Very nice.
It captures the essence of ERB's green Martians perfectly.
I second the hope to see more of them.
Thanks!

Dead sexy!  I want a whole bunch of them.  Something odd about the feet, though... can't quite articulate it, but they don't look quite right to me.

Well they do look a bit "Penisy"  ;)

Tharks don't tend to be pictured with a "Dogleg" Regardless I love the figure and hope it is a herald of things to come. I'd really like to see a small group of Panthans. Nobody does a decent sculpt of the Red Martians in 28mm.

I think it's more the contrast with the upper leg and lower, for me. Merest quibble, mind you. My parsimonious nature (I really don't buy that many figs) is starting to succumb to the beauty of this line!

And, yes, I'm really kicking myself for not buying some painted when I had the chance...

That's gotta be it, the digitigrade legs.

It still looks awesome.

And I'll second the recommendation for Bronze Age miniatures - I've got a few of his figures, and they're excellent, they look just right (as far as I'm concerned) for Red Martians.  Although Tin Man's character figures look pretty great, too.
