Just another or two other heads would turn this into a fenomenal piece to express the different comic arts of the charakter (Jim Lee, Marco Checchetto, ...) .

XM wont be doing a comicbook artist inspired head.

Well if any hero is gonna be on a motorcycle its gonna be ghost rider and punisher.. cant think of any other marvel characters that could really pull it off as well as these two.

I know XM has been burned from some overcooked pieces in the past trying to listen to fan comments but please hear these.

The guns need mounts (which would display them even better).

Please at least close the M60's bipod!! Or ditch the bipod all together! Looks ridiculous.

If XM is gonna go with a bike concept then fine, go with it. But there's no way in hell those weapons are gonna be secure if he's utilizing the bike. There needs to be mounts on the back fenders or frame of his bike for weapons, and not a damn saddle bag filled and overflowing with unsecured guns sticking out.

The same can be said about the M60. How the hell is he gonna utilize a motorcycle while trying to hold onto that thing? I understand Punsher is master of weaponry and XM wants to showcase him with a bunch of heavy weapons, but lets be realistic about it man. If you wanna use the M60, then fine, but if he's gonna be shown stopping and holding it in his hand, then his bike needs to support the idea with an empty mount on one side of his back fender or bike frame.

Me personally, I think XM should just get rid of the M60...it's way too much. It makes more sense to me for him to be carrying lighter weapons if he's gonna be on a bike. He can have an array of ---- on him. He can have an assault rifle or sub-machine gun in his right hand, the exact same way he's holding the M60. At the same time he can have a sniper rifle, combat shotgun, crossbow, or another assault rifle slung across his back. Or...he can have two sawn off shotguns holstered on his back instead.

If you're gonna give Punisher weapons, fine, but do it realistically, dude. XM's trying way too hard with giving him heavy weaponry while riding a motorcycle. And that's another thing...Punisher comes from a military background. He's tactical...not an unrealistic human tank. Get rid of the whole -----kickers and baggy pants honky-tonk look. Instead blouse his pants like military members do and give him some combat boots.

I would agree with removing the bipod...

Just curious, why is it the open bipod an issue? I know it's opened only when you plant down the gun to add stability, but what if, say, Punisher already opened it because he's planning to step off the bike, crouch near a wall and plant it down immediatly?
I like it as a touch tbh, don't know if it's too much hassle to engineer but it'd be great if they made it movable, so everyone can decide how to display it.

Everything has already been done, deal with it. Gentle Giant has been doing a whole line about superheroes on motorcycles for years, and nobody blinked. Throne pieces were happening years and years ago, before Magneto and before Doom. There are characters to lend themselves to certain poses/bases and there's nothing wrong with it until said pose/base stays close to the character's nature.

If that's the case then Cap and Wolverine are no-brainers.

Ghost Rider is a given and while I never questioned Punisher riding a motorcycle, it's not something he's known for or is depicted with often.

Characters depicted riding motorcycles more than Punisher: Captain America, Wolverine, Gambit and I'd even say Cyclops is depicted more on a motorcycle than Punisher, from the comics to the movies.

Why upset over that comment? I really don't think it was a complaint. I think it was just a harmless statement.

Wasn't upset, just pointing out a few things, probably should've used a smiley here and there

Wow! I had no idea. I have seen Punisher riding a bike numerous times in the comics and in the movies...never seen the others outside of Cap and Wolvie in the movies ride one.
