  • Review: Marvel Legends Punisher from Daredevil: Born Again

    "I'll tell you what I think, Red." The original Punisher figure from the original Daredevil series on Netflix was a 2017 release and part of the Marvel Knights wave that combined figures from the Netflix shows and comic book figures, as well as a Man-Thing Build-a-Figure. Despite two standalone Punisher series, there were no other releases of John Bernthal’s Frank Castle and the 2017 release, like most of the Netflix figures, saw its price shoot upward on the after-market, where it now appears so very infrequently.  After an 8-year wait, we can now finally add a new Punisher to our Marvel live-action display thanks to Castle’s appearance in the 2025 return of Daredevil in the Disney+ Daredevil: Born Again series. The new Punisher figure is part of a two-figure release for Born Again that also includes Daredevil himself. These are general releases, arriving in the UK in late October 2025. The packaging for the wave follows the set dimensions and the squared-off box of all the Hasbro Collector lines. While this appears plain black initially, the base design is embedded with images of New York and Hell’s Kitchen and is very much in keeping with the show's dark and gritty visuals. The Daredevil: Born Again logo is front and centre on the bottom rail under the window, and this will be the first release to be badged under the Marvel Television banner.  The side panels both carry an impactful black and white illustration of Frank in his Punisher vest. This covers the right-hand side almost entirely apart from a small header and the Marvel Legends logo. It is reduced on the left to sit under the wrap-around of the figure window, and the Marvel Legends logo moves to the top. The back of the box repeats the image for a third time alongside the single paragraph background text that simply positions the origin of the Marvel Television Frank Castle and his transition to the Punisher. It makes no direct reference to any plot points or key scenes in Born Again. The figure is set against a cardback that is also coloured in a way that contrasts with the figure, while Daredevil’s backing card is a grey colour, Frank’s is red to contrast with his predominantly black suit. Like the box, this cardback includes embedded imagery of a Hell’s Kitchen Tenement building.  Frank is designed around the Daredevil: Born Again finale, when he dons his Punisher gear to team up with Daredevil. This is a black combat suit, so nearly all the parts are cast in base black with the details then applied over the top. The paintwork, of course, includes the faded Punisher skull on the vest, which looks brilliant. There are also some small paint apps around a combat belt, which houses a couple of holsters and spare ammo clips and some of these are picked out in grey. Despite sculpted detail around the clasps and buckles of the vest and the belt, these are left unpainted. The final detail on the suit is the patch on the right shoulder with a decal skull design.  The headsculpt is excellent, capturing Bernthal’s solemn look as Punisher, including the furrowed brow. Face printing brings out the facial details, including around the sides and back of the hair, where there is a gradient shaved style before the longer hair on top. Despite the mess Frank gets into on screen, the decision has been taken to keep this figure clean, and there is no battle damage brusing or cuts included.  Looking at the 2017 release alongside the new version, you can see the progression of the Legends line over the years, with the 2025 version having much more accurate proportions, a more natural stance through the enhanced articulation, and a definitely better head sculpt and overall facial likenesses.  vs 2017 Marvel Knights Wave Release (right) Articulation on The Punisher is all pinless, and we have a total count of 22 to work with. The head uses two joints at the base and top of the neck, making the head very expressive in its movement allowing Frank to look up, down, to the sides, or with his head cocked. The legs are double-jointed at the knee, allowing the figure to kneel and sit, while a robust set of ankle rockers keep him stable once posed in either neutral or more action-oriented poses with or without the included weaponry. Those weapons start with a combat knife that can be stored in a holster around the rear of the figure. The knife itself is cast in matt black with a grey handle that includes ridged grip detail. Two gripping hands are included with Punisher, so there are both right and left options for holding the knife and the other two weapons.  The second of which is a handgun with an extended magazine. Like the knife, this is cast in black with the mag section painted grey. Again, there is a holstering option on Punisher’s belt, and again this can be held in either right or left gripping hands with both hands inclusive of a flexible trigger finger.  The third weapon is the axe wielded by Frank. This is the largest of the weapons and is also black plastic with a sculpt that includes a wrapped handle that is then painted in grey. This one has no storage option, but also fits into either of the two gripping hands for wielding against the Punisher’s enemies.  The upper torso articulation is perfectly suited to any of the three weapons with double-jointed elbows that can fold the lower arm almost back onto the upper arm, butterfly shoulder joints and a second standard shoulder joint to extend the arm outward and upward. I did find this final shoulder joint is a bit harder to manouver from inside the butterfly connection, and once raised, it is equally as difficult to lower back down again. While there is a basic waist swivel, movement on this is limited, so most of the upper body movement is delivered by the torso ball joint in the central connection just under the ribs. This allows quite an extensive lean backwards, but less forward movement than might be expected when Frank is fighting and gets into those hand-to-hand combat poses. Fist fighting as an option for display is available thanks to an included right hand in a closed clenched fist, but there is no left hand companion. Instead, the final hand option is an open grip left hand that is shaped to either hold an opponent by the neck or to cup a larger weapon like a shotgun or a rifle.  Assault Rifle not included. Posed using the accessory from the 2017 release If this left hand was originally for a larger firearm, then you can see how well it would work when you borrow the 2017 Punisher assault rifle and use it on this figure. The articulation then supports multiple positions, including being able to have the weapon raised and with Frank looking down the sights, ready to fire.  In summary, the new 2025 Punisher, while a long-time coming, is a triumph of a release. It looks the part, reflective of those final scenes in Daredevil: Born Again, where Punisher teams up with ‘Red’ to battle the AVTF. While there are some very minor details left unpainted on the costume, the key elements are done beautifully, with the chest emblem mirroring the onscreen look, including the hand-painted design and fading over the numerous battles. The headsculpt is on par with recent MCU releases like the Fantastic Four and captures Bernthal’s likeness really well. The accessories all work and play their part, as do the supporting additional hands, although he is perhaps a shotgun or a rifle short of being absolutely standout. Well done Hasbro! While we had to wait for the release, the wait was worth it and he and Daredevil look fantastic together and are in perfect keeping with the other MCU releases, particularly the most recent figures from Deadpool & Wolverine, Captain America, Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four.  Here’s to more to come… particularly a Muse and a new Kingpin, please.

