No they haven't released a Conan before.

I don't disagree, but I guess also you have to think that this is a totally new sculpted body they won't use for anything besides Conan most likely. I'm sure we'll get 2-3 variants over time using this body like Popeye. Also looks like they're painting the whole body.

And I definitely can’t complain about the figure or the accessories - it's an amazing package.

The one thing I would’ve liked to see and that would’ve elevated this release even further - in the promotional pictures Conan is fighting against what appears to be the Mezco King Kong of Skull Island figure with a new head, as a stand-in for a generic ape-like beast.

Now, it would’ve been awesome if that new head was included with Conan. With an extra bloody, separated neck piece so those who don’t have the Kong figure can display Conan triumphantly holding the slain beast’s head, those who do have Kong can pop the head on that figure to have a monster for the barbarian to fight.

I plan to pitch Conan against Kong regardless but that would’ve been a neat thing to include IMO.

Good call, that would've been a fun and cool inclusion had they done it.
