Just got my wave 3 today, holy cow these are amazing. The boxes are an easy 11 out of possible 10. I even appreciate some key plot points in the bio, I had no idea the "secret to Thulsa Doom's longevity was from (assuming) eating the hand and foot soup lol. Love these figures to death, need more!!
I actually like Iconic Pose quite a bit but, yeah this one is much improved. Wonder if they're going to release that Conan Destroyer they showed at PowerCon a few years back.
The sheath isn’t a problem, it’s how it attaches. They should’ve made it a shoulder harness so it would run along the figure’s back. If it were that way it would’ve looked way better.
I'm still waiting for the Conan the Destroyer figure they first revealed years ago then never mentioned again. He looked awesome. Instead we keep getting these scene specific versions of Conan like Pit Fighter Conan who appeared for about five seconds in the first film.
The only good looking Conan from Super7 was the one they showed at PowerCon 2019 and they had to use the exact same plastic or paint on the face and naked body parts. When this line was first announced at PowerCon 2019 I got very excited and though "OK even though I've been avoiding to buy live action inspired action figures I'm going to have to open and exception for this new Super7 Conan the Barbarian movie line.". After the preorders opened and I saw that the first Conan wasn't going to look exactly as the one they showed at PowerCon I thought "They will probably release the other version I liked later on!!!". When I finally saw the review I thought "I'm glad I ended up not preordering them.". The first time I saw a Super7 Conan, not only the face sculpt was better but it had mat plastic/paint and not this very reflective plastic with no paint Super7 uses so often. The exact same thing happened with the comics version Conan, the promo pics looked amazing with mat colors but the actual product ended up being released with this same reflective plastic that makes the action figures look more like toys then collectibles. When I was a kid I remember complaining about the difference in the promo pics compared to the actual action figure in my hands but they were just toys to play with (even though I already treated them as collectibles and still own every single one complete and undamaged). Later on when I first started buying action figures to collect/display and not to play I remember thinking "These are indeed collectibles, they finally look like the promo pics." Every time Super7 uses this skin tone plastic the result is the same, the promo pics look great but the actual figures look meh. For the price point Super7 charges the final product should look exactly like the promo pictures, these are supposed to be... maybe not high grade... but higher grade collectibles. Thanks for the review Toy Bro.
I know your comment was from 2 years ago but really helped my decision making. I really like the Thulsa Doom and his henchmen. But didn't like any of the Conans. This one is ok but I couldn't put what was wrong with it. But yes I agree I think the plastic is still too shiny (Mattel WWE Elite figures also are unpainted but their torsos are quite matte)
I ordered both the iconic pose and this steath mode Conan figure, but the two that I wanted most were the BWS homage and the Pit Fighter....well I managed to snag the Pit Fighter version for slightly above original retail cost, once you factor in shipping...still hunting for that first one though 👏😎👍 great 👍 unboxing and figure review 🎉
Weird. Why'd they leave off the white body paint? EDIT: Oversized sword again. Missing war paint on pants. Shine is toned down but not enough. Still not a fan of the sculpt although, it is improved. I was really on the fence because Conan is very dear to me and this is my favorite look from the movie but I think I'll wait until someone else does it better. Maybe NECA will try it again.
The two age old questions: 1) what is the riddle of steel? 2) what is the plural for Conan? Great review and can't wait for both of these figures, I am all in love the packaging and super pumped about all the improvements they make with each wave. Just reduce the size of those swords by 15-20% and we are golden.
Cool review! I definitely agree that this is the best one they’ve made. I do wish that body was updated, it takes away the realism of the figure a bit IMO. Likeness is still not right, but overall a very tempting figure!
The sword is WAY too long. The top of the sword should be where the blood starts. And even that would be Conan the Destroyer accurate, but not accurate for The Conan the Barbarian ( they added 2 inches of blade length in the sequel).
Anyone have any issues with the shoulder getting chewed up in the socket by the harder plastic of the chest piece? My figures shoulders where messed up by moving them up and down. Actually have pieces of plastic ripping off!
The heads on this Conan look much better sized to the MOTUC-style body than the previous ones. Can't wait til I get mine in!

Conan, what is best in life? This figure. The riddle of plastic.

best conan ultimates figure made by super7!!!! THIS ONE IS SO MUCH SUPERIOR than the previous waves!!! Thank you TOY BRO for the awesome review
The wheel of pain design on the Back is awesome. And the hilt of course
I wonder if we'll get a War Paint Valeria.

i really hope they do a kalidor from red sonya in this line as well as mezco lol.
What's really missing is a valeria and sobotai figure with the paint

Teh head sculpt looks better and that really helps, but this overall look is cool with the body paint. A cool look of Conan
Cool review! I definitely agree that this is the best one they’ve made. I do wish that body was updated, it takes away the realism of the figure a bit IMO. Likeness is still not right, but overall a very tempting figure!
Question, would you sell the sheath, I've got the iconic pose conan and want it for the sword but don't want 2 but this one 2 get it lol,thx
Come on Super7 make a Dutch from predator out of this mold. This mold is perfect for it.
Awesome review and it is the best of the bunch!
Very awesome super 7 fig. Wish you could compare to the Neca Conan figures.
Anybody know why "War Paint Conan" with the extra head isn't available at online stores? Only available for purchase is one main head sculpt figure...
Excellent video, thanks.
Has anyone made a more in scale sword for these figures yet... 3rd party?
The sword is WAY too long. The top of the sword should be where the blood starts. And even that would be Conan the Destroyer accurate, but not accurate for The Conan the Barbarian ( they added 2 inches of blade length in the sequel).
I really like this version and will get it. How do you tone down the gloss on the figure?
Handle it a lot, or you can go the full nine yards and do a couple light passes of spray matte clear coat on the areas that you deem to be too shiny.
What horse is that at the end of the video?
They’re always a bit to glossy for my liking but saying that I probably will get this guy 🤷🏻♂️
Anyone have any issues with the shoulder getting chewed up in the socket by the harder plastic of the chest piece? My figures shoulders where messed up by moving them up and down. Actually have pieces of plastic ripping off!
Is there a no Blood version? i keep seeing Photos of a non blood version
When were these figures released?
those resting hands and that ab crunch 😩
Crunching like it’s 2008.
@@georgeleorgebeorge2354 right lol
I believe the plural word you were looking for is "Conanzez".
Greetings TB I wonder that horse 🐴 from which Toy line is?
I lost my necklace on my conan wave 2 iconic wish I could find extra accessories
could have sworn he had white paint as well
this version is so much better than the other 2 Horrible looking figures
at 3:43 you get a good shot of the length of the sword's sheath th-cam.com/video/eV8YXCGFh8I/w-d-xo.html

something is just..off, about this conan line. The detail, sculpt, paint job feels like it would be standard/ acceptable for a figure 10-15 years ago.
Certainly not worth $50 😉
The plural for Conan is comen 😂
These still look like $15.00 figures to me. Big pass. (And I am a huge Conan fan.)
