Hot Toys- 300 - King Leonidas spec and pics

[darkknight]

Its an awesome figure and make it even more awesome at the sale price but he does not fit in my collection ATM. Another thing that is holding me back on ordering is all the PO I have.

 

[Nitro]

I agree. I'm under the same boat...although I was supposed to get this fig from gohastings from the last sale (that was supposed to be $102 shipped). Unfortunately they f'ed up my address (mismatching my billing and shipping address) and shipped it to another town. I contacted gohastings mid-to-late last month and they didn't have Leo in stock. They righted the wrong by at least refunding me my money back.

I was tempted trying for Leo again...however I couldn't say no to the HT Iron Man BD at the price they were offering. It'll look better on display than Leo since I can set it up with my Mech Tony Stark plus I wouldn't have to spend $200+ on ebay.

Same with you folks ^^. Too many PO and Leonidas doesn't really match my collection (although I do have a HT Kamui, but he was even cheaper than Leo was).

 

[HollandX]

And it's gone!!! !!!

he's back in stock!

 

[gunm]

Argh. Soooo tempting...

Edit: Curses, foiled by a good deal--I finally decided to bite on this while it was still showing "In Stock".

Hopefully the inventory is accurate.

Hopefully I can figure out a way to pay for these.

Is your flash player up to date? I had trouble with the site a while back and it was due to an older flash player version.

yes.....You have to use a hair dryer to loosen up the neck so it will come off easier and then use the hair dryer again to put the new head back on...

I thought so to as that's how I first did it. Then after hearing about the cape staining the body I took it back off. Went down to my mancave to watch tv one night and the cape was back on. Asked my stepdaughter about it. She put it back on. I asked how and she said she just slipped it over his head. Which is what I did when I took the cape back off. Don't know if this works for all of them though.

i did t-800 arnie's shirt that way without removing the head, i was hoping the same could be done with leonidas,
i have ordered an extra cape for leo, and plan to wash it a few times ,to get rid of any excess dye, andput it on leo, thus leaving his original cape untouched ,sealed in thebox

one more question, what is the best way ,to put the shield onto the hand?

I did it this way:

levered each end of the shield grab handle into the fist; slid the shield's sleeve over the forearm; popped the wrist peg into the arm.

This is shown in the instructions that were supposed to come in the box but somehow I didn't get. Thanks to Alex for posting them on his Toyhaven blog:

Thanks, I left the website up this morning and Flash must have updated, because the browsing is working now.

my rambo 3 was made in 2007, i have had no problems with him so far,
he still looks new , no tears, rips , at all, but i have heard some horror stories about the rambo 2 rubber body. so i'm hoping ht took careof any defects since then. on all the new rubber bodies. fingers crossed.
