It’s amazing how artist Skottie Young can transform even the grittiest hero into a delightful one that just begs to be hugged. Out of all the ones he’s created, however, Frank Castle is probably the one who’s closest to the source material, and Gentle Giant’s latest statue captures that gritty and slightly annoyed essence perfectly.

The Punisher is the latest statue in their animated line, each one based off of Young’s popular Marvel variant covers (via Toyark). Their previous statues have all been adorable, but even with the humorous stylings of Young, The Punisher still looks about as unapproachable as one can be. It doesn’t help that he’s sporting two rather sizable revolvers, and his expression gives off the impression that someone just peed on his boots.
The statue stands at around 4.5 inches tall and will cost you around $64.99. You can pre-order the figure on Gentle Giant’s official site, and make sure to check out more images of the statue in the gallery.
Frank Castle is easily one of the most hard core, violent, dangerous vigilante characters of the Marvel Universe. But, THIS version of Frank is easily the cutest! The Punisher stands, pistols drawn and (somewhat) at the ready, determined to bring swift justice to any evil that would cross his path. The Animated Punisher Statue was digitally sculpted, and then 3D printed on state of the art 3D Systems printers. The high-resolution prints were then used in the creation of prototypes needed to produce this animated collectible. Each animated statue is hand-cast, hand-painted, and hand-numbered with a limited edition certificate of authenticity. Make Mine Marvel!
