Mezco gave a nice heads up for an exclusive preorder tomorrow for Soloman Kane. I don't really know him, but he's a Robert E. Howard character. The figure looks neat so I'll probably try to pick him up. |

Fell in love with Howards writing because of the One:12 Conan, read all the Conan and Kull stories, will probably do the exact same with Solomon Kane
I do wish they would release more info like price, accessories and full sets of picture before putting up a limited pre-order though. Granted, Death Dealer was really easy to get and I assume people won’t go crazy over Solomon Kane as they do with Marvel or DC characters, but still. I always feel on edge with Mezco exclusives, especially since I don’t even know if I really want them or not before they go up for pre-order. |

Howard is one of my favorite authors, and I'll proudly display Solomon Kane alongside Conan and Death Dealer. |

Wasn't sure about this, but who am I kidding. I love Robert E. Howard, and this guy will go great next to my Conan (when he finally arrives). Paid in full, so now I'll have a surprise present come next spring.

All the weapons and heads sold me on him. He'll go well with the other Pulp style figures they have.

Just wow!
I'm not that familiar with Kane. I've seen the movie but never read the books. Despite that, this was an instant pre-order. FANTASTIC!

I'm sure everyone is going to think I'm an idiot for not knowing who this is... but he looks awesome!

It looks really great. I have no critique or even nit-picks whatsoever. But - I don’t want it.
Even though I feel like I might end up really liking the character after reading the stories, I don’t feel like buying this. It's weird but the bigger my collection grows the more I have to listen to my gut. And if my gut asks even once "Do I really need this?" the answer should be no. I have both Conan and Death Dealer on pre-order, this would complement them nicely but I still feel like passing. Again, weird, but this is not something I wanted or knew I needed in the first place, and ultimately it will cost me more than 100 bucks so the sensible choice is for me to not get it. Nothing wrong with the figure itself, it's a fantastic looking package. |

These aren’t really my thing, but I love REH and this guy looks pretty fantastic. Better than the Conan, I think.

I got mine pre-ordered. Here's hoping Conan will ship soon.
I like how the face-sculpt makes him look like a descendant of Conan. The interchangeable hair gimmick is great, and I really dig the look of his weapons, especially the torch. I've seen a lot of people say Kane looks like Van Helsing, and there are definite similarities but Kane wrestled a ghost through sheer force of will, which just makes him a touch more bad ass in my book.

He's technically in the Marvel 616 Universe (Monsters Unleashed #1 1973)So he's definitely going on my Midnight Sons shelf with the likes of Blade, Ghost Rider, Doc Strange, etc etc etc. I could also see him popping up in Savage Avengers alongside Conan. If that happens you'll probably see this one suddenly become hard to find.

That's actually a cool figure! Nice also to see some variation and not yet another MCU or Miles Morales figure.

I am sorely tempted by it myself. I thought their Conan was too Frazetta for my taste (not surprised if that draws accusations of 'HERESY!'). I was happy with the Super7 'Marvel inspired' offering for looks and affordability.

Jump on the waitlist if you're intersted! It's close enough to closing that it'll most likely get converted eventually.

Well for anyone like me who was too slow, BBTS has him up with a late tax.
