CONAN OF THE MONTH - MARCH 2014



I hope to post a different Conan figure each month, but suspect I will get sidetracked. With best intentions though, here is an offering from Ral Partha dated 1977. I think he is quite a common figure , in a rather odd pose, squatting slightly and looking constipated, but that's part of the charm of early figures I guess. I have about 6 of this guy waiting for conversion.He has the correct Conan haircut, with a square cut fringe. In fact, the unpainted face looks a bit like James Earl Jones so I might pinch the head off one to make a film Thulsa Doom character (the novel Thulsa Doom has a bare skull for a head).

    Excellent painting. He does really look like Thulsa Doom from the movie as you mention.
