A must in any Action Figure collection...

Frank Miller's 300 Action Figures bring history and legend to life. It is spring, 480 BC Persian King Xerxes, continuing his fathers, Darius, master plan to conquer the Hellenic city-states, arrives in Hellas.

In Sparta, King Leonidas consults the local oracle, which gives two options: either a spartan king will have to be sacrificed or Sparta will be burned to the ground. A small force thus left Sparta to block  Xerxes' way at the Thermopylae passage. This passage was at that time 12 meters wide.The great historian Herodotus, possibly exaggerating, states that there were 1700000 Persians against 7000 Hellenic hoplites and slaves, including the300 men of the Spartan king elite guard.
