Frazetta Girls are continuing to expand their ICON Collectibles lineup with a new set of 5.5″ Retro figures. This series leans hard into old-school toy nostalgia while pulling directly from Frank Frazetta's legendary fantasy art. Inspired by classic 80s lines, such as Thundercats and Masters of the Universe, these heroes are designed to be bold, bulky, and shelf-friendly, rather than hyper-realistic. These big heroes need big muscles, and Frazetta Girls has delivered with a new first wave featuring Death Dealer, Conan the Barbarian, and John Carter of Mars. John Carter is one of the earliest heroes of science fantasy as he was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs back in 1912, and his legend continues to live on.

John Carter is a former American soldier who is mysteriously transported to Mars, also known as Barsoom. Thanks to the planet's lower gravity, Carter gains incredible strength and agility, saving the people of Mars from aliens, monsters, and much more. Frazetta Girls was sure to capture all of his heroics with this impressive retro-inspired 5.5-inch figure, which comes with a bulky sculpt, a sword with a sheath, and a pistol. He is packaged in his own card back featuring incredible Frank Frazetta artwork, along with a companion trading card. Frazetta Girls will also have an exclusive version of the figure, featuring a different head sculpt. Pre-orders are already live for $38 and $40, with John Carter of Mars set to arrive in May 2026.
