[RadekKotecki]

Panzerart has recently released a figurine of Přemysl Otakar II, the esteemed King of Bohemia, the "King of Iron and Gold." Celebrated for his victory at Kressenbrunn in 1260 and his fateful end at the Battle of the Marchfeld in 1278. Sculpted by Oleg Pogosyan.

It is currently available for a limited-time promotion, which, according to the company's owner, will last about a week.

This appears to be an excellent figure, if this is your thing grab one while it is available.

Thanks for this wonderful news, Radek. A historical podcast I follow just recently examined The Battle on the Marchfeld.

Very nicely done. With a different helmet he would easily represent Richard Coeur de Lion.

Thanks for your words!

As the initiator and consultant during its creation, I've been closely involved. For those interested, I've shared some materials that could be useful for painting.

Awesome. It's clear that a lot of research and passion went into this and it's a definitive purchase for me.

Would love to see more Bohemian subjects too, for example John the Blind!

Agree! There is a notable absence of figures representing Central European characters; John of Luxembourg is a prime example. I'll share a little secret: a pedestrian figurine of Casimir III the Great is in the works - with his magnificent crown and beard. Unfortunately, I don’t yet know the release date. Hopefully, this year.

That really is a bizarre helmet ornament, reminiscent of the wings for the, much later, Husaria of Poland.
Nice looking figure