  • Custom Cape: Doctor Who Vortex Edition Master

    "I know you will find this difficult to believe, but this time I mean you no harm." As soon as I received the Character Toys Doctor Who Vortex Edition release of Anthony Ainley's Master, I knew I wanted to explore how to display The Master as we saw him in the Death Zone during the events of The Five Doctors. Apart from Omega, the Character line has not used soft goods in their releases, but a fabric cape seemed to be the most obvious solution for a Five Doctor's Master. After searching the usual suspects, I found this 'Vampire Cape' on Etsy by seller TheDollhouseTailor . The cape is 1/12 scale and features a large raised collar. While shown here with a red lining, there is a full black option by selecting black for both collar and lining size when ordering. It is also very competitively priced at £7.80 delivered in the UK. The cape came really quickly and once in hand, you can set about dressing The Master. The cape features two slim ties around the colla,r and I found the best way to get the fit was to lay the Master on the cape and to tie the cape around the neck. You can then pull these back over the shoulders and tie a final knot around the back. The larger collar then folds down, covering the ties and also leaving a very small collar in place, almost replicating the Five Doctor cape exactly. Being soft goods, the figure is not damaged or changed in any way. For me, I am really happy with the look, and he looks great alongside my Five Doctors figures and the Cybermen from the Death Zone.

  • McFarlane Fallout 6-inch Posed Figures, including Vault Boy, Deathclaw, Securitron, Maximus, Lucy, and Hank Maclean

    As well as the 7-inch articulated action figures from Fallout revealed recently, McFarlane are also continuining their 6-inch posed figure line from the Fallout franchise with a raft of new releases incoming. Despite being from a streaming TV series, these are released under the Movie Maniacs badge. Each posed figure sits on an environmental base and comes with a cardboard backdrop. You will also get a mini-poster and a secret bonus item. The figures include three versions of Vault Boy.

    As first previewed at the McFarlane NYCC 2025 panel, we now have the details for the new 7-inch scale Fallout figures based on the hit Amazon Prime TV series. While McFarlane have released Fallout product before in their 6-inch static posed Movie Maniacs line, these are fully articulated figures which should scale with the two Elite Edition Fallout figures released in that collection. They include figures of Maximus in Power Armor, The Ghoul, Steph Harper, Hank Maclean in Power Armour, and Cooper Howard. Maximus includes an extra head, extra hands, and Super Sledge. The Ghoul will feature a removable hat, and a pair of handguns. Steph Harper will come with two interchangeable face plates, extra hands and two weapons. While Hank features extra hands, forearm jets and FX pieces. Each of these four are general releases at McFarlane stockists and they will all come with a display base and collector card. Cooper Howard is a Red Platinum release and a shared exclusive between Amazon and Gamestop in the US. He will include an alternative face plate, extra hands, and pipboy. He too will come with a display base and collector card. These figures are showing up now at some retailers in the US with all of them available by November 2025. We've added all of them to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database The Ghoul has survived the Wasteland longer than most, and has made his living as a ruthless bounty hunter. As pragmatic and deadly as he may be, there's more than meets the eye beneath his irradiated and violent exterior. When Maximus's family and community were taken from him in a traumatic incident as a child, he was raised by the Brotherhood of Steel. They became his family and community. His biggest fear is weakness and he seeks power as a means to shield himself from the violence and dangers of the Wasteland. A resident of Vault 33, Steph is Lucy's best friend. She and her husband, Bert, were married in 2294. They are currently expecting their first child, but that doesn't stop Steph from taking part in the Young Pipefitter's Association or any of her other Vault duties. A kind and loving father to Lucy and Norm and benevolent Overseer to Vault 33, Hank is the glue that binds their small underground community together. He has a knack for science and exceptional people skills. He believes it is the shared duty of every Vault dweller to keep the candle of civilization lit. The Ghoul, born Cooper Howard, has survived the Wasteland longer than most, and has made his living as a ruthless bounty hunter. As pragmatic and deadly as he may be, there’s more than meets the eye beneath his irradiated and violent exterior. To manage our storage costs, news article images are archived after 12-months.
