>>6243505>huehuehue if it doesn't have the same expression then it's not based on the cover artist's artGuess you can't detect sarcasm, huh? Read it again dumbass.
>now you guys are claiming it doesn't look like the covers?Good job shifting the entire argument. I didn't even say it's not based on those covers.
Also instead of pulling crap out of your ass:
>there's no real limit in how much they can add to it as long as it fits the general criteria of "does it look Frank Castle-ish?".>no real limit how much they can add to itIt still fits the aforementioned criteria since they just need him to look like any version of Frank as long as it's recognizable. The original point of contention was that Mezco wasn't ever bound by just one source material and how they have free reign to choose anything to base their sculpts on (thus having the advantage of choosing sources that could allow for more detailed sculpts) while still having leeway to give it their own spin.
Mezco doesn't have a mission statement saying they should stay true to ONE look (e.g. Punisher MAX covers). If they did, they would have gone all out in actually giving us a Punisher MAX figure, complete with the simplified thinner skull emblem on a simple T-shirt, and MAYBE less cartoonish eyebrows even from just one (one!) head sculpt. For reference, see pic-related for a sculpture actually nailing that likeness without any facial exaggerations while still looking like a stern badass. As it is, nothing contradicts the notion that the figure is an interpretation inspired from a certain art style. You know, an "artistic interpretation"?
