I was going to buy two of each, but now I think I'll only get one of each. This is the first Solomon Kane figure ever made, so I'm buying it pretty much for that reason alone, even if it does look kind of goofy.Comment

^^^Thanks for the pics, Paul! They do look great... Sorry for the haters! With the exception of Conan, the other characters are not of any interest to me though.^^^Comment

Conan looks good to me. The other characters are okay but like others have said I have no real interest in them. If they were readily available at retail I might be tempted because of my addiction () but the wait time in rdering online kills the impulse buy that these would be for me.

I transplanted Conan onto a first generation ZICA body and he looks amazing! The head color and body color match perfectly. I'll try to take some pictures later.Comment

Can't wait to see your pics of FTC CONAN on that body Paul! Thanls for posting the pics! I think since Conan's head has always been a little oversized, KULL doesn't look bad next to him at all. I also agree w/ you that the quality of KULL's costume looks fantastic! I hope you don't think I'm a "HATER" just because I'm vocal about FTC releasing BIG (Oversized IMO) heads on their NEW figures.....In fact I wasn't going to say anything until your comment gave Player his opening for a snide remark about "The Usual Suspects". He can't help himself but try for the reaction & attention he seems to crave. But I hope you don't think my opinions & comments about FTC's products mean I don't totally appreciate the AWESOME & revealing pictures you post. I am very glad you post your pics, as they literally show me exactly what the product looks like. S I appreciate the pics & hope you don't think I'm trying to be a "Hater". I don't know why some people take the comments personally. So Thanks & I look so forward to seeing CONAN on that body! What figures came w/ the that BODY anyways? In case I want to track on down to make my Conan perfect!Comment

Here is the FTC Conan on a Type-1 ZICA body:
I boiled his head to get it off the FTC body. It was really hard to get it off, but I managed to do it without hurting the neck plug. I also took the opportunity to comb his hair, which made it look much less poofy. I'm really happy with the final result. I know when the ZICA bodies came out several people made ZICA Conans before, but FTC has made it so easy now. The hard part is tracking down an original ZICA body if you don't already have one.
As I said before, the head/body skin tone is very close to a perfect match. The neck plug was a little too long, so I had to trim it down, and the head is still a little loose, but I plan to fix that next.
All of Conan's clothes and accessories feel very well made and don't feel like they would break easily.
Even before the body swap, I think this is one of the finest FTC re-mego figures. After the swap, I think its one of my favorite figures in my whole collection!Comment

I rather like these--I'm anxious to see Solomon Kane. I'm planning an alternate Kull costume (he wore several) and some adversaries, too.
Nice swap, Paul--I knew I'd saved a few Zica bodies for a reason.Last edited by PNGwynne; Nov 8, '14, 10:10 PM.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

"Zica Conan" looks much better. Great job on the hair, as well.
This means I need a Conan AND a ZICA body.....
