Summary
Captures Frank Frazetta’s iconic Conan with two highly detailed portraits, realistic sculpted scars, and textured musculature reflecting the character's battle-worn nature. Includes multiple interchangeable hands, a variety of weapons with functional sheaths, and alternate loincloth options featuring metal chain mail, enhancing customization. The figure’s faithful articulation and Frazetta art-inspired packaging and base make it a standout tribute to a classic, yet often overlooked, pulp icon.
