Hi
there,
I
received your mail at www.thepunisher.co.uk
but
accidentally
deleted it before reading it! However, my friend at www.thepunisher.com
has also received your mail and forwarded it on to me, and to
say I am impressed would be an understatement! Very nice work
on your costume, man!
And looking round your website, you seem to have a truly awesome
collection of Star Wars memorabilia! I have a few vintage figures
on display in my lounge at home, but nothing compared to your
lot of stuff - well done!
Cheers
James www.thepunisher.co.uk
Here
are some pictures of my custom PUNISHER costume. I have been working
on this costume for about 2 years now. I used the Tim Bradstreet
comic book cover art as a base for the costume. I think I came
pretty close to the version for the new PUNISHER movie having
never seen a picture of it till last week.

No,
those are not real guns, they are deactivated modified airsoft
weapons in a custom self-modified foot locker I purchased at TARGET.

..........
I
had the t-shirts special made for me by my local t-shirt company
here in town from an image I drew up on poster board. The pants
are special police issue and all the gun holsters are real ballistic
shoulder and leg units purchased from a police supply store online.
I got the bullet belt, skull belt buckle and PUNISHER ring on
sale at HotTopic. I modified the belt buckle to have red glowing
eyes by installing red LEDs in the eye sockets and powering them
with a 9 volt battery. The shades are Oakley rip-offs and the
boots are Vietnam jungle boots I purchased at a local Army-Navy
Surpus store.

and Thomas Jane aka Frank Castle the PUNISHER from the soon to
be released movie of the same name. I was invited to attend a
signing on Saturday, March 27th by my good friend Brian of Classic
Comics in Buckhead.
Check
out the link on The
Official Punisher Website as well...

Brain
also is the creative mind behind Atlanta
Comic Con. Special thanks to Mr. Jane for taking the time
to answer all of our questions and staying late and giving all
of us a chance to pose with him for pictures.
I
am glad I was able to have the official PUNISHER tee overnighted
to me from HotTopic. I was the only one costuming as PUNISHER
and Mr. Jane really loved my costume.
I think he really just liked looking at Kristen...

Well,
wouldn't you? I know I do...
Thanks
again to Brain for inviting me to this once in a lifetime event,
I will not soon forget it, and for all of the promotional swag
he had on hand for the fans.

I
really love the double-sided theatrical release PUNISHER movie
posters as well as the special smaller posters that Thomas Jane
was signing for all of us.



After
an event like this I can't wait to see what Brain has planned
for Atlanta Comic Con
this year...
