Well damn! Taarna looks great! I think I'll need to pick this up. I'm still consistently tempted to buy the FigBiz version even though I don't care for the smaller scale. But this one is so much better!

I wasn't too impressed with the figbiz figure and price but, wouldve purchased it anyway (to keep on the card) if they used the Chris Achilleos art that was used for the movie poster.

I never saw Heavy Metal, but it's nice to see this movie getting some love almost 40 years later.

Quite a few updates, but they've gone and updated the facial sculpt and included an extra hairpiece. Both changes have definitely made this a must-own for me. If anyone is still interested, the pre-order has been extended until February 28, 2021.

Also, the video below straight-up reveals their plans for RED SONJA and VAMPIRELLA figures!!!

Still looks like a weird custom to me, I think it's the excessive airbrushing

The above image is a one-off/proof-of-concept/prototype, so at that stage it is little more than a weird custom. Actual figure production begins in March, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Regardless, with word that Red Sonja and Vampirella are in the pipeline... I. CAN'T. WAIT.

I want this figure a lot , but do not really want Avis. I was really hoping to have Lady death in my hands before this ended so I could see and feel what to expect in the quality department. I may end up having to go thru Big Bad after Lady Death shows up.

The head and hair are a big improvement but the body just looks odd to me. Makes me wish Moore Collectibles was still around, they had the best female figure sculpts. And they had the Heavy Metal license at one point but, I think it was only for the second movie.
