Yeah, I've just seen it recently also. It's popped up in all the local TRU's
here in SoFla (South Florida). I come across six TRU's on a regular basis while
I'm working and they all got it just this week...and...(sobbing bitterly)... I
have no money right now!! I was gonna put about 40 of 'em on the CC and then
came to my senses.
How are most people using this fig, as a mounted soldier or as a foot soldier?
Sword, spear or axe? I'm undecided, I think they would look great on horses but
I'm not sure if the helmet is appropriate. Was this helmet for a particular
form of combat/usage or is the rim for looks and not function?
