    Great review as always! Marcus is not injured, the vine cane was a symbol of his rank as a centurion. They would use it to discipline the legionaries. There is a story of a centurion who was nick-named “Give me Another” because he constantly broke his cane over the back of a recruit.

      Ha! Nice! I had a feeling there might be more to it than just a walking cane. Thanks for the info!

      Ah! Is that where the swagger stick comes from? Roman armed forces? Well, then again, what military custom doesn't come from the Romans, right?

    The centurion isn't injured. The stick is a vine stick that Centurion's carried and used to discipline legionaries. There was a Centurion whose nick name in latin translated roughly to "bring me another" because he had a reputation for breaking his stick while disciplining troops and would shout bring me another.

    Marcus carries the vine stick used for dicipline and motivation. It is not because hes injured.

    Does the crest of the centurion's helmet rotate? I get that the way they have it is accurate, but I always thought the other direction looked way cooler. Great review!

    My biggest problem with these was the faceplate on the basic legionary, knowing that its removable has sold me on getting a few. Though I'd prefer more gladiators, I'm more into that as a theme.

    Bill, great attention to detail from 5k toys. As the sating goes how often do you think of the Roman empire 😉✌️

    I like your review, about as thorough as you can get, thank you.
    I live in Bogotá, Colombia, and there's absolutely no way I can get these figures here because no toy shop has them in this country and hardly anyone here has this kind of hobby. Could you suggest how I can possibly get these roman figures? I haven't seen them in Amazon. Thanks again.

    • @DorkLair
      @DorkLair  4 месяца назад +1

      I don't think these will be available on Amazon, Big Bad Toy Store might ship to Colombia. You could check there, but these haven't released yet so they aren't in stock, just pre-order.

      I'm sure they will. For me it's the minotaurs, those things rock.
