Mezco 1/12 - Conan 1982

If you don't want to pay pre-order deposits like how BBTS makes you, you can also pre-order from Entertainment Earth, they only charge you when the item's ready to be shipped. Anyway, I hope they make Unpainted Conan soon.

Damn... this looks like one fine figure.
Might actually have to start saving for this one, they get quite expensive here in Europe.

Love the severed head accessory

Kaustic Plastik is working on their licensed Conan as well. Preview (whatever that means) at SDCC this year. Slowly but surely, this movie is getting more love.

Yes, KP is on it, but that's just one figure for now and who knows when it will be released? Remember Chronicle Collectibles stepped up to the game with a Conan pre-order, but they went under before they could deliver anything. For a classic fan-favourite genre film the 1982 Conan is a hugely neglected property in the high-end collecting world. We're getting there, slowly, some 40+ years later!

Have to say, I'm a little disappointed by this release. There's not much there with the sculpts and accessories. I enjoy Mezco figures because they're usually very generous with all the extras, but this one is slim. Two of the heads are almost identical, other than the side-eye shift. Don't know how the severed head will display and the snakes are useless. Well, it is what it is and I suppose there isn't much from this scene in the film that they could have added as extras.
