Again, if this is the same as China Toys, the main value of these sets is going to be in providing pieces for kitbashes. The weakest points tended to be the bodies and heads; these seem to have better heads. The pseudo-Corinthian helmet looks atrocious to me, however.

The helmet is kinda Greek but it is pretty bad. The cuirass is Roman, not Greek, and it is too long. Sandals are Roman, not Greek. Hoplite spear heads were more leaf shaped. We think that ptyruges were textile, not leather, but there isn't a lot of evidence either way. The only thing that is reasonably accurate is the sword.

Trivia: spear shafts were tapered - thinner at the head and thicker at the butt. It shifts the center of balance so that the wielder can hold it further back.

The head sculpts on these sort of bother me. It’s like Waylon Jennings was transported to the past (maybe this is the hillbilly of Ancient Greece?)

LOL. Ironically, that is plausible enough for a Greek.

Looks like a knock-off of the ACI figures.

The overall production of this looks to be on the cheaper side for me. I'm no expert, but the shape of the helmet looks weird to me, maybe oversized as well.
