Well was blown away by the film. Bought the NECA 12", made a couple of 4" Spartans too.
Then HOT TOYS did their Leonidas and a beauty it is BUT scary priced LOL

So what does a customiser do, improvise!

Went and got myself one of the ACI Gladiator figures.

Took my NECA Leonidas and dremelled the forearms and shins for the armour.
Stripped the belt/scabbard off the NECA figure. Also removed the helmet from the head so it can be held as a piece of armour.

Sculpted a Wolf's Tooth for the necklass and sculpted the "shield" cloak clasp.

With leather I made the Pants and also sandals (worth while process), along with the shoulder harness.

Found an old top which was close to the red of the cloak and made my own cloth cloak. Then battle worn and weathered it.

Repainted all the armour, weapons that came with the NECA Leonidas to make it look accurate and more battle worn.

So this cost a LOT less than a HOT TOYS but still as effective I think.
