I would be in for a figure of him.   However they would have to make him big, at least Roadblock size.

I loved Punisher MAX (the Ennis run, anyway) but I'm not sure I really need figures from it, you know? Kinda stands on its own. Feels weird to take a book that consistently dark and have a fun superhero battle with the characters.

"In the end, the war in Vietnam was much like any other. There are those who profited. Those it devoured. And then there were those for whom there are no words." Can't wait to have Barracuda fight Ant-Man! Oh no, MODOK's joined the fray! Will Punisher arrive in time in his battle van?

 

What's Delilah's deal? I love the weird thing they do with her lettering, is that power-related or is she just so haughty and extra she changes the laws of the book around her?

Double pass for me today.

Likewise. I have no idea who either of those characters are.

 

Same here!

"and if the real thing don't do the trick

you better make up something quick,

you gonna burn, burn, burn burn, burn to the wick

oooooh,  Barracuda!"

I gotta re-read MAX. I read it as a teen and loved it. The older I get, the less I can stomach Ennis' work, but I'm curious to know if it holds up.

Day #1059 - Saturday Spotlight on Betsy Braddock (Archive Day #342)!

Please add your favorite costume if I left it off.

Some of these pictures might actually be Revanche.

Today's entry is a bit early since I'll be traveling in the morning.

I would be down for an armoured Captain Britain version of Betsy.   Lots of other choices that would be a probable yes to maybe and a few that would be a no.

The armored costume is one of my top three wants. I'm sure it's coming.

I'd also like to see the Disassembled costume made.

Yes to comic Flagsmasher. I’d get his soldiers, too. 

Yes to a super articulated pinless updated version of ninja swimsuit Psylocke.
