5.5" Retro action figures coming Fall 2025. First three are Conan, Death Dealer and John Carter of Mars. These are the best grabs I could get from the promotional e-mail's animated GIF.

Personally not a fan of this style, so will be skipping, but glad to see them expanding.
 
I’d like to see how they handle the female characters. Depending on price, I wouldn’t mind having them to supplement MotU… however, my original vintage collection ain’t up to snuff for display anymore. I’d probably only display these with reissues like the upcoming He-Man/Skeletor 2pk.
 
I’m totally a loose collector (like 100%), but if I do end up getting these I think I’ll display them unopened.
 
I hate to say it, but MOTU Oriigns spoiled me--I want knee and elbow articulation in this style even though I grew up with the less articulated kind.
 
These are neat and nostalgic, but I just cant fall down the rabbit hole of the motu style figures personally. I feel like every company is jumping on board with this because they're easily engineered & produced. Similar to the 4" retro style figures, and I've already fallen down that rabbit hole lol.
 
Yeah, I would have loved this line when I was a kid, but with all the cool, ultra-detailed and articulated Conan offerings these days, I'm not tempted in the least.

What I AM tempted by is that Battle of the Blackstone Conan that Heroic Signatures is doing. Watched Robo's preview video today and...hoo boy...I'm gonna have to get that sucker!

I just saw that video too. So tempting. So many Conan options now!
 
Finally getting some Cimmerian love! We always had Conan figures here and there, from Mego to McFarlane, but nothing like the quality we're getting now. Mezco, Frazetta Girls, Savage Crucible, and now this Heroic Signatures? All really great stuff, finally!

Ditto. I preordered the Boss Fight retro Conan figures because they're using the Origins style articulation. These are an easy pass. I get why people may like them, but I've always been an articulation junky.
 
Damn. I think I'm going to have to get these. They look great and would look so cool with my MOTU figures, be it vintage or Origins.

Has it said anywhere what kind of price point these would have? Or does anyone have an educated guess? We talking $29.99 a figure or more?

That's where I'm at. I don't understand the ReAction figures or the 5.5 retro figures from the various companies. I don't get why we want to go backwards to, quite honestly, some of the -worst- action figures (functionally/aesthetically) in the history of toys. Same for Emiliano's FORMO line of action figures -- if those were done Origins-style, I'd probably own them all. But he loves the actual vintage MOTU style of figure so.. I own none.
 
Yeah, and Origins aren't mind-blowing engineering either - they add JUST ENOUGH to be a lot of fun to pose versus the old school stuff.
