By 800 BC Greece was undergoing a cultural and military revival, with the evolution of city-states, the most powerful of which were Athens and Sparta. Greater Greece was created, with southern Italy as an important component. This period was followed by an era of great prosperity known as the classical (or golden) age. The Greek Hoplite II makes a great collector's item or kids toy. The Greek Hoplite II is very authentic to what they wore during that period of time. These figures come complete as shown (clothing, armour, weapons, swords, dagger, and shields) unless otherwise specified. The kids toys are 1/6 scale and all have moveable body parts and everything can be taken off or put back on.
