Star Ace Toys has announced new 300 – 1/6 Scale Figures. They will be producing both King Leonidas and Queen Gorgo. Here are details direct from Star Ace:

Star Ace Toys Ltd. is pleased to announce that they will be producing one sixth scale collectible figures from the film “300” from Warner Bros. studios. Based on the classic comic book by Frank Miller, “300” tells the tale of King Leonidas of Sparta, who held off an invading army with only 300 battle-hardened warriors.

Star Ace will produce figures of both King Leonidas, as portrayed by Gerard Butler, and his loyal wife Queen Gorgo, portrayed by Lena Headey. Star Ace one sixth scale collectible figures are produced in exacting detail and feature authentic actor likenesses and cloth costumes, with accessories befitting the characters. Leonidas will feature an all new muscle body designed especially for him. He will also feature two different head sculpts, one with a “screaming” expression. Queen Gorgo will have authentic sewn hair and a screen accurate gown.

With the impressive work that Star Ace does on their Harry Potter and Underworld figures, fans can expect a fantastic set of releases for 300. We will continued to share news as it becomes available.

Leonidas’s name meant “lion-like” and he was one of three sons of King Anaxandridas II. He became one of two Spartan Kings, occupying the throne at the same time in a tense but civil arrangement.

In 480 BC King Xerxes of Persia lead a massive army against the notoriously fractious city-states of Greece. In part it was to avenge his father, the great Darius, whose stinging defeat at Marathon, some ten years earlier, had saved the free world. In part Xerxes wanted to attain one of his father’s goals, an even larger Persian empire.

Ancient reports put Xerxes‘ forces at 1.5 to 2 million people, and with attendants, followers and courtesans, it was stated to have been five million. More modern estimates put it at approaching 500,000.

The council of Sparta, noting past grievances against other Greek cities, refused to release the full army of Sparta until after the completion of an upcoming religious celebration. Knowing that time was short, King Leonidas took his own personal guard of 300 men north to the narrow pass of Thermopylae, where numbers became less important than skill at close combat. The Spartans were joined by 700 Thespians and 900 Helots though these groups reportedly stayed to the rear and engaged only after the Spartans were in battle. The Spartans repelled wave after wave of Persian forces, including Xerxes’s personal guard, the Immortals, over several days of brutal combat.

We have over 40 high resolution images and a full review of King Leonidas from the 300. The figure was supplied by sponsor Entertainment Earth.

What is Boss Fight Studio’s and Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S.?

Highly Articulated – We believe that action figures are meant to be played with. If it doesn’t move, then it’s a statue. That’s why Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. figures are designed with poseability as a priority. Our 4″ base figure features at least 17 points of articulation, all with an excellent range of motion.
