The action figures that every Xena fan deserves.

Posted by SameClerk2608@reddit | xena | View on Reddit | 44 comments

This is a digitally generated (AI) model by the Instagram profile thecollector77. They have many figures like this, all broken dreams, since none of them actually exist, but I like seeing what could have been or what could be, even though it hurts that they didn't make a collectible figure of this quality. Would you buy it? Absolutely, and now that I'm an adult with my own money, I can assure you that I would!

Craniac Studios online sells 3D printed head of a wide variety of scales/base figure types.

Xena and Gabrielle are both characters you can order, and Gabrielle I believe has options for different seasons of hair length

I would love to see people tackle this project. The old 90s figures were in an odd scale but might provide a start. I know I had tried my hand at a few over the years.

It’s a shame they only have a screaming Xena head 😱

Competitive-Put1047@reddit

Wait what?! I need to look into them. I've been struggling to find a suitable Gabrielle head to make her to match the Xena I made

EasyEntrepreneur666@reddit

I thought we had a rule against AI...

StormeeusMaximus@reddit

I had the Gabrielle one! I just wish my mom hadn't thrown all my toys away 😢.

There was a dope one I had growing up, it had had a magnet on her hand , and a switch on the back to move her arm/hand to latch on to the chakram to equip it. Lol

I'm...so sick of ai

BeeHorrible@reddit

Came on here like “take my money!!!” And then it’s Ai. Ugh now I’m mad and figureless.

RynnB1983@reddit

me too, but you have to admit those look fucking amazing and we all want to buy them.

[-]

BunsinHoneyDew@reddit

Yeah giving clicks to an account that just wastes reaources generating images of action figures...

Like what the fuck lol

[-]

TehKaoZ@reddit

Eh... at least they were transparent about it being so.

That being said, a real figure designer would likely include some waist articulation and neck articulation. These probably wouldn't move much.

FearlessObligation54@reddit

Like this is totally possible to if somone wanted to hand make em

Nxj6126@reddit

Of course we can’t get cool action figures of women… 🙄

HausCat4@reddit

I wish Sideshow made a Xena figure. They do the best realistic figures.

[-]

Darth_Twinge@reddit

If Xesray Studio that made "Golden Hildr" got the license, I think that is pretty much what we would get. They do a lot of Roman Gladiator type figures. Amazing that the best we got so far for Xena was the stuff from ToyBiz.

DID YOU SAY A STUFFED XENA?!! I need to find that 🤭

[-]

Crafty_Two5432@reddit

What?

[-]

FeedOk8085@reddit

Listen, I was reading this while pulling an all nighter. I thought this meant there was a Xena stuffed toy somewhere hahahaha 😆

[-]

Embarrassed-Web-4707@reddit

Have you seen the savage crucible line by Harbinger studios? They do Conan like figures and better quality than some of my 100-200$ figures. I’d love for them to give it a shot.

I've been dying for Hot Toys, Inart, Soosootoys or any of those premium figure brands to create a Xena figure. I hate that Xena has been passed over all these years.

[-]

FitMountain8649@reddit

I would LOVE this. I would spend good money on a premium figure of Xena and Gabrielle.

[-]

Pop_Stensbold@reddit

Hot Toys Xena figures would have been phenomenal. We might have even got a later Gabrielle figure for once.

[-]

rockandrollfun@reddit

Sold the abs lol

[-]

Evilbuffy14@reddit

Definitely need updated figures. Moore released some good ones back in the day, never Xena, but something similar would be good.

[-]

Narutoblaa@reddit

I hate getting reminded of what I can't have 😭

[-]

SameClerk2608@reddit (OP)

For those who criticize that it's made with AI. Look, that information has never been hidden, and in this case AI helps to create a prototype, an example, of what such a figure could look like. Imagine that this prototype is so well received that someone decides to create it in 3D and sell it or make it official. I don't know, I think in this case it doesn't hurt anyone, it's not a fake painting, drawing, or scene. It is just a prototype that can serve as an example.

Its still using the same dataset that's stuffed with mine and my peers stolen work that's being used for profit without our consent or compensation.
The same dataset that scraped the dark web and is rife with Child Sexual Abuse Material. (*Every single image generator uses the Laion5 dataset at it's core, every single one. Even the one on your computer, even that one, yes even that one on your phone*)
Using the dataset that's lining the pockets of the largest funder of the trump regime.
And funding the encroachment of datacenters onto mostly poor and Black neighbourhoods in the US who are reporting rising cases of breathing and heart conditions that they can neither afford healthcare for, nor their electric bills in the winters.

BUT HEY, cool picture!

[-]

ZvsGrgs@reddit

Yeah I would totally buy this. Only Chakram looks bad, otherwise it’s great.

[-]

Pop_Stensbold@reddit

Seriously been wanting a company to get the licence and do a big selection of characters in high quality versions from the show for years now. I find these AI posts on Instagram especially annoying (not only because AI is flooding there right now in ever increasing annoying levels) but because they remind me how much we probably won't get something along those lines.

[-]

goodbyebirdd@reddit

Could we not share AI generated stuff, please.

[-]

ice_warrior_princess@reddit

Wow it is very realistic! I won't mind getting it for a Christmas present. To me from me.

[-]

dark-elf997@reddit

booooooo 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

[-]

MaryW1965@reddit

Absolutely!

[-]

Xena2025@reddit

Oh wow, this is amazing. I wish it was real! I would buy two of them. I have been waiting for Hot Toys to make Xena and Gabrielle figures for years. No luck yet! 😩

[-]

Agent8699@reddit

Take my money! 💰 💰 💰

I wish we could get action figures that looked even half as good as these ones. Sadly, companies have tried and failed.

It’s a shame Super7 didn’t do more with the Xena licence.

[-]

Stracharys@reddit

I always tried to hype myself up to get the action figures they had at Toys R Us, but when it came time to pick a thing I just couldn’t do it. They were so bad.

[-]

kmf-89@reddit

Ai?

[-]

RynnB1983@reddit

OP...that is 100 lashes to be carried out immediately. You should be ashamed of yourself for posting that. lol...j/k...a little.

I have never in my life clicked on a post so fast as I did this one. I seriously thought those were real and was about to figure out how to take out a mortgage to preorder the hell out of them. I wish we could get this...these are amazing even though AI still wish this could have been. would love a Xena/Callisto or Callisto/Velasca or something. but god i wish these were real.

[-]

MusicIsLife81@reddit

Yes we need those for sure! I'm surprised we didn't get something release for the 25th or 30th anniversary with how big of following the show still has. I really was expecting to see some new stuff hitting the shelves besides just the 3 funko pops and even then it seems like it took forever for them to release a Gabrielle after they released the first Xena.
