Summary
The Conan the Barbarian figure is a highly detailed and faithful rendition of Frank Frazetta's iconic artwork, capturing his grim likeness, battle scars, and ornate weaponry with minimal cloth to showcase intricate sculpting. It includes an extensive array of interchangeable weapons, hands, and costume elements, allowing for versatile display options. Despite some minor fit and accessory handling issues, it stands out as a top-tier, collector-focused figure that closely embodies the classic Conan aesthetic.
Pros
- Sculpt and likeness directly inspired by Frank Frazetta’s iconic Conan paintings
- Detailed battle scars and facial paint work highlight character realism
- Includes two distinct head sculpts: iconic grim and raging expressions
- Extensive weaponry: broad sword, scimitar-style blade, dagger, axe, shield
- Functional scabbards with carabiner clips and axe storage loop on harness
- Two loincloth options, including chain mail version
- Multiple hand types for varied weapon grips and poses
- Necklace and cape accessories included for display variety
Cons
- Hands do not grip the dagger securely
- Sheath attachment to belt is frustrating and unstable
- Necklace difficult to position correctly with angry head sculpt
- Cape does not resemble preorder style and sits poorly on figure
- Scabbard hooks do not stay firmly in place
- Loincloth swapping is difficult and cumbersome
- Overall figure is somewhat “fidgety” in accessory management
