1:3 Schwarzenegger Conan Thread

Both statues look great. The shipping issue of sending two of the same statues to one buyer sounds like a major screw up. Maybe it makes sense to order just one statue at a time

From what i've send here, PCS are going to have do some sort of deal with the shipping companies involved, or foot the cost.

Imagine when Chun-Li 1/3 arrives, and buyers start receiving 3 of the same Chun-Li. I should be ok, as i ordered just one Chun-Li. Fingers crossed they send the correct one

Why add weight and cost of metal only to paint it silver?

Easier/cheaper to paint than polish. Its a shame, I expected it to look better also. It doesn't look bad, just not like the prototype that did "glisten" like you said.

I got a response today. They want me to return both war paints and they will send me out another set. I’m like why? They said the beach versions were sent to someone else. I got 2 war paints #2 and #3.

Send that warpaint directly to me frobay and I will call pop culture and tell them that their order to me is fulfilled.

I got my AP last Friday, but I pre paid shipping in December, so maybe that is why?

Forget what I said, they told me things they don't do, I just receive my CONAN numbered....

This was my most anticipated statue for a long time, only to be met with another hassle. I've got a few pre orders from back in the day, then I'm out until I see them headed in a new direction.

Got my warpaint earlier today, though it’s not very movie accurate, yet I am still impressed at how good it looks, I ran out of daylight to take any accurate pics, there was a small downer, the wheel of pain necklace is broken and I can’t find the broken piece, still very happy.

I plan to beef up the paint to look a little more realistic and a little more movie accurate, I also plan to tone down the kabuki warpaint a little to let the flesh color come through a little more.

I am very impressed with the 2 Conan’s I got, I think I like the warpaint a little more than the retail beach version, though that was pretty badass also.

Got my beach version...and I absolutely love it!! Better than I expected. Now I regret having sold my war paint version pre-order. I would actually have liked to have both displayed together. Have it displayed with the sideshow Fury of the Beast Conan and they look good together.

Freakin WOW! Finished my to do checklist on this, 1st I worked in some flesh tones to fade and weather the warpaint a little, redid the hair because it was very drab, redid the blood work to make it a little more movie accurate, weathered all the leather with dry brushing and washes, redid the blood work on sword, changed out the fur around the groin area with a shorter cropped fur that I had leftover from previous projects, the original fur though it looked good, looked a little long strand wise.
Also changed out the leather part of necklace, it was stretched out, I used the wheel of pain ornament from my retail beach version because the warpaint one was broken and was missing the broken piece, I made some adjustments to the WOP so it could seat properly on his chest, I should get a replacement WOP ornament to put back on the retail version, I really couldn’t be happier with the end results.

Seriously though nice pics. In yours you can really make out the hair colors. They did a good job on that.
