This Limited Edition helmet is wearable, but does not fit all heads. It is fairly small, so please be advised that it may not fit your big fat head (just kidding. It doesn't fit mine and I'm a little bitter about it). It is mostly intended as a display piece. We recommend adding our small helmet stand or our large helmet stand with this item. This is an official, licensed prop replica from the movie 300.

The Spartan soldiers in Frank Miller's movie "300" wear only one piece of actual armor. Yup. Just a helmet. So you have to imagine that the helmet they wear had to be a pretty important piece of equipment. In fact, the shield they carried and the helmet they wore protected almost all of their body, from ankle to crown,when they were in formation.

This Limited Edition helmet is a stylized (and a little small) version of a Greek Corinthian style helmet. It features the extended cheek guards and prominent nose guard of most greek helmets, but it has an artistic style to it. This style comes from Frank Miller and his graphic novel 300. Miller penned the artwork for the series and said he wanted the soldiers and their uniforms to flow. He added that initially he drew the Spartans wearing full Hoplite armor, but wasn't happy with how bulky and inhuman they looked. So, he stripped them down to a cape, loin cloth, shield and helmet.

This officially licensed helmet is sculpted from a type of fiberglass which was painstakingly painted and weathered to mimic battered bronze. It's a little bit small, but can be worn if you don't have a large head. It makes a great combo with the licensed Spartan Shield and Spartan Sword.
