EARLY LOOK: Xesray Combatants Fight for Glory Wave 5: Centurion, Signifer, & Infantry from 5KToys

[@johnpuglio1385]

Great review as always! Marcus is not injured, the vine cane was a symbol of his rank as a centurion. They would use it to discipline the legionaries. There is a story of a centurion who was nick-named “Give me Another” because he constantly broke his cane over the back of a recruit.

[@DorkLair]

Ha! Nice! I had a feeling there might be more to it than just a walking cane. Thanks for the info!

[@dmaa88]

Ah! Is that where the swagger stick comes from? Roman armed forces? Well, then again, what military custom doesn't come from the Romans, right?

[@savingthewow5792]

The centurion isn't injured. The stick is a vine stick that Centurion's carried and used to discipline legionaries. There was a Centurion whose nick name in latin translated roughly to "bring me another" because he had a reputation for breaking his stick while disciplining troops and would shout bring me another.

[@DorkLair]

Yeah I know, another commenter covered that last week, interesting stuff.

[@savingthewow5792]

Gotcha. Sorry I'm a big Roman history fan so any chance to use all the useless Roman knowledge that's in my head I take. Great review!@@DorkLair

[@bronxrob1552]

Marcus carries the vine stick used for dicipline and motivation. It is not because hes injured.

[@DorkLair]

Yeah I know, check the other comments.

[@magdalo4473]

Just received my set today. Awesome set, hopefully they will expand the line.

[@RickOoi1971]

Super sculpt details and paint jobs are what I love about Xesray. Owned everything except the female gladiators.

[@glennjthompson332]

Hopefully for a solid final product for next year!😏 History of the centurion, is more looks of the Roman empire.🤨

[@traviswilcox3472]

Your channel may be smaller than some others but your reviews are excellent, 5K Toys are wise for allowing you to showcase these figures ;)

[@DorkLair]

Thank you so much Travis!

[@KhanhTran-yp3ds]

Looking forward to this wave and playing around with it! Great potential and high expectations 🎉

[@TheHenk1987]

Hope these will come soon !

[@MiddleAgedGuy73]

5ktoys is awesome, love getting figures from there.

[@DorkLair]

I've always had a great experience with them too.

[@whitefriarnerd]

My biggest problem with these was the faceplate on the basic legionary, knowing that its removable has sold me on getting a few. Though I'd prefer more gladiators, I'm more into that as a theme.

[@maxhamann8739]

love them, unfortunately the line is hard to get in europe

[@DorkLair]

Ah bummer. Hopefully they expand their reach some more as they grow.

[@maxhamann8739]

@@DorkLair would be great, i live pretty close to some roman ruins and a reconstructed roman fort, would be a great location for photos

[@homersimpson5501]

So glad this was in my recomendad, I had no idea about these figures

[@DorkLair]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@EricCKeys]

These look pretty damn cool. Great review.

[@DorkLair]

Thank you!

[@legowiccan]

man I can’t wait to see the big guys

[@DorkLair]

SOON!

[@CopacabanaDisc]

these are so cool!

[@alexpontbriand3009]

Does the crest of the centurion's helmet rotate? I get that the way they have it is accurate, but I always thought the other direction looked way cooler. Great review!

[@PERFECTDARK10]

These are 🔥

[@josuejunior2373]

My friend, the manica lorica out from the arm!?

[@LuisReyes-st6jx]

I like your review, about as thorough as you can get, thank you. I live in Bogotá, Colombia, and there's absolutely no way I can get these figures here because no toy shop has them in this country and hardly anyone here has this kind of hobby. Could you suggest how I can possibly get these roman figures? I haven't seen them in Amazon. Thanks again.

[@DorkLair]

I don't think these will be available on Amazon, Big Bad Toy Store might ship to Colombia. You could check there, but these haven't released yet so they aren't in stock, just pre-order.

[@LuisReyes-st6jx]

@@DorkLair Okay, thanks for tip. I'll give it a shot.

[@stevewegling8070]

Bill, great attention to detail from 5k toys. As the sating goes how often do you think of the Roman empire 😉✌️

[@DorkLair]

I'm not familiar with that saying, but I'd say at least once a week, if not more.

[@smallvillefan72]

I honestly only care about the female figures from this company. Hope they make more soon.

[@DorkLair]

I'm sure they will. For me it's the minotaurs, those things rock.
