      I would have prefered Thulsa Doom or Thoth-Amon for Conan.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              I'd like to have seen Kane feature a molded hat, but these look nice.

              Korak is very Gold Key & well-sculpted.

              It seems to me it would be very easy for FTC to add foes Thulsa Doom and Thoth-Amon. In fact, Kull's FTC outfit looks very much like Doom's Marvel Comics togs.
              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.

                For some reason I see The Kurgen from Highlander in the King Kull sculpt.
                "When not too many people can see we're all the same
                And because of all their tears,
                Their eyes can't hope to see
                The beauty that surrounds them
                Isn't it a pity".

                    I ws going to get all three RE Howard figures, but now that I've seen them, I'm going to pass.
                    I'll just get Conan.
                    Kull and Kane (why does this sound like a duo of TV detectives?) don't impress me. Pity...

                      I'm picking up what your laying down.
                      I was excited about all three but I'm taking a pass on Solomon Kane the head just looks enormous!!!
                      Great looking clothes though....maybe I'll get him but I'm doubtful.

                        If we get some indication that Kane's head will be fixed I'd be in, otherwise I am not spending 30 bucks on an out of whack bobblehead. Kull kind of reminds me of Jim Shooter in the face.

                          Holy crap, you are right! He should be on the 10" body, though.

                            Kull and Kane just seem to look a little silly.
                            Maybe I had it wrong in my mind, thinking they'd look a bit more impressive. They have a Monty Python quality to them.
                            If Kane ever loses an arm, he'll probably shout "It's only a flesh wound!!!"

                            But Conan looks just right, and I don't have the Mego version. I'll get that one. And the card art looks fantastic anyway...

                              Yeah, that sculpt's clearly based on Russ Manning's work, while Tarzan was based on Joe Kubert's. I'll definitely pick up a couple of them!

                              EDIT: I would have really liked it if FTC used the material from Korak's loincloth for Tarzan, as well. The scale of the leopard print is much more accurate than the 1:1 stuff Mego used. I realized FTC's trying to imitate the Mego's the best they can, but this material looks more like "nudie camo" instead of leopard skin.
