Barbarian Gladiator of Aquilonia (Conan) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:85808
Name:Barbarian Gladiator of Aquilonia
Contest:Barbarian Horde
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Conan
Creator:ZombieKev  
Date Added:October 1, 2016
Base Figure:DC Deluxe Dr Manhattan, Marvel Icons
Height:12.75 inches
Hey Everyone, here's a Cimmerian barbarian pressed into the gladiator-slave pits of Aquialonia. With his natural ferocity and fighting skills, he's made short work of his opponents and plots for the day he will escape & taste freedom again!

I'd actually been working on this base body for weeks intending to use it for a different character. When I realized that I couldn't finish in time for the deadline, I took inspiration from another entry here and switched it to a barbarian gladiator since I could do a costume for it with the hour I had left.

This figure is all about THE BOD. While the 1:12-scale (6-inch) world is overflowing with extremely muscular yet aesthetic super-articulated bodies, the 1:6 (12-inch) world unfortunately is not. Since no 12" bodies had the look I wanted, I had to create it.

BODY: DCDeluxe Dr Manhattan base + Marvel Icons upper arms + ACE waist (to shorten) + Hot Toys ankles -- All heavily sculpted over with nipples, neck & trap muscles, all new veiny muscular forearms (dat vascularity), face mods, etc. Repainted head to toe.
HEAD: Dr Manhattan with new sculpting & repaint
HANDS: Enterbay Dennis Rodman, fists were turned into gripping hands, repainted
CLOTHES: Loose parts bin gear & some scrap cloth

Thanks for looking! Sorry if it's a little messy. Like I said, the outfit & photos came together in an hour! One day I will show you what the original figure was supposed to be!

Had to come back for a second look! Just an overall amazing figure, especially the paint apps! That face is so realistic it's creepy. Great work!

Great work on the figure and in developing the idea for the Barbarian contest. Was this inspired by an actual character in the Conan stories?

Thanks, Rabid_Ewok! Yes, I really wanted a 12" figure that brought over some of the best qualities from the 6" base body world!
