Thanks FlyXwire,
I had read that these were being marketed. I suspect that the target customers are the folk who were into reading the comic book version of the story.
I may well end up buying the figure of Leonidas, my boyhood hero ( until I read about the true nature of the Spartan Male society). Leonidas was a true hero, ( despite what late night talk shows will now reveal about him ) and the stand of the 300 draws out even a sneaking respect from the most cynical of men.

Very PC MoMo
