Real-Life American Sniper Chris Kyle to Get a Military Action Figure Covered in Punisher Logos
 |
This might just be the most controversial 12-inch military figure since George W. Bush in the flight suit, so please be respectful of differing opinions in discussion.
I suspect, however, that many collectors might buy one just so they can deck out a Frank Castle figure in desert combat gear – something Punisher fan Kyle would no doubt have enjoyed. Regardless of politics or what you think about Kyle, I think it’s positive for nerddom that a guy known for decorated combat service was so unabashedly a fan of comics – my military father-in-law liked the Fantastic Four, but there was no way in hell that in Vietnam he’d have had the “4” logo anywhere near his battle fatigues.
