Conan the Barbarian Up for Pre-Order at Entertainment Earth

Robert E. Howard’s Conan character may be the author’s most popular creation but, it be honest, he’s not my personal favorite. My favorite has to be Solomon Kane, who can be enjoyed in a single collection, The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane, since Howard didn’t write nearly as many Kane stories as he did Conan stories. But since we talk about toys here (no, really), and there isn’t a Solomon Kane toy at the moment, it’s time I get to the point.

The Entertainment Earth e-mail feed delivers again, this time announcing a new Conan action figure from NECA. Though it’s based on the old movies, the actual toy looks great.

“Based on the impressive physique of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Conan the Barbarian Temple of the Serpent Action Figure is a stunning piece of plastic. This classic character comes to life with exquisite detail as crafted by the artisans at NECA, and features his sword and costume from the movie. Don’t miss this amazing replica of one of the greatest heroes the world has ever seen! “
