Which is something that carried over into the animation. A couple of other things too.

I can appreciate where you are coming from, it is does miss on some of the accents from the ‘toon. However, it appears like they’ve captured most of the notes from the poster art, namely the belt design, wrist guards and the hyper-musculature of Dark Wolf. (he had softer muscles, different belt, and fur armbands in the rotoscoped presentation) It’s seems to be more of an interpretation than a faithful representation of Frazetta’s style, which would be hard to achieve, in my opinion. All that said, they had me at ‘Fire and Ice’ ANYTHING as I’ve been waiting for merch from one of my all-time favorite animations and, as a Bakshi fan, this is a double dip. Obviously, I’m hoping for a Teegra, at the very least, but also want Larn, Nekron, and Roleil (if I can be greedy in my wants). Additionally, this Dark Wolf will slot in nicely within my Mythic Legions collection; along with Red Sonja, I finally have some protagonists for the 4H figs I have.
