Something old, something new, for Day 17, these were a X-Mas gift from my wife, the ubiquitous modern collectible-The Funko Pop. Conan & Red Sonja.

From small little blobs of plastic to some big boys for Day 18, the four Marvel Treasury Editions, good stuff on the big page as I like to call them.
I'll do 2 posts with 2 each for today (as I think the limit is 3 pics per post still)

This is Cimmerian-adjacent, if that's okay.
In conjunction with the Gardner Fox estate, Kurt Brugel has been developing the first of many Crom the Barbarian anthologies, based on Fox's Conan-inspired hero, the first barbarian to appear in comics. This is very much a passion project.
If you write or draw barbarian lore, MRP, you should contact Kurt!

Cimmerian September continues with Day 19. Today features a pair of enamel pins recently released by Titan Comics that I wear on the shoulder bag I use when out hunting comics at shops and shows.
The first is the Conan logo

The second is based on Rob de la Torre's Conan art...

They do look awesome, but I usually shy away from "deluxe" stuff for budgetary reasons. The Frazetta Girls Icons Conan figure and the current Battle of the Black Stone Conan figure from Titan that just went up for pre-order look amazing and I was sorely tempted, but I passed on that and generally don't swim in that deep end of the collectible pool. I will admire them all day and I love seeing them out there for people, but I get too much sticker shock and buyer's regret at those price points.
But they are amazing pieces for sure. If I spotted one in the wild while at a show and I had the cash in hand for it, I might yield to the temptation, but I'm not going to do so via an online purchase.

PS if anyone hasn't seen them-these are the figs PN Gwynne mentioned:

Thanks for posting them. I've always liked Kull's early design, wish CTVT had gone that route.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Cimmerian September merch tour Day 20-today I feature my wall of "virgin variants" from the current Heroic Signatures/Titan Conan the Barbarian series, including Colleen Doran's SDCC exclusive cover. I'm not a big variant guy, but I asked myself if I would have bought these art pieces as prints of that size for $5 each and my answer was yes, and since there were no prints or portfolio plates of these images offered elsewhere, I bought them, as I knew I would display them and enjoy them. They are on display on the wall above my row of Conan graphic short boxes in my reading room.

I'm sure these are on your radar. Coming soon from https://www.frazettagirls.com/
Other figures are silhouetted on the card back, so we'll see if more Conan characters are to come. I'm not sure if Frazetta illustrated more than the main man.

Very much on the radar, but still undecided on these. They look awesome, no doubt, but I have space and budget limitations so I need to consider these carefully. But I am much more likely to go for these than the Frazetta Girls Icons line or the Titan Battle of the Black Stone figure.
Thank you for posting them though, they ae gorgeous figures and a line full of great characters.
