ACI Toys- Gladiator: Flamma (secutor) pics

[wookster]

I just did a search as I thought there was a thread about this, I couldn't find one so decided to stick a few pics here.
I've just finished the review and I absolutely love it!

Great new muscle body, solid paint, well finished and a reasonable price.
What do you think?

OK, so gladiators don't use guns, but he has a handy gun hand anyway-

I remember Toy Haven putting pictures up of this on his blog. Looks like quite an impressive figure, not something I'd buy because I only buy movie related figures but still a nice figure.

There's a thread in the military/history section, but it's nice to see your review.

 

[wookster]

Ooooooops!
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully this might bring the figure to the attention of folks who dont tend to frequent that section, but I'll add the pics to that thread anyway.

Feel free to close this down if its surplus to requirements.

i was scrolling down thru the pics and then saw the last one..........i wasn't expecting that, damn near spit out my drink....

nice looking figure overall. and even though it's a small detail, i am impressed that they took the time to make the handle on the shield look like wood.

It's a great figure

But all I wanted was the body so for a custom figure....

LOL, that was funny. I have mine on preorder still, can't wait to get it. I also think that Kaustic-Plastik (formerly Twisting Toyz) muscle body will be great:

They also are making a their version of the same gladiator:

YAY for unlicensed manufacturers, HT is overrated IMO.

 

[wookster]

That looks great, would make a great companion piece. Need a proper secutor helmet made as both have murmillos, but I can live with it.

"Joey. . . do you like movies about gladiators?"

 

[Cheungkinmen]

The armor on the Kaustic-Plastik figure has a more detail, specially in the shin guards, but I think ACI's muscle body is still better. Either way, it's good to see more muscles bodies available.

Don't want to derail this thread, but it's awesome how the ACI body looks in this pic by FENG:

Cheers for that pic, I'm gonna quote it in the 'military thread' hope that's OK with you.

Height comp shots as requested in the military thread-

 

[samueljd]

So what do you think about the new EnterBay body Wookster? It actually looks pretty good and proportional.

 

[wookster]

It's excellent, apart from the neck hole being a tad tight (limits the necks range of looking up, down and side to side).
I reviewed it HERE

In the body comparison pics, the RM4 looks about the same height as a Truetype body. Did you do the ankle mod on the body or is the height the actual out of box size?

That's straight from the box. I believe the Matt Damon one is taller. Probably designed for Leon as Reno is 6'2".

Thanks, the Damon one is the one I'd seen the tall comparisons of. I thought both the Damon and the new one were the same except with different heads.
