The hero of Robert Howard's pulp adventure books seemed unlikely for the Mego treatment but Marvel editor Roy Thomas had translated Concan into a comic superstar in the seventies.

Despite his not being a Superhero (actually he was more an anti hero) Conan made his debut in the Mego 1976 WGSH lineup, alongside Thor and the Fantastic Four.

The figure, much like a lot of Mego's mid-seventies output, is a work of art. Conan not only has a great angry head sculpt but he's loaded with accesories. The figure came with golden bracelets, boots, a belt with sheath, sword, battle Axe and a gold belt.

Packaging

The standard Conan window box features the artwork of Barry Windsor Smith. The box is the least expensive was to find a packaged Conan.

Conan on the 1979 Card is more difficult to find. As can be seen the figure has a variation in hair and the material used to make his shorts. (courtesy of Tom)

Despite his presence in the Mego WGSH line for a few years, Conan never appeared in any other Mego Superhero toy lines.
