all of you are right, it looks big. As tominator56 said, a front pic would help.

We need a better body for Conan, i hate the Hts one, will wait for KPs new body suposed to be like Arnolds back then.

I don't think the KP04 will be good for Arnold as the pecs are not as large as the KP03, but the KP03 is getting a special edition with larger legs, so that may end up being the best option.

Took this pic from another forum,

I think the best body will be the right one, KP02, more than Kp03. Any other options in the market?

Definitely need to shrink the head, if you can it might be worthwhile to match it to the size on the DX10 head, I think it's very well scaled head for these kind of bodies.

Yeah, the TTM-19 (and it's knock-offs) as well as the KP03 are just a bit too small. Heights not bad on the KP03, but it's not as robust. I think the KP02 is the best out of that shot, but the HT muscular body has a similar build, but doesn't suffer from the chicken legs, so it fills out the pants better.

I had planned on using either the T2 or T1 body, but they have very long necks... so I went with the DX10 with the Bane arms added in. Right now I have the same Body Sean posted with his head, but with the nicer looking arms.

Conan head looks 10%-15% too big to me. However the sculpt itself looks phenomenal. 3D printer probably needs a reference. Also will there be any additional shrinking in casting?

Please take down the shrunken head. Not only is it creepy as hell, it was a person at one point.

I feel it's slightly too big too. DX10 does seem like a good size comparison

I don't own one though, would anyone know the measurements of it?

The likeness looks real good too, one of the best it's fair to say, if not the best :yess:

No more chicken legs for Kp02, KP announced a limited edition of that body with new legs. Its a shame that for the first film outfit those legs are not gonna be shown. I hate Conan the destroyer movie, too childish for my taste.

also announced the second kit. I am very interested in the new sword sccabard and the dagger to put it around his waist as in the conan orgy scene.

The expansion kit looks great minus the omission of the headband (not sure why they wouldn't include that) but not digging that body at all... looks a bit cheap.

I'm going with a TTM-20 with Bane arms for mine

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

Hmm... while the legs do look better, they still seem a bit thin. Still, I might pick up a couple for other projects.

No interest in the expansion pack... looks like it's mostly Destroyer based and I can't stand that movie :lol

For the purpose it seems they built the new body, they could have made it a bit more aesthetically pleasing. The ab joint and shoulders still look underwhelming naked. The finish is too plastic and toy looking for a figure with so much skin on show

Will work great for characters with clothing on, this body won't work with the Fantasy Warrior kit though surely, those pants are really tight on the thigh on a TTM20, I'm expecting the legs to be bigger than those on the TTM20

everyone happy with this size? (new size on right)

Much better. Something seems off for me but that may be because it needs hair.
