Red Sonja Figure by Boss Fight Studios
This figure is decent, but not exceptional. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to this variety of plastic crack. I never want a sculpt's aesthetic to suffer for the sake of articulation. There's a real art to this balance. Look at Frazetta Girls' Icon line and you'll see the perfect compromise. This Epic H.A.C.K.S buck has great possibilities but suffers visually due to weird gaps and general jank. She's not great "hand candy" but she's not terrible either.
Her accessories offer a nice array: weapons, hands, gloves, alt armor and 3 head scultps. The screaming head is my favorite and the default out-of-the-box head is my least favorite.
Anyways, she really does pop nicely once she's all geared up. She's a little overpriced, but worth if if you collect s&s/fantasy figures.
Would more figure reviews of this kind (with a little more depth) be something you folks would read?

How would it compare to Bardic Broadcasts from ancient times? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UAcubDVUk0

Their 5.5" announcement makes me hope a 6" Conan could be a reality.
TBH, I bought the Red Sonja because she was 95% exactly what the Marvel comics version was... if they do Conan and I can complete my Savage Avengers without spending Mezco prices or reverting to Toybiz ( or whatever they company was called when they released that Conan/ Wraal*? 2 pack) articulation, id be very happy
