Been waiting practically my entire life for figures from Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. I've been a fan of the Conan character for as long as I can remember, and I ate up anything associated with Frank Frazetta styled fantasy art, which is probably why I became a He-Man fan. As a kid, when I would bust out my MOTU or Remco MOTU knock-off figures, I would try to recreate the action from the Conan movies. I REALLY wanted figures from both Conan films so I used my MOTU figures as stand-ins (I only found out in adulthood that Remco actually did make Conan figures).
That being said, these figures are a mega disappointing and I will not purchase any of them. I understand why Super7 used the MOTUC bodies, but they just don't work as representations for real-life humans, even ones as massively buff as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sven-Ole Thorsen. Thought the same thing when Super7 revealed their movie He-Man figures. I can't believe the weapons shown in these images are shown to scale because they are gargantuan and totally unrealistic, even for the massively muscular bodies the figures are using. I don't understand why that version of Conan would come with a broken Father's Sword, and Thulsa Doom should have an unbroken Father's Sword, and where's his rad bow and snake arrows? The likenesses on the helmeted versions of Thulsa Doom, Rexor and Thorngrim are just OK...they are almost there, but the unhelmeted heads have really soft sculpts that don't capture the look of their respective actors very well at all, and look a bit cartoony to me. What expression is the open-mouthed Conan head even supposed to be making? It almost looks like it's about to start singing or something.
I really, REALLY wish I had something good to say about these figures.
