Does any place make any good Conan the Barbarian models, (Arnold style)?

I know the plastic barbarian from Warhammer Quest was made to look like Arnold, but it is a little hokey.

I was wondering if anyone else knew of another modeling company that makes anything similar to the Conan from the 1982 movie.

Thanks! Mez

Arnold isn't Conan. I may be the only one who cares about actual Conan fluff, but that movie was crap.

Nerd gripe over.

Conan the Barbarian was a great film, good action good dialogue and a good performance from James Earl Jones. The sequel was rather poor, but cheesy fun.

Each to their own.

Second movie was crap. First rocked! Sorry, that is how I was introduced to Conan....

Exactly what I was looking for - Conan and Valeria:




Now I just need Subotai, Rexor, and Thorgrim!

Valeria is supposed to be a pirate, for crying out loud! Thulsa Doom was a Kull villain; I have the issue... *dies inside*

Those minis look really good though.

I think you may be mixing up Valeria and the Pirate Queen he married.
And i love both the books, comics and the movies.
Arnold rocked.

No, Valeria was a pirate he hooked up with and then parted ways (because they were both really stubborn). He saved her from getting raped by a tribal chieftain guy and they killed a dragon thing. I'll have to get the name of the story it happens in. Either way, Conan is an awesome character.

Avatars of War, has a great looking barbarian model. It looks like Conan from the comics.

Hope this helps

Given that Conan has always been rather gritty and down to earth you may be better looking as some historical ranges. 28mm Ancient/Medieval miniatures are 10 a penny.

I'm amazed nobody has done any Frazetta style Conan figures.
