Yeah, CMON has had some bugs for the last couple months. If you insert the image from your computer it will double post as an attachment too. Under the 'go advanced' button you can remove them from the body of the post (just delete) but leave them as attachments. If you use the insert image from URL then it will only show up once... as long as you uncheck the 'Retrieve remote file and reference locally.' If that's left checked then it will double post. Either way it's a pain to avoid double posting. I keep hoping CMON will fix the issue but nothing yet.
That's a sweet gladiator figure, one of my favorite. I haven't added it to my collection yet but it's definitely on my wish list! It's a great looking figure, can't wait to see your version. Coincidentally they've got a Pompeii exhibit here in LA and I was just there the other day taking some photos for future figure reference. Here are some of the artifacts that this sculpt is based on. The helmet has a bit of damage, but all in all it's in pretty good shape for being almost 2000 years old. They had a second set that I'm attaching too. While not relevant to this figure, I thought it was cool enough to share.
