NEW CONAN ACTION FIGURE


Like many other characters from the Golden Age of Pulps, Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian has long been an icon in the pantheon of heroes. From his reprinted stories, comic books, movies to toys and beyond, Conan is indelible in the world of fantasy and adventure entertainment.


Due to ship in August is a 1/12 scale action figure of the Frank Frazetta cover image from the Lancer paperback edition of  "Conan the Adventurer".



Conan The Barbarian 1/12 Scale Figure Frank Frazetta

The One:12 Collective presents Conan The Barbarian; based aesthetically on Frank Frazetta’s famous paintings of Conan, Robert E. Howard’s legendary character.

From recreating Frank Frazetta’s ‘The Barbarian’ painting, to readying Conan for a long trek across the snow peaked mountains of his homeland, to an epic Hyborian Age battle, the One:12 Collective Conan figure includes a bounty of weapons, accessories, and outfitting to create many distinct looks for display.

The fearsome warrior is outfitted in an interchangeable loincloth and includes a removable crossbody battle axe harness, removable cape that drapes freely, belt that can hold his sword sheaths and dagger, and mid-calf boots.

Barbarian of the far north, Conan was born on a battlefield and became a respected warrior by the age of 15. Traveling throughout the world, Conan has been a thief, outlaw, mercenary, and pirate. Motivated by his own survival, power, and enrichment, Conan will do whatever it takes to rise to the top.
