300 Figure from NECA
300 is the fuggen most ball blistering movie ever, so it’s only fitting that the Spartan king from that film got some loving. King Leonides is coming to life in toy form from the fine folks at NECA. In the tradition of NECA posting a picture on their MySpace page and me posting it here so you don’t have to get a MySpace account to look at it, check this out:

If you’re a male and you don’t like 300, then you need to get your testicles examined by a health-care professional. 300 is to kickassery what Hairspray is to fat transvestites.
King Leonidas redefines the word badass. He’s so badass that he’s badass to the max by a factor of ten times a bigfoot jumping a motorcycle over sixteen flaming school buses. NECA’s figure does a pretty good job of representing his badassedness in this 12 inch tall visage. As if he already wasn’t cool enough, NECA slapped some electronics in him so he can say four phrases from the film. Righteous.
If NECA hasn’t programed him yet, here’s my suggestions for what Leonidas should say:
1. Let’s go kill some mutant giants, yo!
2. Maybe I shouldn’t have trusted the ugly hunchback who cursed my name with the one weakness in our battle plan.
3. Today we fight for Sparta. Today we fight for nipples!
4. I’m totally killing all your dudes in slow motion.

“I’m totally killing all your dudes in slow motion.” Oh, yeah.
That is pretty sweet.
Gettin’ one of those would make me happier than a blind man judging a wet tshirt contest…

I’m glad an art historians finely trained eye can detect pure bad ass when he sees it.
