From Toy News Daily: Prepare for Battle, A New Wave of Combatant Action Figures are Headed to The Colosseum
In Toy News: XesRay Studios have launched Wave 4 of their sold-out series of Combatant Action Figures.
The full weight of the Roman Empire is back like never before with these massive 9-inch “Brothers of Slaughterhouse” figures. This will be the fourth wave of the Combatants series of action figures. Now entering the arena and toy shelves everywhere are “Kasos” and “Thales.” These larger than life beasts are soon to emerge from the dungeons deep below the Colosseum and are headed into battle. Coming in at 9-inches these monsters will tower over your other 1/12 scale figures, they are certainly a force to be reckoned with. Hold on tight as Toy News Daily walks you through the lore, the mythos, the legends that are The Combatants.
The Fight for Glory
According to the mythos inscribed on the Colosseum walls:
“When cheers sounded in the air, coins fell as rain and blood splashed on the ground, mankind’s cruel nature was exposed in the arena. It was an age of craze and legends. Someone rose and someone fell, which lead to an endless loop.
Then an unprecedented game was held, funded by the senate, provided security by the praetorian guards. It was supported by the lanistas in the cities. They brought the best gladiators into this carnival in order to gain gold and glory.
However, something was out of the ordinary. No one ever noticed that the cursed beasts and monsters had been placed in the dungeon of the Colosseum. When those dangerous things were released, a grand game would inevitably result in a series of bloody killings…“
Let Toy News Daily take you back to recap the first waves and check out what’s to come.
Wave 1:
The first wave of brutish fighters were three in total:
First there was Medocus “The Reaper” a Thracian from Neapolis.
Then came the Carthage fighter, Khnuba “The Hyaena” from Neapolis.
Followed by the Germanic Brute, Branthoc “The Devilfish” from Pompeii
Wave 2:
As weapons clashed and blood and dust rained down, the crowds of the Colosseum cheered for more, they demanded another wave. And so a second wave of fighters would soon join the battle.
Soon to enter would be Marcus Marius Avitus a Roman fighter from Pompeii.
Next would be Ambillus “The Beetle” the first Gaul fighter from the city of Neapolis.
These great warriors would be joined by Salomon “The Squasher”, a Celtic fighter from Rome.
Finally the last of this wave to emerge would be the great Gaius Pontidius Stolo flanked by his Praetorian Guards.
Wave 3:
The battles would play out and the crowds thirst for more would only grow as their thunderous chants rattled the Colosseum walls. The third wave of fighters, shaken by the roaring crowds would soon join the battle.
To thunderous applause the first of wave 3 to enter was the beautiful Berenice known throughout Pompeii as “The Macedonian Spear”
Next would be Vlattia “The Canine” from Neapolis.
Lastly the most fatal fighter of them all to enter would be Tadala from Neapolis known as “Vespid”
Prepared or not even the Gladiator Trainees would soon thirst for Gold and Glory on the battlefield.
Wave 4:
Of all the waves of combatants, none can compare to the massive “Brothers of the Slaughterhouse”, Kasos and Thales.
“After the disappearance of Lemuria, some stones and machines were left behind, which indirectly destroyed Atlantis. Then the new civilizations were rising all over the world, and the new crises were also beginning to emerge…. However, something was out of the ordinary. No one ever noticed that the cursed beasts and monsters had been placed in the dungeon of the Colosseum. When those dangerous things were released, a grand game would inevitably result in a series of bloody killings.“
