Why?
HCG uses polystone. It seems to be much heavier than resin as it feels as heavy as stone.

Saw this statue at my LCS. I put it on layaway with a $100 down (its going for $400). Should have it in 4-6 weeks. Couldnt buy it outright since i just got Captain America movie PF and Skaar PF. Pretty psyched as its an aweaome statue and my first ARH.

I got the Exclusive from Sideshow when it came out. You won't be disappointed. It's a really nice piece.

$400 for Leo?
I was not aware how rare this statue is now!
Congrats to the lucky few!

I thought $400 was a good deal. Loved how I can remove the cape, helmet, breastplate, spear etc...

Any plans for a Joan of Arc? Or as i prefer to call her in her French name Jeanne D'Arc. I think my wife would dig that.

I payed off mine on Tuesday. Great Statue. He is occupying a whole slot in a Besta for me.

Hated the packaging though. That styrofoam sucked big time. Glad to hear that's changing for ARH.

Considering buying an Athena now.

They're both awesome. Love the PF, it captures the spirit fo the movie very well, but the other one just looks so primal. Would be a hard choice if you only wanted to stick with one.

I have both the Sideshow Leonidas PF and the ARH Leonidas. And I actually like the ARH Leonidas better. Mine was displayed without the breastplates. This is an awesome figure.

The Spear is so huge that Leonidas has to occupy a whole Besta Slot on his own. Great dynamic pose.
