At last, golden scale and more sophisticated pattern to be seen on Greek Hoplites.

Way oversized helmets?

:agree

ACI should have the helmet to the correct scale but have a second smaller, less detailed head for when the figure's wearing it.

Apart from that the figures look good

I really wish ACI would update the helms to Phrygian or alternate, we already had the Corinthian and they were oversize last time too. Still, I like the linothorax so I'll no doubt pick one up.

I'd be all over these but the helmet size ruins it for me. I really like everything else.

My question is: will it be the same head sculpt as was used on all the other Hoplites ACI made? Would like to see a new sculpt (preferably bearded, which would be more historically accurate).

Are those patterns and colors historically accurate???

 

[masamune]

they should sell those as accessory kits. for those who do not want to use their body.

 

[CalvinLo]

From what I have learnt, they will be accessories set, everything except head, body and spear... limited release may be.

Look similar to these concepts, illustrations and miniatures

Looking forward to adding a couple to my collection.

I don't know if they're an exact match and we may never really know unless some painted frescos or freezes etc.. have survived but the marble statues that you often think of as just plain stone were actually garishly painted (discovered years back with early spectro-analysis) and their eyes even contained bright stones so it would follow that their uniforms would be brightly coloured as well, also for identification in battle of course.

OOOH! Do I see Commodus from Gladiator? On the right in white.

 

[abake]

Yes, you do.

"I search the faces of the gods... for ways to please you, to make you proud. One kind word, one full hug... where you pressed me to your chest and held me tight. Would have been like the sun on my heart for a thousand years. What is it in me that you hate so much?"

 

[abake]

That scene is heart breaking.
