The Spirit Warrior series is another new line from one2believe. This series seems aimed at pre-teen boys, and feature muscle bound warrior very similar in feel to the He-Man toy series. There are only 2 figure currently available in this series, Samson and Goliath. It is unfortunate that there is not a David figure, as it would make more sense to have David battling Goliath, but I suppose Samson will have to do.
Samson is powerful with rippling muscles and long flowing hair. He is fully posable and comes with a nice red outfit that appears to be well put together. The facial sculpting of this figure is outstanding, and the plastic body looks like it will last through a lot of wear and tear.

Goliath is also 13 inches tall, and comes kitted out in a helmet and armor. The body sculpting of this figure is great but the face is not quite as good as the Samson figure. Goliath's garmets are exceptionally well made though, and the figure like Samson seems very durable.

If this line catches on, we expect to see many more figures, and perhaps some vehicles or playsets. It would be great if there was a set where Samson could pull down the columns of a building for example. Since many parents seem interested in one2believe's toys due to their move away from violence though, it is still a mystery whether these figure will succeed.
If you have younger children that are perhaps preschool age or thereabouts, we suggest you have a look at the Tales of Glory series.
