A Paid Advertisement.  The action figure experts at Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles (DST) and Toy Biz are back with their second collaborative project based on the House of Ideas' most popular tenants: the Marvel Select: Punisher Action Figure, now available from Diamond Comic Distributors!

Talented sculptor Steve Kiwus faithfully captures Marvel's gun-toting vigilante, as inspired by the historic The Punisher run by writer Garth Ennis, artist Steve Dillon, and cover artist Tim Bradstreet!  Based on Bradstreet's stunning take on the character, this 7'-scale, articulated figure comes complete with a highly detailed base and accessories -- including a replica Spider-Man pinball machine, a bar wall, and a tortured informant -- making it next-to-impossible for fans to resist joining this one-man war on crime!

Since making his first appearance in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man more than a quarter-century ago, the Punisher has developed into one of comicdom's best-loved characters, and is hotter than ever thanks to Ennis, Dillon, and Bradstreet's relaunch of his eponymous title in early 2000.  DST's past Marvel-based products have garnered high praise from consumers and retailers alike, and the second addition to the white-hot Marvel Select line is expected to be in equally high demand.
