Custom LEGO Weapon of the Week - Cestus

Posted by Merrie on 29th Dec 2017

Before the days of Pay-Per-View, long before multi-million dollar purses, before Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Mayweather vs. McGregor, there was good ol' ancient boxing. Was it primitive? Yes. Did it draw smaller crowds? Yes. Was it way more gruesome? Heck yes. And that is thanks in part to the use of neat-o weapons like the Cetus! A cestus is a type of battle glove worn like a modern boxing glove. And sometimes, as in the case of BrickWarriors' very own custom LEGO accessory, they had super sharp spikes. Just as modern-day viewers of boxing matches watch with bated breath for that big KO, people back in the day watched with bated breath for actual flesh to fly. And that's the beauty of this tiny LEGO weapon, it makes flesh fly. But not actually, because minifigs are made of plastic. But you can use your imagination.
