300 Action Figures
I have been a fan of the “300″ story since I was a kid. Before Frank Miller’s award winning comic book series titled 300, there was 300 Spartans, a movie directed by Rudolph Mate and released in 1962. 300 Spartans was my first introduction to the story but it’s an ancient legend about 300 Spartan warriors that hold off an invading army of Persians that are more than 20 times their size.
Frank Miller did an amazing job with his Eisner award winning take on this story with the comic book series that was simply named, 300. The series is now collected in a hard cover book and their is an upcoming movie based on it coming to theatres everywhere on March 9th.
What more can a fan of the story ask for? Well, if you are an action figure collector like me, you want toys, toys and more toys from this epic tale. NECA’s first series of 300 action figures are set to be released in early February and from the pictures we have seen, they look pretty impressive. They are based on the movie and the first series includes King Leonidas, Queen Gorgo, Immortal and Ephialtes. Each one is packaged with accessories from the movie. The suggested retail price is $14.99 but they are available at YouBuyNow.com for $12.99
Along with the action figures, NECA is releasing a bunch of other collectibles for the movie including lunchboxes, lighters, prop replica’s, wall hanging’s, a flask and more. We aren’t carrying the bulk of these items at YouBuyNow.com but they are available at eMerchandise.com at fairly good prices.
