Title: Xena... warrior princess!
Post by: Christian on April 19, 2009, 02:28:38 PM

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd try and pick the collective hive mind of miniature collectors and aficionados on here. I'm after a 28mm (preferably on the GW side of things, but anything will do!) of Xena, Warrior Princess, and Gabriel, umm Warrior Sidekick, for my gf. She's a big fan. Might try and find a Hercules one eventually too, but I figure that would be easier to find.

I've seen the GZG 25mm one and that might be a bit small. Anything else around that might do?

Thanks in advance!

You could try Copplestones Barbarian Queen, she's kinda Xena-ish, heres a link:

And foundry do a Hercules (alongside a few other classical mythological figures) that I think is quite nice.

Hope that is of some use to you.

There have been other miniature incarnations, but don't know if they're still around. Didn't Reaper do a Xena-esque figure too?

There was this one in the DSA/Armalion range (now Ral Partha Europe).

There is the unreleased Citadel Xena, of course... But she would be well-nigh impossible to find and even if you could find her the cost would probably be prohibitive:

WKs RP Europe figure looks like a good bet.

I was under the impression that em4 made a suitable mini, but looking through their online shop I can't seem to find it, leading me to believe I may have imagined it...

Well, can't seem to find it on the site now.  :(
Maybe mail them the pic and ask if it's still available.

If it is and you do go the DSA/Ral Partha route, this one from the same range might do for Gabrielle:

Somebody makes a Xena and her sidekick.  I know I saw it, I just can't find it.  Laughing Monk Maybe.  I'll go through my bookmarks and see if I can find it.

This is driving me nuts now.  The one I am thinking of has Xena about to throw that bommerang ring of hers.  It might be the same company that made the Whistler and Blade.  Can't seem to find it.  Hopefully that description triggers somebody's memory.

Try Ground Zero Games, they have a couple of warrior princesses and sidekick that might suit. I seem to recall that they are closer to a proper 25mm size though.

Eureka!  I found it.  Seriously, it's Eureka.

And now I realize this is the one you are already aware of.  Oops.

Lol, thanks for the suggestion anyway :) All the feedback so far has been, well, amazing! I've got heaps to go on for now, but it looks like it may be a little tricky :)

More suggestions are welcome by all means!
