I just took down my ROTC figures to put up the Conan figures(no new shelf yet so I can keep em both on display) and I discovered that the just don't display well. Look at Monsters 3.

They fill the space well. They don't look cramped, but the shelf doesn't look like it's missing something. now look at Conan.

They don't fill the space at all. If I line them up so they are easily seen, it leaves a lot of empty space behind them. But if I offset them Like I do with all my other shelves they either look way to cramped or too spread out.And as of right now there are no other lines to display them with. I guess I'll just have to wait till Conan 2 comes out to display Conan properly.

It's all the other accessories and bases that the Monsters line has that makes it look more complete than the COnan ones...

You're right, they do look a little "alone". If the dragon was a little biger I'm sure it would help a lot. He's way too little for my taste.

That's no dragon... It's a damn lizard. She might as well sheath the sword and just kick the thing right in the face.

Just had an idea, can you imagine if the Dragon line mcfarlane is coming up with is all the same size as this... doh [img]eek.gif[/img]

Well considering that 4 of the 5 humans have at least one arm behind their backs...there just isn't much variety in their poses. The dragon's size disappoints me.

Well, one of the things that's really cool about this set, is that you don't have to keep them displayed alone if you don't want to. They mix well with a lot of fantasy warrior figures [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I like a little space between my figures. I think the way you have them displayed looks really good. Not sure about the muli-colored VW - but it looks good! [img]wink.gif[/img]

I like the VW..It's kinda perverse.

I saw all of those figs the other day at Gamestop. It's the first McToys line in a looooooong time that I just don't have any interest in.

No kidding. I haven't seen the dragon in person yet, but from Oce's pics, it's much smaller than I thought it'd be. I was expecting a big dragon that would rear over the human figs, looking all big and intimidating.
