To Matt and Aurelius: The archers are most likely from Crete where they wore a scaled/leaf shaped mail resembling Parthian style and that may not resolute well in a molded plastic format. A segmeted replication maybe was just easier than mail, or maybe the modeler just doesn't know. Maybe possible some Cretan archers took to wearing lighter and less expensive Segmentata as a field expediency and we are not aware of it because there is no record, but damn they still look good! I think I am going to hold my breath and pound on the floor until one of my family buys me some of them!
