Dejah Thoris (Figure)

This week's figure tribute is dedicated to the sexy Princess of Mars Dejah Thoris. ^_^

(Various Webfinds of this character and figures. This post also includes artwork from J. Scott Campbell)

I do want to give Dejah Thoris an actual tribute in the future because she's really a cool character and the comics involving her depict her barefoot a lot.  For those not familiar with this woman. Dejah Thoris is a martian princess from the series Warlords of Mars. She is married to the protagonist of the series John Carter. Warlords of Mars was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs who is more famous for creating the character Tarzan. Like with Tarzan's, the Warlords of Mars series have been adapted to comic books and films. 

There are actually two figures in this set both of which are from the Women of Dynamite series (a group of models that showcase women from Dynamite comic books i.e. Red Sonja, Jungle Girl, Vampirella etc. The first one has Dejah wielding a sword in a commanding pose. The pedestal she is standing on gives a great sense of the Martian environment that she lives in. We see the harsh desert surroundings, the skull of an alien race and a lizard lie at her bare feet. This model was based on Artwork from Frank Cho and sculpted by artist Jason Smith.

The second model is a diorama statue of Dejah showing in control of a fierce wildcat that she tamed.  :-) It is inspired by Artwork from J. Scott Campbell and sculpted by Steve Kiwis. ^_^
