I'm hoping this is still coming out next month. One of my most anticipated figures this year.

How awesome would it be to get a Death Dealer figure with red glowing eyes light up feature. He's not a Conan character (I don't think), but he would be a great companion piece to display along with Conan.

Ah dammit!
Now I have to get both Conan and this...

Conan now has a buddy to play with.

Yup Death Dealer is a reality. I noticed he and Conan have the same scimitar sword (mainly because that was Death Dealer's actual sword) but it fits for both characters.

So Conan killed DD?

Lol I doubt it's that but I imagine they used it since Frazetta drew both characters, he probably used the same weapon designs for his paintings.

So nice to see this... Need the HORSE to be released as well!

So there's another 1/12 Death Dealer by another company.

Have to say I much prefer the flesh tones. While I will definitely get it, I’m not that keen on the Skeletor blue.

I need to see full photos of the Mezco version to choose.

It looks more grey than blue, but who knows?

I had no idea this was even a thing.

Before he died he was Conan. Lmao Now we know that Death Dealer original concept was based on Conan's look. But I guess Frazetta thought this would look better for Conan instead of Death Dealer and so used this concept to build Conan's actual look. I feel Frank could have been a comic book artist at the time and would have brought his own amazing art to the type of genre.

These guys made the 1/6th Death Dealer I really wish they would make a Frazetta Conan in 1/6th with a newer seamless body that matches the body type frank drew for Conan. I'd drop money for that but it's not happening so I have to settle with a custom.

He started out his career in comics as a teen prodigy in the late 40's and into the 50's. Lots of lesser known stuff (Buck Rogers, an alternate "Ghost Rider", lil Abner). Please google it. He had an N.C. Wyeth feel to his paintings and was more selective with details in order to lead your eye around the picture. His comic book art is nothing but detail with line art so dynamic, it flows so much better than a one shot static pose. He was an absolute master!

Great art. The last photo of the cop shooting his own foot might be my favorite one.
