Leon is King Leonidas.
King Leonidas led the Spartan Army into the Battle of Thermopylae in the Persian War. This was way back in 480 BC. King Leonidas died in that battle.
You have probably seen him portrayed by Gerard Butler in the film 300.
The film is based on a comic by the same name, written by Frank Miller.
The Tech Deck Dude designers love Frank Miller. In addition to this nod to 300, we also have Fred (the Robocop parody) and Mickey (the Sin City parody). Plus, Miller has done some work with the Spawn comic, and we even a version of Super Finger painted up to look like Spawn.
Leon is one of two new figures that came in a warrior-themed series -- the other being Mulungu. The remaining four in this particular series were re-releases: Aztec Bull, Aztec Cluckers, Henry the knight, and Erik the viking.
