I've been looking forward to these for a long time. I picked up the Immortal plastics and was severely disappointed.

Indeed.
But beware: 1) they are later hoplites, so don't match 100% with Ex-Immortal's, and 2) Victrix models come in many many parts, so can be time consuming to put up an army.
That said they look way better than those seen before (not to mention WF).

They look lovely. But why disappointed with the Immortal/Warlord ones? I haven't got them but they look fine to me.

they look lovely indeed! I very like the spartans!!

But what's wrong with the immortal ones? I really haven't seen them yet, though.

Well personally, I think their legs are too short and the poses are a bit boring and lacking in variation.

I've been waiting for these Victrix Greeks, because they look great  :-*

Nice figures and unlike their Napoleonic figures, they don't seem to suffer from the long torso, short legs syndrome ;)

Not too bad really, but these are superb so will be getting a box!

Just too slim....probably more anatomically accurate than a lot of 28mm but detailing was soft for me and I prefer the exagerrated sculpts.
