I lost track of all those Jason heads, this isn't the Hot Toys Aquajason you rooted?
Clothing and head look good in combination with that....super skinny, elf-like M33 body. It's a more 'realistic' feeling look somehow, compared to the pumped up archermachine you made.
And about the big shoes and armguards, do you think fur padding might help?
Thank you. Nice imagery. And of course perhaps he is running away from wolves...
Yes, it is the HT Aquaman head that I scalped and haired. First thing I've really done with it.
Super skinny? M33? It is just skinny for this type of clothing. Which has its benefits -- the clothing can fit relatively easily -- but the vambraces and upper boots are too wide. It is no problem to fill them in with wrapped cloth or something, but I think the point I was exploring is whether they would look right -- and they would still jut out well beyond the surface of the skin, more so than looks sensible.

I'm glad I passed on the vambraces and boots, after perusing your earlier link; and now that I see them in person, they definitely wouldn't have worked for the body I was intending to use. Still, he does look cool. I still think his Conan movie wasn't very good -- Arnold for the WIN!!! -- but as any other type of fantasy character, Momoa works here, despite the oversized of some of his accessories.
You are welcome and thank you. Ironically, Toy Anxiety just parted out that set again. I would have posted earlier, but we were without power for two days. Exactly how skinny a body are you planning to use? M32 (please don't say M31 LOL)? No, the Jason Momoa Conan movie wasn't all that great, but I also didn't think it was completely horrible -- perhaps because I expected to be disappointed. I have read or been told that the Conan stories were usually quite campy and silly, and that (for example) the second Arnie Conan movie was more in their spirit than the first (which I consider infinitely better). So perhaps Momoa's Conan movie falls in that category and suffers accordingly. So did the one with Kevin Sorbo, where they couldn't get Arnie to come back to play Conan and they renamed the character... the name escapes me... Krull something?

Still that character looks very cool and totally fitting the conan universe, I second the suggestion of adding pants or fur to fill in the gap on the upper part of the boots, and seeing the "strength" of the guy, may be some leather arm bands or wraps would be enough...
Very cool anyway! Now I want a Conan fix with plenty of warriors and warrioresses, let the blood cover the floor by Crom!!!
I agree that at this point Conan IS Arnold, and Arnold IS Conan (and the Terminator, and a few other things). Glad you liked it. I actually wanted to give him the CooModel Viking pants (which also work well as dirty modern pajama bottoms), but since the question was how do the vambraces and boots look on a slimmer body, I left him with his gambeson and below it a stylish loincloth that was part cloth, part fur. No, he wasn't going Commando! With the pants on, the boots would look much less bulky on the figure; the vambraces would probably still be a problem, unless combined with ("chain") mail or some other bulky outfit. Arm bands a possibility for the next upgrade.
Isn't there supposed to be an upcoming Conan movie? With an old Conan and maybe a young son trying to match his father's glory? I hope Chris Pratt plays the son. LOL

Thank you very much! You are very kind, especially considering these are essentially various combinations based mostly on the two outfits that came as part of this one set. But I do think they have potential, if I stick to them and do more with them.
