Lol I didn't even write that. But I think a few pages back someone wrote that Howard got his inspiration for where she's from ancient Iran or something. Then there's this ^^^^^^

It's possible that HYRKANIA in the Red Sonja mythos is a fictional HYRCANIA, which in real life is part of today's IRAN. That's what was said, and it's a good pop culture trivia.

Who's the Machiko people are talking about going with Sonja?

No she has nothing to do with the movies. She's from the comics Alien vs Predator

So she's made her way to Australia and now in hand I have to say she's all kinds of 'teh' awesome.

There's a lot of amazing details in things like the base, her hair, etc. Most everything is very well done. There's some slop where the skin tone meets other colours, but that just seems to be the norm these days. Not acceptable, but still the norm.

I have no problems with the skin tone. Yeah, she's darker than solicited, but as I mentioned she's from what is now modern day Iran so the darker flesh is not a problem for me.

My main point of note though is that the body and head were either painted by two different people who didn't discuss it first or by the same assclown who just doesn't care because the tones above and below her necklace are different. It's not immediately noticeable, but I shot the pics under a few different lighting conditions until I thought I captured it.

Am I keeping mine? Hells to the yeah!! Can't wait for Conan to go with her.

Judge for yourself.

Uh really noticeable.

Uh really noticeable.

f###k me thats bad,

Yep. Roy Thomas said she was from Hyrkania, which Robert E. Howard had based on the very real Hyrcania which is now modern day Iran.

Sorry, bit of a REH and Conan nerd.
