Will the arena fighter come with this helmet? Or do you need to purchase separately? Sorry, just confused.

This Gladiator helm will NOT be available with the outfit.

Doesn't look like it Yankee.

Hi guys a little update.
We decided to the very last minute to make a correction on Optio helms (Tinned and Bronzed)
After many research, discussion with reenactors groups and a long Philological study we arrived to conclusion that the best historically accurate color for Optio crest is White (or Black or Black and White).
Not Red as the picture of the previews.

So we got the decision to change it.
The Optio helm you will receive will arrive "updated" with White Crest.

This are the pictures of the products you will find in the box

Feedback are welcome

Received my Gladiator helmet today. It is a beautiful piece of art and I love it, but I'm hoping I can get a replacement from where I bought mine. Showed up missing one of the spikes and there was no loose one to reattach. You can see where there was excess glue as if the artist tried to reattach it (many others have excess glue as well).

Oy, sorry to see that Jimmie and that doesn't inspire confidence. Mine has been shipped so I'm hoping for the best.

I have a second spike that is loose and can come off at any moment. Glue isn't holding well on these.

EDIT - was checking out the other spikes and something stabbed my finger. Be careful when putting this on a sculpt and when handling it as the sharp nail that was used to insert the button (or whatever that detail is called) was not filed down on mine -- could damage sculpt (or fingers)

Mate, no this is not standard.
You must ask for replacement.
Feel free to contact us at [email protected] to assist you in the replacement.
A new batch of helms will arrive soon in Usa.
We will place in the Usa shipment a replacement helm for you.
Then Usa distributor will take care of delivery to you.

For those of you who have this helmet coming soon, mine is being replaced. KP assured me that the way my helmet was sent to me is not the condition it should be in. There were issue with some in transport that the seller may have tried to fix before filling orders.

Thanks again KP for your help.
