Mezco One 12: Conan the Barbarian (Frank Franzetta)

[Rotfish]

Whoa, nice work Eamon! Solid dynamic pose without looking too busy. Might be more interested in the statue than the figure if the paint apps are there.

Conan 1:6 Mixed media statue (designed by me) was put out last night by the looks of it. Sculptor did an amazing job. Hope folks dig it. More details soon as there is more to say on this.

Wait, is this Mezco too? This is incredible! I'm afraid of the price, but I almost don't care...

 

[Eamon]

Thanks guys.

Why not have both? I will.

This is 1:6 not 1:12 in case folks aren't seeing the small sign there.

Wow Mezco keeps on keeping on...they are gonna get more money from me this coming year...

 

[Thainitty]

that statue looks fantastic

 

[screamingmetal]

The statue does indeed look amazing, love the fine striations in his hair!
But that will easily be out of my price range.

So, I’m the only one who doesn’t like it? Muscles look very unnatural and that torso is way too thin.

I was there today and happened to get to talk to Mez about the figure. He said he really wants to fill in that gap in the torso, in the first shots on this thread it shows the large gap between the torso and the arms. So he wants them to fix that. He also said he'll be coming with a bunch of weapons and a cape. Was pretty cool to get to meet and talk with him.

This is bought. I'd love to see more versions of him like McFarlane's line years ago.

Good news. Did he give you any other details about upcoming figures that weren't shown.

A guy next to me asked him about John Wick's elbows, Mez wasn't sure what body they were displaying him with, but he went on about how having the suit look good on the figure is integral to JW's character; ie I don't think they want it getting all scrunched up with double jointed elbows. He said Gomez buys his suits at Sears so he doesn't care how they look but Wick will have nice suits and they need to look good.

Eamon, this looks fantastic. I’ll be following this statue’s progress for sure! I only collect MOTU statues and the Mondo line but will definitely be making an exception for this. Love the pose. I’m not familiar at all with Mezco, do you know if Sideshow sells their stuff or is it easy enough for us UK residents to buy directly from Mezco?

Cheers ����

I agree. The huge veins also distract from the figure.

 

[Rotfish]

Why not have both?

Your logic is oddly impeccable.

Have there been any other photos of the 1/6 statue? Can't seem to find them on Toyark. Did they completely miss it?

EDIT: Found this! Good close-up of the statue at 5:07.

Have you seen any good figures of conan lately? There are none. There are statue like figures with no articulation. This is the one the I have been waiting for a long time in terms of an actually good conan figure that is not Arnold. And for muscle wise. He's a comic character. I like the fact that he is ripped beyond measure. He's not the tallest guy in his world but one of the strongest, smartest and best warrior of his time. Also depictions of conan varies and in terms of asthetics. A body builder type of the golden era has big muscles but very tiny waist like the comic book heros. Even arnold had a 35 waist. And Sergio had an astounding 28 inch waist. That my friend is beyond smaller compared to the look that this figure shows.
