Taarna Heavy Metal Premium Format Figure

[V8Falcon]

Looks good. I like the face and the paint work. Base fits with the HM world I think. But also not sure about the pose. Only because in these pics it appears to have a slight off balance lean going on and I agree something is needed in the other hand. However, the little bracelet on her wrist makes me suspect there will be a switch out hand because she didn't have that in the original design. If this is true then the ex is a must because it will likely be the pendant from the Barbarian tribe she's hunting. I hope they remembered to include the Taarakian symbol on the left side of her neck. Can't see anything on this but the wind blown sculpt of the hair should allow for it to be seen. So if the lean is fixed, she has the neck symbol, AND the pendant with the Barbarian symbol is the ex for her other hand then I'm in. Oh, and green blood on the blade of the sword would be a nice touch too.

With that pose, I'd probably have her facing away from me, lol. Anyways, if they had her holding something in her other hand like a shield, axe, mace, or gun it would be badass. The fist just doesn't work.

Taarna is missing the Taarakian symbol on her neck. Statue needs that, red lips, and more flesh color and then it would be perfect.

I like the pose and the body looks movie accurate.

If it sells well would like to see more Taarna statues.
There is suppose to be a Taarna comic book but the art unfortunately does not look like the movie Taarna style.

The ideal thing for her to be holding would be the medallion that she picks up early on. It would give the attitude of the 'fist pumping' arm a little more reason for being- though I still think the pose as a whole is pretty weak sauce.

And yes- the tattoo, and skin and lip color all need to be there. It's almost like there weren't even interested in trying this time.

It's nice, but I'm not wowed.

You gotta wow me at these prices.

Without the backdrop I feel reactions would be even lower.

Maybe not, if she has a sweet hiney.

I'm not a fan of the backdrops, they're distracting.

I could see this one going the way of LSF Indiana Jones. Just back from the con, have a (lousy) pic of the head on the base I will try to post. Was not floored in person either, and few seemed to know who she was.
