Well I guess you're right then. Saying the face looks fine is also just an opinion.
Surprised people hate the face sculpt.
It looks EXACTLY how I picture the Robert Howard Conan's face.
Not a young Conan, but in the later stories where he is much older, around Beyond the Black River and Red Nails (estimated around 40 by some Conan hardcore fans)
He is a barbarian from the north who has lived a hard life. The women that fall for him do so because of his brute power and ability to protect them. Not because he's dashingly handsome.
So many Conan statues have him too clean cut and good looking. The Prize for me falls into that category.
Just my opinion though.....

LOL! Captain save a statue!
I agree the face and pose are awful. They should have taken the face from the fury of the beast which is a close to the face on the old Conan comics. It would also have assured some continuity with respect to the Conan statues. Just my opinion of course.

Yeah I figured it was mid 40s Conan but it's not the age of the face. It's the face that he's making in the pose that he's making. I understand I'm being a bit critical but for $450, I'm gonna be critical. I just really wanted a Conan and I was hoping this would be the one to get because like someone said earlier, the Fury of the Beast hides too much of Conan. But the more I see this, the more I fall in love with Fury of the Beast so either way, SS is gonna take my moniez!
But back to the face. What story is the face and the pose telling? I don't see one. It doesn't say anything for me. It's not a museum type pose and I can't distinguish it as an action pose. But the anatomy is freaking amazing. But I can't for the life of me figure out why he's making that face.

Maybe they were taking inspiration from Frazatta, since his is the definitive Conan in just about everyone's book.

Yeah the price definitely deserves criticism.
The face just looks like battle rage as he steps off the ledge down into a pit/courtyard/castle grounds to go all bezerker on a bunch of undead skeletons....doesn't seem out of place to me? I mean I think half the internets memes are made up of sports stars mid move making faces that look far more out of place
In terms of which statue to buy ....remember there is also the upcoming ARH one ..... and they keep making references to a gigantic dio base including wench and enormous snake/monster thingy ..... I have a feeling THAT is going to be the one to buy ....

It's fine. I'm fairly confident that most people find me incredibly annoying
I'm trying to get better I swear!

Head sculpt aside. This sculpt is amazing. Look at the perfection in the calves. The veins are even moving correctly with the stretch in the side of his leg. Biceps are perfect. Abdominals may be a little over detailed but that's fine with me. Delts and pecs are outstretched and they look great as well. The anatomy is great.

His abs look like anyone elses if they were that lean and jacked.

No lol. They look straight out of a comic book. But that's fine with me. I don't remember seeing anyone at the ASF looking like that lol.

Story told by the face..." I, Conan the Cimmerian, rue the fact that I was born in an age of high adventure, but no Ex-Lax at all. In fact, I'm quite upset about it!"

Got some pics or is it in the SDCC thread?

I've been around bodybuilders, powerlifters and strongman competitors for the better part of my life. I've seen abs like that on many.
But have you touched their abs? Have you ever even smelled them? You cannot know true abs until you have licked them
