Looking impressice, although very-very historic inaccurated! Except the "Linothorax" cuirass, the "Hoplon" shield (except the SPIKES on the round "ring" - Greeks had a "secret" how they hold the metal on the wooden hull), the oblong plumed helmet and the greaves, the rest are... "Heroic Fantasy", NOT a Historic re-presentation! The sword is... anything but NOT Greek-sword! The rest of the helmets are "looking" like Greek, but they're not! ("Except" maybe of the "Illyrian"..."sort-of" helmet)... The helmet's plumes are in wrong possition (TOO forward!), the full-bronze-cuirass is... "RPG" cuirass, DEFINITELY NOT a Greek "Kodonoschemus" or the typical full-bronze Greek cuirass... The spear's length is TOO small; it looks like a JAVELIN, not a SPEAR! (The Greek spear was about 2.00-2.30m LONG!) The color combination is... "fantastic", not based on pottery-painting... ... Generally, are "looking" good, but they're NOT made CORRECTLY!... Unfortunately... "Lupus"
