Released in the United States on May 5, 2000, Gladiator was a box office success, receiving positive reviews, and was credited with briefly reviving the historical epic. The film was nominated for and won multiple awards, particularly five Academy Awards in the 73rd Academy Awards including Best Picture.
This ACI Toys 1/6th scale Warriors III ACI08 Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius 12-inch figure is definitely worth the 12-year wait. Since the movie came out, a lot of 1/6th collectors have been eager to get their hands on a Russell Crowe as Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius 12-inch figure but none in the market has met the standards required for such a fine figure. Well, that is no longer the case :)
ACI Toys Anniversary Product for 2012 will be this 1/6th scale Warriors III ACI08 Russell Crowe as Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius 12-inch figure as seen in the 2000 epic movie "Gladiator". Russell Crowe was cool as s gladiator for most of the film but as a Roman General, his uniform / outfit and all the gear was pretty AWESOME too and he strikes quite a pose in the Roman General's attire :)
Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is this figure ;p Scroll down to see the pictures in glorious details. I want this NOW haha

ReplyDeleteG'day Alex, Tony here.
ReplyDeleteI like this product, all except the WW2 army boots.
I'm pretty sure the Romans, even the generals, wore sandals (thinking where I can get 1/6 feet&sandals loose....).
hey Tony, let's hope ACI rectifies this before its release
ReplyDeletePre-order is now UP for this figure at http://www.tfh.com.sg/product_details.php?prod_id=3901
ReplyDeleteArmies of the North: Germania
ReplyDeleteThe roman winter campaigns were fought with heavy clothing due to the harsh environment including leather/fur boots, these kind of look like WW II boots.
my god, Tony is so right, check those bad boys boots.
ReplyDeleteI love this figure,it is so cool and I really want to buy it, but his face.....arrgghh. I don´t know.
