Thanks for sharing! I saw this on bbicn.com recently. I’m pretty sure it is supposed to represent Stephen Boyd as the tribune Messala in the 1959 film version of Ben-Hur (with Charlton Heston).

That’s what I thought too. If his hair was darker, it would be pretty good for that.

Thanks for that, was realy curious to know who the headsculpt is based on

Admitedly Stephen Boyd and the movie are a bit before my time, but the portrait has such an archetypal "old Hollywood" look to it that i find interesting.

It is very pretty but I prefer proper Romans rather than Hollywood ones.

Wow! I can imagine Hannibal saying : "Gee Maw, ain't he purrrty!"

This gent would brighten up even the dreariest of battlefields. I wonder if he has silver panties? Smile

I was thinking more along the lines of Burt Lancaster, but you guys are probably correct. I can't quite place the "Dato" reference, and a quick search turned up nothing very informative. I do like this set. There is some debate to what extent there was such a thing as parade armor, but if there was, this would be it -- or at least the general feel of it.

It is possible that this might be an imagined parade armour for an emperor, but surely not a centurion?

I wonder if the character is from a computer game as it says Single Player in the title? However, it may simply be a translation problem and mean Regular Figure as opposed to the Deluxe Figure variant?

I might get the cuirasse and pteryges for one of my fantasy warriors.

It definitely seems to be based on Stephen Boyd from Ben-Hur — with some minor changes made here and there.

The term confused posters on the Chinese BBICN forum as well, though some of them knew it was a Malaysian title. One of the translations from the site came out as 'knighthood'.

There's a wiki page with this info:

Dato' is the most common title awarded in Malaysia.

...

Dato' may only be conferred by a hereditary royal ruler of one of the nine Malay states. The wife of a hereditary Dato' is addressed by courtesy as To' Puan.

It is a pretty decent rendition of the Hollywood costume and the head sculpt is a good likeness.

Thanks for sharing what you found out, Asta. I suppose it is relevant enough (however remotely) to explain it.

This thing is weird on a few levels.

1) That they were inspired by a 1950s Hollywood-Spaghetti Roman 'epic'.

2) That they weren't inspired enough to make an actual tribute to the tribune, but made various changes.

3) So rather than making a figure from a 1950s film, they made a figure inspired by a 1950s film that would have to be adapted by the customer in order to make him a representation from the film.

All good points. I would have preferred a closer depiction of the actual (still fantasy) costume and a better likeness of Stephen Boyd than this more flowery version. I agree with you that what they have done is weird!

I'm by far no expert in Roman armour, but this doesn't seem too far-fetched for a parade style armour...
I'm actually quite tempted to get it, Ben Hur is a brilliant movie.

Romans never had parade armour. It was a notion invented by the Victorians.

So what do you call armor that is so ornate that it would be completely impractical and/or wasted in battle? Like the Philip II shield from Vergina, with the finely carved/sculpted Herakles etc? Although I suppose maybe it was just a really fancy piece of equipment that may or may not have come into actual use depending on the needs and priorities of the owner.

Armour was not only about protection, it was a useful way of identifying friendly forces or an individual.

I don't know whether parade armour existed or not, but a man like Phillip II might have worn elaborately decorated amour and equipment so that he would stand out on the battlefield.

You've never handled any of these if you think they are impractical in battle. There are plenty of examples of heavily decorated equipment with battle damage. For the ancients, battle WAS parade. The whole point was to get noticed on the battlefield and to intimidate the enemy. Look up the concept of "conspicuous consumption". To gain renown and prestige, you get the most expensive stuff, use it up, throw it away, and get more. They ate meals with gold dust and crushed pearls sprinkled on top. They purchased the most expensive clothing and only wore it once.

Now I’m thinking of that quote from ‘Parade’s End’, ‘there will be no more parades!’. ;p

And welcome, ahbake! Smile I agree, Ben Hur is a classic. One of many I associate with my dad, since it was always a fave of his I used to watch it with him back in the day. :’)

As others have said, it’s an odd figure in certain respects — I kind of wonder if it’s meant to be so overly ostentatious as it’s trying to appeal to the ‘Three Kingdoms’ collectors? Like maybe they looked at the armour in the film and said ‘not fantastical and over-the-top enough, needs more bling’. ;D
