Heavy Metal’s Taarna as an exquisite model

Taarna first appeared in 1981 In the famous French sci-fantasy production Heavy Metal. She is the last of the Taarak, brave warriors, and is equipped with a deadly gold sword.

Despite her age Taarna remains a fan favourite. I’m still fond of this mashup of her riding Toothless rather than her usual pterodactyl-bird mount.

I think Sideshow’s limited edition Taarna is incredible but, yeah, not all that much in the way of clothes. She would certainly be a statement piece to have on your coffee table. Her expression, though, is pure kick-ass.

Tempted?

The model is expected to ship in December of this year. The artists are Steve Schumacher, Sandy Shaffer, Adam Smith, Kat Sapene, Brenton Henriques and Chadwick Andersen. She’ll weigh 6.35kgs and is 577.85mm tall. More details over at Sideshow’s catalog page.
