Excellent. Good stuff!

We will also be offering a small about of bald heads without the wig for those interested.

How can so many people be interested in buying one, yet so few have paid?

Sadly it happens a lot, and people wonder why sculptors have started asking for deposits :lol

It could be that many people are opting for the Modern Life versions.

Personal opinion, when this ones painted and wigged, I think it'll look better than a mass produced one. But can't blame people going that route.

True. That's what happens when multiple versions of the same character suddenly seem to pop up at the same time. It's happened with the Joker (not to mention the recasts) and Maximus. In addition to this one there's the Modern Life version plus a pretty poor looking ebay HS. Pretty sure the competition was spurred by KP's Fantasy Warrior. Personally I happen to like this version best of all I've seen. I'm waiting for someone to start working on a custom Sean Bean Ned Stark head given the dreadful one being shown.

Yea. A new head for that definitely needs to be made. That doesn't look anything like him lol.

Isn't the fantasy warrior so pose to be mainly for the accessories and body? The HS they throw in is no where near arnie likeness but that's due because they don't have the licensing rights.

I know that the modernlife is coming but I also support the artists in this forum and for me if they are casting and putting time, money an effort on this, we should go fr ths sculpt. But I respect other peoples choices as long as they keep their word.

Any ETA for the sculpted heads and pcitures of a proto of the wigs?

Agree with the above. If you've expressed an interest, follow through and support the efforts that go into doing what they do!

Thanks guys

I appreciate the support. It's tough when people don't follow though as I need to rely on this to pay the bills etc!! I am really excited about this head - it will look amazing once wigged and painted!

anyway, the parts are on the way to the moldmaker, he should be receiving any day (he is in Canada so post is slow) then off be molded and then off to the wig maker!

I will keep you informed

next pics will be the head on the 'fantasy warrior' figure

I think it looks a bit big. Anyone else think that!?

Re: Conan The Barbarian (1982) Head Sculpt [sdabbs] - PAYMENT INFO 1ST POST

yeah I am on the 'bit big' side. gonna check it thoroughly and if we need to reprint I will have it reprinted on priority

Re: Conan The Barbarian (1982) Head Sculpt [sdabbs] - PAYMENT INFO 1ST POST

I was hoping it was the camera angle, but it definitely looks too big. The sculpt, however, is just incredible.

Glad you caught that, I was a bit scared saying anything but I do agree its a tad bit big. Still waiting to see the wig on before I make my purchase.

Wow, the head looks incredible... I'm working on something for my Conan, but if I fail I may be interested in picking one up if still available.

I assume most who are picking this up will be using the KP outfit and choosing between either the KP02 or a HT Muscular body... so hopefully this comparison is helpful for anyone unsure of what they plan to use. I'll be putting up a longer review with more pictures later on.

I think the KP might have a slightly better look in the chest and shoulder width... but I still prefer the look of the HT arms and better overall proportions. In the first two shots it's a KP02 with the KP Fantasy head and then the next two shots are DX10 body w/Bane Arms and a DX10 head I plan to add hair to.

In fairness to the KP, I did not tighten the outfit as much as I did in the pictures with the HT body, so the jerkin should look more form fitting than this:

A front on shot would give us a better representation of it, but that side view is definitely makin it look like its too big! Glad to hear that any adjustments are guna be done quickly though!
