I’m putting this thread here because of how cartoony Conan’s head sculpt turned out in final production. I think he’ll actually fit in with MOTUC figures now, because that head sculpt looks nothing like the prototype.

I’ve quietly defended Super 7 as being not that bad, as I’ve been extremely lucky with all my Super 7 Classics/Ultimates being QC free. My thinking was I couldn’t have been the only one receiving good quality dip...
I don’t consider having to heat up a figure’s head first to do a swap a big deal (I’ve always erred on the side of caution with all my figures anyway), and even though Super 7’s shiny plastic is annoying that didn’t bother me either because using a spray can with a clear matte finish is such a simple fix (of course I’d prefer not having to do it).
But this head sculpt is indefensible if you were looking forward a movie version of Conan. It looks like a movie accurate costume with a cartoon head slapped on. And hopefully it’s just the lighting, but the shininess of this plastic looks be be even worse. Did the factory seal the paint with Turtle Wax and buff the figures to a perfect shine??
But on the bright side for me, I may now order this figure because of the cartoonish head and add him to one of my MOTUC shelves. I originally passed on this line because I found them too realistic to fit in with my Classics figures, as I did with the MOTU movie figures.
I’m curious to see reviews of the rest of the wave now.
