Ok, so the story on these things is that they're pretty damn rare due to production problems. They were supposed to be painted bronze, but the paint on most of them was flaking terribly, so most of them were released unpainted.

Awhile ago I acquired some of the pieces that had been rejected due to flaking paint and never sold at retail. It was my intention to strip the paint and give it a go to try painting them into color (or more probably, hiring someone to do it for me), which is why there are larger areas of white in places.

Well, times change and it's best if I part with these. There are three bust pieces and two bases. The extra scabbard pieces are not included, but you really can't tell it's missing just looking at the front (and if it bothers you, you could probably fashion your own pretty easily). And it'd probably be pretty easy to make some sort of base for the Leo that doesn't have one.

Not really sure what to ask for these given their condition so I'll take offers. However, the production run on these was REALLY small, so while I'd really like to sell these, I'm not desperate enough to virtually give them away. So please, serious offers only. These will take a bit of work, but I expect they can be cleaned up and looking awesome with some time.

Thanks!
