Here he is; he too has the
helmet-in-the-mud thing going-on, but it's not as simple as it was with the
Romans, he's also that softer plastic though, so probably a copy. Again, no
markings, of any kind and he has a single horn like some unicorn-quiffed
follower of Pan/Dionysus! Very Barbari!
Brian Berke also has one, but I suspect
from the detailing of the helmet in the mud he is a Co-Ma original? Although the spike for a weapon is a bit suspect,
but it may be the remains of a handle for an axe which has gone the way of all
flesh? The level of detail is superb, and those horns could hurt someone! Very Barbari!
Brian's Berserker was at tea (and anyone
who's read Asterix will know we Brits
just don't fight Italians at tea-time!), so he sent a scaler with a couple of
other Hong Kong/China-Troops, although I'd like to know where that Saracen
knock-off got an American Civil War musket from? Presumably the bloke behind
him! Anyway, my Berserker is now on the mantle-shelf now for just such
occasions; although my money's on the Barbari; he's got longer arms and a
shield!
