Review 1: VTS Toys 1/6 scale The Revenger 12" figure aka Ray Stevenson Punisher War Zone

This is the recently released VTS Toys VM-009 1/6 scale The Revenger 12-inch figure (last mentioned in my toy blog post "First Haul of 2014" HERE). VTS (Virtual ToyS) is actually the non-military arm of DAM Toys (one and the same company). VTS became DAM Toys halfway through releasing the Black Hawk Down 12-inch figures and have never looked back since. So quality is something you can be assured of.


VTS Toys 1/6 scale The Revenger 12-inch figure is another chance for collectors to get their hands on a "Punisher: War Zone" Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle / The Punisher 12-inch figure if they had missed out on the earlier released, much talked about and much sought after Art-Figures: SAVES "Punisher: War Zone" 12-inch Figure (check out my earlier reviews HERE and HERE). Scroll down to see all the pictures of this VTS Revenger action figure :)



Box packaging is the tried and tested straight-forward shoe-box design. Lift up the box cover and the top tray reveals the VTS Toys 1/6 scale The Revenger 12-inch figure (Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle / The Punisher) in his black long sleeve sweater, combat pants, BDU belt and black combat boots. Other items found in the top tray are the 1/6 scale CQC holster with drop leg platform, CQC holster with molle platform and extra palm / hand for gripping his knife.

Scroll down to see the close-up views of the VTS 1/6 scale Revenger head sculpt which resembles Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle seen in the 2008 film "Punisher: War Zone". Pretty good likeness if you ask me ;p


The second tray is where all the goodies are :)


Here's a picture of everything taken out of the tray / box and laid out. There are many small parts so make sure you don't loose any. VTS Toys VM-009 1/6 scale The Revenger 12-inch figure comes with a pair of tactical gloves (fingerless), bendy hands x2, watch, body armor, combat belt, AR-15 magazine holster, grenade pouch x 2, fragmentation grenade x 2, CQC holster with drop leg platform, CQC holster with molle platform, CQC pistol magazine holster x 2, AR15 carbine with reflex sight, suppressor, grenade launcher, rail cover x 2, AR-15 mag 1 + 1, 40mm grenade x 3, tactical rifle sling, Beretta 92 pistol x 2, pistol magazine x 2, tactical mod revolver with micro red dot scope and weapon light with laser, revolver rounds x 6, revolver drop leg holster, combat knife with scabbard.


The all important body armor with the skull print. The skull is the Punisher's signature, just as the shield is Captain America's. Two spare pistol magazines are stored in the two CQC pistol magazine holsters secured to the armor vest on the right side. The 1/6 scale CQC holster with molle platform for one of his pistols is secured on the left side of the armor vest. 


The Punisher's weapons (1/6 scale weapons included in the VTS Toys The Revenger 12-inch figure set): two stainless Beretta 92FS Inox pistols and two fragmentation grenades (there's also his watch in the foreground). In the Punisher comics, Frank Castle's favorite firearm is the M1911.


Also included: a 1/6 scale Smith & Wesson Model 500 Performance Center Magnum revolver with a Knight's Armament RIS setup, a tactical flashlight, a laser, and a black suppressor installed. The flashlight and laser are removable.


The 1/6 scale Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver can be taken apart into two parts by removing the retaining pin. The revolver hammer can be pulled back.


And the revolver cylinder can be removed. The six bullets are also removable.


VTS Revenger 12-inch figure also comes with a 1/6 scale custom M4A1-type carbine equipped with KAC Quad-rails, a C-More red dot optic sight, an Advanced Armament Corp M4-2000 suppressor, and a short-barreled AG36 grenade launcher.


The 1/6 scale custom M4A1-type carbine can also be taken apart by removing the retaining pin and the charging handle along with the bolt carrier group is also removable. The spring is to assist the charging handle and blot carrier group to spring back into position when pulled. Watch out for the forward assist assembly which comes off when you separate the upper receiver group from the lower receiver with buttstock (which is also extendable). Both fire selector levers / switches on the rifle as well as grenade launcher are also movable. Two rifle magazines and three 40mm grenades are also included.


Here's the VTS Toys 1/6 scale The Revenger 12-inch figure aka Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle in Punisher War Zone with his two stainless Beretta 92FS Inox pistols


On his right leg he's got the CQC holster with molle platform for his Beretta 92FS Inox and the combat knife in sheath / scabbard secured on his lower right leg. On his left leg there's the 1/6 scale CQC holster with drop leg platform for his Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver as well as a M4 / AR-15 magazine holster for the spare rifle magazine. He also wears the combat belt attached with two grenade pouches for his fragmentation grenades. There is some weathering done on the black combat pants too.


Check out the 1/6 scale combat boots. They are very well made.
