Hot Toys Leonidas 300 Review Pt 2

Ok part two as promised. Btw if you missed part one then go check it out first HERE. Let's take a closer look then at some of his outfit and a closer look at the face without his helmet. I have to be honest and say I really can't decide if I prefer him with or without his helmet.

The above and below face is the one I mentioned in the previous part, in the first promo pictures Leonidas only had this face sculpt. Although it's a great likeness to Butler, it's just a tad bland for me. I do like the thoughtfulness in his face but when it comes to expressions it had to be a shouting face or nothing for this figure.

Ironically the Spartan warrior is always portrayed in this way or very similiar through movies and various media, however as historians have shown, Spartan warriors would more often than not wear full breast armour. They were tough no doubt, but not stupid!

His spear is made from a very light wood and looks great. I personally prefer this look to when he is holding his sword.

Another great piece of detail is the wolf tooth necklace that he comes with.

The shin guards are removable and just highlight the attention this figure has received from Hot Toys. A lesser company would have just sculped the legs as one piece or something cost cutting like that. The shin guards are held in place by tiny leather ties that are at the back of the piece of armour.

His little plaited tail at the back is sculped plastic rather than fake hair. Probably a wise choice, it would have looked out of place compared to the rest of the head.

As with the shin guards, his wrist guards are removable. It's also worth pointing out how well the latex skin works, it folds pretty realistically and gives the impression of real skin.

Another arty shot.

His scabbard is made from a fake leather material and has tiny stitching all the way around. His sword slips into it without any hassle. Very well done.

Here's the set laid out, Different head, spare palms, a spear, removable helmet. If you you collect 1/6 figures I really can't recommend Leonidas enough. Well worth the spend.

Ha think this is the first figure I own that has a beard, wahey!
