King Leonidas Action Figures from Sideshow Collectibles

If anyone's got $150 to spare for Christmas, these are pretty cool:

King Leonidas Action Figure

Wow those are nice, and looks like they are sold out. The other two are almost $300.00 each.

$300...get it? "300"? Ok, I'll skeedaddle now.

i would love one of those, but sadly i don't have $5 to spend...much less $300!!

Dang....that IS a good likeness of Gerard Butler.

Wowee. I could have my own 12" Spartan. Hehehehehe

Cool stuff. Nice collectible. If I only had the $$.

Why don't they just commission a Gerard Butler doll....every fan would have one, you know?

Interchangeable leather jackets and v-neck sweaters. Oh...and cock hats. And like the Ken doll had at one time, a marker to draw on the scruff (to be wiped off when you want the clean-shaven look).

He could come with a Gerry dreamhouse, or rather, a nightclub backdrop.

That would sell millions! (Ok, thousands)

Most doll loving fans play with Andre'. There are groups on sites that get together and make clothes for their dolls.

I was a doll collector before I lost my job. I have a few different 'action figures' of Leo.

I have one, in a box, autographed by G, won at a convention. It's staying in the box until one day, when I decide to sell it.

Actually, the action figures that were initially released from Neca (sanctioned by Warner Bros), that were the 7 inch figures were the most realistic looking ones...I have all three of the ones issued, Leonidas, Queen Gorgo and Ephialtes. Leonidas looked EXACTLY like Gerry, and came dressed in the leather codpiece (very realistic), red cape, arm guards, leg guards, sandals, helmet with black crest, shiield and sword. It had an interchangable head, one with the helmet, one without. All of his scars are there, his muscles are accurate, and his 12 pack abs are clearly defined. But his face and hair are pure Gerry as Leonidas. These figures were only $14.98 each, very affodable. I have mine in their original packaging (as I do my Andre Marek doll), never to be opened, for display only. But the likeness is incredible. I don't know if these figures are still available through Neca, but they might be. Might be worth checking anyway.

This is the one I have...

They are $17.98 now, was $24.98 (when I got mine through Neca, they were only $14.95, but that was when 300 came out. Anyway, they have added another one along with Leonidas, Gorgo and Ephialtes, they now have the Immortal figure as well. I think you can get all four together for around $60.00, which would be a bargain. These were the first figures issued after the movie, and are sanctioned and endorsed by Warner Bros, so they are accurate in their composition. And affordable as well.
