King Leonidas figure is ready for a fight

From 300, the manliest of all movies, comes the manliest of all figures--a massive 12" King Leonidas produced by Hot Toys, the same company that produced the uncannily accurate Comedian statue. And indeed, this figure also resembles almost exactly a real-life actor (Gerard Butler), which is not at all an easy task. Leonidas has an astounding 26 points of articulation and about a million awesome features: a real fabric cape, a helmet with "real-like" horsehair crest, a wolf's tooth necklace (also "real-like"), a battle-damaged shield, a sword and scabbard, a spear, several interchangeable hands, and removable broken arrows. So basically, he is awesome.

You guys, I am going to be honest... I have never seen this movie. I know, right? MADNESS. This is the point where you get to go "Madness? This.... is..... SPARTA!" Not to worry, I have seen that clip about a million times. But seriously now, this figure is so badass that I am extremely tempted to go watch 300. It would probably be a lot cheaper than buying Leonidas, as nothing this cool comes cheap. He is set to be released in the first quarter of 2010, so you don't have to wait long to get a mini king of your own!
