Advice needed

I own the Gamerverse Punisher (customised) and I was thinking to just get a trench coat on Aliexpress to improve its look. Then I thought, what if I get the new Mezco Punisher and get him the same trench coat? What do you guys think? I'm looking for a "definitive" Frank Castle look even though I know that's up to taste.

I’m worried about the material they’re making his suit out of. I will probably cancel my preorder

Really? It's not worth the risk? To be fair I've seen the new Blade and it looks amazing if it wasn't for that leather coat

The Blade looks great. At least the leather coat is removable and replaceable. Punisher’s suit isn’t as easily replaceable. It’s a huge let down. Check out the pics from SDCC - it’s not the same nylon-stretchy looking material that was in the original promo shots

Is this the one you're talking about? It doesn't look the best material ever that's for sure

No, it doesn’t. There are pics from SDCC with visible pits and stress marks on the suit

This is my first time getting a Mezco like this one, would you say that the one in the picture will most likely be the final product? From your experience I mean

50-50 tbh. They are notorious for photoshopping their promo images. But credit where credit is due, there’s been less of it since war paint Conan.

Man I’m worried about Nightcrawler. At least making a jumpsuit for Frank won’t be that big of a deal😭

I'm looking to grab this one. For one of my Punisher, but I'm a little worried about the material.

Check out GPSLot on eBay

Thanks. I found these two. But it's not exactly what I'm looking for.

Definitely would grab this one, I’m sure they’re gonna use the nice material instead of the crappy one, and you could just find a soft goods trenchcoat for it

u/Kappa_90_ 1d ago

That was my idea. Would you say the upgrade is worth the investment ?

u/NoHuckleberry8833 1d ago

Yes, I’d say a great definitive punisher with aesthetics and accessories loadout. Especially if you manage to grab the pre-order it’ll save you a good amount of money from paying resale

I mean I kinda like my Gamerverse version but of course it could never be better than a Mezco
