MArvel Icon Series - The Punisher

Hello!

Before the movies I really did not have much of an idea of what The Punisher as all about! I really enjoyed both films, the first due to the story, and the second film because of Ray Stevenson (from ROME, and who rocks tasty abs!).

Anyway I really thought the design of this guy was rather nice and clean, keeping the vibe within a small area. I just really love the slicked-back rendering of his hair, and his "Time to kick ass and take names" facial expression!.

Once again this guys is designed by Rudy Garcia and limited to 2,000 pieces. A fantastic addition even if you are not collecting the whole set.

Thanks!

Iron Man, Artfx Statue. by Kotobukiya

Hello!

This statue of Iron Man, was the first statue that I collected on my set up from cheaper plactic and none numbered collectiables. After seeing the first Iron Man film (And loving it), I really thought this Cold-Cast Porcelain statue would be great to have (This was also way before I had my glass disply cabnit, I invisioned having it on a shelf above the fire place! (What a mess that would have been)).

Iron Man stands around 25cm, and would roughly be 8.5 - 10cm wide and in deapth. He is a 5000 edition and has a metalic paint that matches the movie and looks rather realistic. He also have the ablity to glow from his chest, arms, and the eye holes, thought I have only used this ones (when first bought) as the idea of leaving batteries in the base does not sound like a good idea to me.... Just incase of a leak.

Whilst at the moment he stands in the back of my collection, behind Superman and Captain America, this statue still is very valuible to me as it was the beginning of a transition from lesser quality products, to starting to see the real value of higher end statues of today!

Thanks for reading, have fun!
