It got me thinking while going back and reading some of my old Conan the Barbarian comics from the 70s that this franchise would make for some excellent figures kinda in the mold of Masters of the Universe Classics. Keep in mind I am talking about the early comics that Roy Thomas did such an amazing job writing.
Think about it, there's so many bright and colourful characters to be made and with so much wizards, demons and everything else Its kinda strange that we havent really seen a legendary toy line come out of this comic fantasy adventure.
Anyone else agree?

I would. I'd like them to be like the old movie maniac figures. More display than play, if you know what I mean. And bloody as  . |

Neca made a few back in 2009. But the MOTUC bucks fit the characters perfectly. However, I think the market is to niche, similar to the Planet Of The Apes figure community.

All tried to market them. Most only made it a few characters. Its a niche market for sure. I was oart of that market, hopefully one day. |

Toy Biz made a very nice Conan figure a few years back.  The problem with Hasbro's PotA line was their stockiness and preposed stance. (Especially Taylor) who also suffered from one arm being noticeably shorter than the other. But that Hasbro PotA line along with Hasbro's DCSH 6" line were the first things I ever ordered online. I got a case of each from EE.  |
