I think HaoYu and Coo Toys make some very nice items. They are high quality (real metal oftentimes) and very very detailed. Little things like the string through that metal drinking cup and the rope at the end of the axe are both nice touches. Although I'm not a fan of round stands, that stand is awesome as is the uniform. This is a very nice figure, and what I love most is that did not go cheap on the accessories. I also love how the accessories can be put into the stand and viewed. You managed to pull off displaying everything in a very sensible way. This figure is a winner!!!
This is the only HaoYu Toys figure I have, and I only got it because it is a roman soldier. It is very beautiful and well done. Yeah, Im not a huge fan of these round stands either. Its fine as long as they’re well done and not too wide though. This particular stand looks and feels very cheap to me. The round stands on the Damtoys Assassin’s Creed figures I actually like because they made diorama stands. I think that the stand is just as important as the rest of the accessories, and a nice stand should at least have some details or decorations on it.
Thanks, buddy! Its a really nice figure, and especially for those who collect various historical soldiers. The amount of diecast on this figure and how its used makes it a real quality product as well! A highly recommended figure to all collectors with an interrest in historical soldiers :)
Hello! Nice review! I wonder though, where did you get it? I'm looking on ebay for it but would prefer an european seller/store instead of chinese(from Sweden). Also, are you getting the other figures in the series?
Thanks, dude! I bought mine from the US (bbts.com), but they seem to be sold out/out of stock. Im from Norway myself, and I would prefere EU sellers too. I know there are some, but I don't think that it would get much cheaper than ordering from US stores. I know there is a second version of this figure, with a mohawk on the helmet. I won't be getting that one though. But I am interested in various types of warriors/soldiers, so I might be getting more figures from HaoYuToys/HH Model in the future. If they'll be from this particular series, I don't know. Thanks for checking out the review, buddy! And I highly recommend this figure if you can find it. There should be some sellers offering it on eBay I think, so happy hunting ;)
Yeah, I think this particular one is sold out. There are however several other similar roman soldier figures from Hao Yu Toys though. Check out this link to BBTS. www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?SearchText=Hao+yu+toys
