NEW PRODUCT: Mr. Toys MT2018-02 1/6 Conan head carving costume set

Me too. I may have two of my own customs/kitbashes, but the new Conans both look very cool.

One of the other things that has kept me from getting one yet is that I'm still undecided as to which body to use for it -- the M34, or the M35. While of course the M35 probably looks 'cooler', I feel like the M34 is more accurate to the on-screen look of Conan, in the first film at least. I need to find a way to surreptitiously ask my husband which one he prefers...

Well, if you can/are willing to afford it, get both M34 and M35 and both Conan sets (this and the Kaustic Plastik one also coming up) and do one with each body.

Ha, yeah, I guess that is one solution.   I may indeed end up getting multiple/both versions, but I think as a gift it would be more effective to just give one at a time. I'm probably getting ahead of myself anyway as I swore I'd wait to see it in hand before deciding.. ;p

I used the 34 for mine (if I remember correctly) as I didn’t need the legs to be super muscular with the pants.

Personally, I probably prefer the M34, as I find the M35 a little TOO muscular for my tastes. But as this this is not for myself, what's more important is that hubby likes it. So, I gotta think on this one a bit....

This one; I prefer it except for the sculpted hair and headdress.

Yeah, the KP outfit is definitely nicer, as is the actual sculpt itself , just a shame about the sculpted hair and head band. :/

I think I hadn’t considered the KP version at the time I first saw it , as I’d thought it was a lot for a set with a headsculpt I wasn’t going to use...

Both sets are in a sense a reprisal of the original "barbarian warrior" set by KP (and its "expansion pack") -- but the new KP set actually gets the second film's outfit correct.

Ah gotcha!
