Is it possible for everyone to let out a thunderous and enthusiastic “Alalaes” shout, echoing through the roofs? It’s high time we celebrate the legendary warrior battle cry, as 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of one of television’s most iconic fantasy characters: Xena, the Warrior Princess.
1995 marked the debut of Lucy Lawless, famously known as Xena from “Battlestar Galactica,” in the fantasy series, “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.” The enchanting character garnered such a massive following that it led to a separate spin-off series titled, “Xena: Warrior Princess.” This show continues to be a staple on SYFY’s regular programming lineup (for air dates, refer to the schedule).
For six seasons, the TV show chronicled Xena’s journeys through ancient Greece, where she was a renowned warrior. Alongside her on these travels was her loyal friend and fellow warrior, Gabriele (played by Renee O’Connor), who accompanied her throughout their shared adventures as they sought to make amends for past wrongdoings while assisting the oppressed and less fortunate.
Over the past three decades, Xena has become widely recognized as a global fantasy symbol, a trailblazing sapphic role model, and a key figure in the ’90s wave of female-centric heroes who revolutionized episodic storytelling. However, she’s yet to receive one notable pop culture accolade – an official Funko POP! figure… until now!

Indeed, enthusiasts of Xena rejoice! It’s been confirmed that Funko has secured the rights for Xena: Warrior Princess, perfectly timed to mark the 30th anniversary of this groundbreaking fantasy TV show. The collection debuts with a figurine of Xena and one of Gabrielle, both in the popular POP! style.
In honor of Xena: Warrior Princess turning 30, it’s fantastic news that Gabrielle is now available as a Funko POP! figurine. She’s shown with her reliable staff at the ready, prepared to join Xena on more POP-worthy escapades. Unbox her and carry on the fight!” O’Connor shares with SYFY WIRE.
Soon, you can get your hands on two distinctive figures of Xena, available not just from Funko, but also their authorized retailers. Here’s a sneak peek at both, priced individually at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $11.99 each.
Xena: Warrior Princess: Xena with Spear Funko POP!
As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled about the new Funko POP! figure of Xena, complete with her iconic spear. Sporting a windswept hairstyle, this 4-inch tall vinyl figure aligns perfectly with the standard Funko POP line. With a battle-ready stance and spear in hand, she’s ready to take on any adventure!
Xena: Warrior Princess: Gabrielle Funko POP!
The sidekick POP! version of Xena features a timeless Gabrielle, armed with her initial preferred weapon, the Amazon fighting staff. Dressed in her early preferred attire, she dons a green, short-sleeved halter top and a battle-ready skirt, ready for combat.
Just like other Funko POP! figures, if these Xena collectibles receive a positive response, we can expect more variations and additional characters in the future. Keep an eye on Funko’s official site for purchasing options and updates on new releases.
