I'm glad that ya'll like the Vambraces, because it’s one of my favorites, if not my favorite piece!
It will also be showing up in a number of other characters, so keep your eyes out for it.
@Lord Lajaka:
I own 24 roman shields, and enough Roman Minifigs for them all. 
My only problem is that I don't have that many spears or swords, and that's why some are outfitted with other weapons than the rest. I got the shields, decals and helments from Brickforge, and the rest from Lego.com Pick-a-Brick. Even though it cost a bundle, I think it was well worth it. The final result was one nice army!
Anyway, thanks for the feedback on which Croc to use. (All one of you.
)
But I need some more help on this guy:

The Hermit
Why the hermit would want to leave the nearby city of Rome and go live in the Haunted Swamp is known only to himself. Some have suggested that he did some great evil and is being cursed by the gods, others think he is insane, but still more think he is faking his madness to protect a secret (Possibly treasure!) Either way, he has ran as far away from the city as he could. He has built a house and was living somewhat peacefully until he wasn't seen for a while, and Killer Croc was living in the house. The general consensus is that Croc happened by and wanted the house to himself. Most agree that Croc ate the unfortunate hermit, but reports of his still living are circulated. Some evidence to the former is the legend of a brave man that went into the swamp and asked Croc what he did with the hermit, Croc is said to have answered "I ate him, but he was kinda chewy." The reliably of the legend is undetermined, as the next line states that: The man was then eaten by Croc, and Croc said "At least he had a little crunch to him." Although it is still unknown if Croc can even talk, or how the legend was started.
The Hermit is alive (though not very well) in the movie, but I'm not sure what he should look like.
Here are some other versions. But those just don't seem "Hermit-y" enough. Advice would be greatly appreciated! I would like him to look haggard and worn-out, and if you have any suggestions for the minifigure don't hesitate to post them!
