Damn... I'm feeling the Leonidas bug biting!
Anybody looking to sell one?

Great pics there!

As stated by everyone, great shots Chigger! Love that last shot.

Thanks guys!

I think I was most happy with the 2nd pic. Love the redness of the cape since that's the one color that always stands out in that film.

What an amazing figure!! !

And with Perseus!!

We need more sword and sandel type stuff from Hot Toys. We need a Maximus and a Conan Hot Toys!!

I agree, and as much as the movie sucked, a Troy Achilles figure would be pretty cool!

So I finally took the plunge and bought a Leonidas!
Hopefully he'll be here next. Any recommendations/things to watch out for with this figure?

Thanks!

I've heard the cape can stain the rubber body. A light wash and rinse will get rid of the excess dye, but will also remove the new glossy sheen from it. I bought an extra cape for mine.

I wouldn't pose with very bent arms, at least not for extended periods of time. Puts stress on the rubber and besides this it looks a bit silly because the elbows disappear.

This is one of my favourite figs, so glad I have him.

 

[abake]

Cool, thanks for the tips!

Have had mine in cape since he was released with no staining. It did have some red fuzz from the cape that made it look stained but cleaned right off. I did have a frozen shoulder joint like a few on here, but with patience it can be worked out. A few members sacrificed some shoulders to get us that information. Also the body is painted so be gentle when posing.

Yeah, be gentle about posing and when you touch it, try to have your fingers DRY, I accidentally had a tiny drop of water in my thumb and it rubbed the paint a little bit when I tried to clean it. :/

 

[sky_captain]

Yeah, be careful with the paint on this one. Mine lost some at the elbow on one arm, as well as the chest area. Neither are really noticeable and if anything, look like battle damage, so I'm not worried.

Also, be careful when changing the hands. The wristpegs aren't the standard Hot Toys size, so you're screwed if you break one.

They did include two extra, if you weren't already aware.

Thanks for the advice guys!
