SDCC 2015: Sideshow Collectibles Previews the Punisher 1/6 Scale Figure

Sideshow Collectibles has revealed the next character to join a line I’m really looking forward to – their 1/6 scale comics-based Marvel line. The Punisher is the third character revealed. We saw Deadpool and Wolverine at SDCC last year, and the Punisher will join them at the show this year.

It’s been a slow burn while the line ramps up. You can pre-order the Marvel Deadpool Sixth Scale Figure now, but Wolverine is still in preview mode. I’m hoping there’s even more in store in San Diego.

The Punisher Sixth Scale Figure

After his family was killed by the mob, Frank Castle became known as The Punisher! As a vigilante, he takes justice into his own by any violent means necessary. Sideshow’s The Punisher Figure is part of the brand new Marvel Sixth Scale Figure line and is coming soon for fans of this unconventional Marvel hero! Be sure to sign up above for updates on this figure, hose attending Comic-Con in San Diego July 8 – 12, 2015 can see this figure in person!

Soapbox Sunday: Marvel and Fox Need to Reconcile… For the Sake of the Toys

Imagine this – it’s the Avengers versus the X-Men and Fantastic Four. At first, Spider-Man is with Wolverine and Reed Richards, but at a pivotal moment, he switches sides and joins Captain America and Iron Man. Is this the plot for next big comic book crossover event? No, it’s another case of life imitating art – it’s what’s really happening today with the movie licensing business at Marvel.

Marvel has been trying to regain control of the characters it licensed out years ago to other movie studios, before they had their own movie business. Earlier this year, Marvel Studios and Sony penned a peace treaty that gives Marvel some say over what Sony will do with Spider-Man. But with Fox, who continues to own the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four, the not-too-subtle war has no end in sight. And we’re suffering for it.

First-Timer Shares His Experience Customizing a Marvel Universe Wolverine

Long-time reader Matt Cauthen has shared his experience with us as a first-time customizer, and we were really impressed with the results!

Reminder: the entry deadline for CustomCon 38 is coming up on December 5.

I’ve been a fan of ActionFigurePics.com for a few years. I’ve mostly kept up with news and pics of Marvel Universe 3.75 figures as they were issued. What inspired me to do my own custom was a post on editing the Magneto figure that came in a 2 pack. I have that figure as well and plan on making my version soon. As you already know, too many of the Marvel Universe figs have first issues that have stunted or deformed bodies. Wolverine was my choice for my first custom because I still believe they have yet to make a completely satisfying figure of him. They are either too small or hunch-backed with a stunted torso.
