This product was not a generic piece of merchandise. The 'Torch' is a double-ended, hand-made glass toy designed to look like a real Roman torch from antiquity. One end features Crystal Delights' signature "Twist" design with fire-orange detailing resembling a flame, while the other end is a series of clear beads, offering two different sensations in one device. The toy was a novelty unlike any pleasure product seen before and was heavily promoted at events like the Exxxotica Expo, where cast members such as Devon Lee, Tommy Gunn, Miko Lee, and Marcus London appeared to endorse it. spartacus mmxii
The year 2012 marked a turning point for the franchise. Liam McIntyre stepped into the sandals of Spartacus, bringing a leaner, more kinetic energy to the role. While Whitfield’s Spartacus was defined by a quiet, brooding intensity, McIntyre’s portrayal leaned into the burden of leadership. This season wasn't just about a man seeking revenge; it was about a general struggling to unite a fractured army of former slaves who shared little more than a hatred for Rome.
