May as well do a mini review of the bootleg version of the ACI legionary by China Toys.
The negatives are mentioned above but there are positives too. The sword and dagger are cast from metal and are decently painted. The scabbards are well made and fit the blades snugly. The javelins have a metal shank and point but a plastic shaft. The shield is fairly well made, the detailing is good, but the painted emblem on the face is sloppy. The helmet is made from plastic but is well detailed, is the right size (would fit even better with a little padding), and has a decent paint job. The clothing - tunic, pants, cloak - is decent. Even if I threw away the armour and belt, I could make a profit by parting the rest out and selling the accessories so it seems a decent buy to me. The figure itself is ok - definitely worth keeping - though you would have to change the feet if sandals don't suit the rest of the outfit. If anyone wants some Roman legionary accessories, this would be a cost-effective way to get some ($108 including shipping).
