Hardcore fans of the blockbuster hit 300 from Director Zack Snyder and 300 creator Frank Miller are going nuts over the recently released 300 movie replicas from Dungeonknight.com. Fans looking to collect 300 memorabilia and cosplaying geeks have been seeking to boost their 300 Spartan costumes either to display or wear at events such as conventions, and the perfectly accurate replica of the brooch holding together the Spartans’ cape is the perfect accessory to complete that Spartan image.
The Spartans as depicted in the Frank Miller graphic novel which was the basis for the groundbreaking blockbuster hit movie of the same name were often depicted with as little armor as possible – garbed only in light armor such as helms, vambraces, and greaves – with their crimson capes serving as their torso’s sole protection from the elements. This was because Miller incorporated the Greco-Roman art concept of “heroic nudity” wherein heroic figures are showcased with their bodies almost bare, showing off the beauty of the human physique.
Crafted from the finest brass antiqued to fit that ancient Greek feel, the 300 round brooch from Dungeon Knight is as accurate as can be, with its quality rivaling those produced for the actors’ costumes themselves. The strap to fasten the brooch with is made from a tough leather material while the fastening snap is also made from fine brass. Measuring in at approximately 3 inches in diameter, these replica brooches from the 300 movie is sure to be the perfect accenting piece for any Spartan costume.
