Golden Axe – Ax Battler and Red Dragon Set
Golden Axe is one of the most classic and iconic side-scrolling arcade beat ’em up game released in 1989 by Sega. This year, we are celebrating the 30th Anniversary of this legendary game of the industry. The game places the player in control of one of three warriors each bent on revenge against the vile dictator Death Adder. One of them is a male barbarian, Ax Battler, wielding a two handed broadsword looking for revenge for the murder of his mother. The force of Ax’s magic is able to cast Earth spells. The players are able to ride on the Red Dragon and fire at the enemies.
Features:
– 2 x Interchangeable Ax Battler’s Head Sculpts
– 4 x Interchangeable Pair of Hands
– 1 x Ax Battler’s Sword
– The Red Dragon (Fully Articulated)
– Fireball Effect

The gritted teeth look more like an unnatural smile... like "Hurry up and take the picture, this speedo is too tight and I want to wear my sweatpants!"
I will definitely consider getting the dwarf, Gilius Thunderhead, if they make him. Tyris and Ax would be made better with seamless 1/12 figures, imho. Might get this just for the dragon and sell Ax.

Definitely getting this! I agree in hoping that they make the dwarf as that's who I always played as, but these sets look great. I hope they give the magic potions as accessories to some of them. I don't think 1/12 seamless would work, at least not the seamless ones available now. Storm figures are pretty big, closer to 1/10. I generally like the way their articulation works anyway, I've never really been disappointed with a Storm figure.
Yeah, current seamless would be too small, but if Storm did them as seamless (they use really soft plastic already, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch) it would work... as for disappointment, sculpt-wise, they are beautiful. longevity is questionable. My Sub-Zero is now virtually unarticulated because of the amount of superglue needed to glue the figure back together from just regular handling and posing. Storm's customer service is inexistent. Scorpion and Goro are holding up well, so I'm hoping it's just a rare dud.

I am so getting this! Golden axe series is one of my faves! Though i always found it funny a guy named axe battler wielded a sword.
Yes, Scorpion has a droopy spear. I pose mine with the rolled up spear.
Is this only available through Storm Collectibles?
This one sold out fast!!! Never seen a StormCo. figure sell out in a day!
Well, there are a lot of Sega fans out there and many of us are are Golden Axe fans. I still fire up Beast Rider from time to time as the most modern iteration and I'm the only one of my group of friends that completed Duel on my Saturn...
While I'm not into Storm enough to grab this, it's awesome to see and doesn't surprise that it would sell out.
hmmmmmmm...
I just had to open up a Paypal dispute with StormCo for not answering my emails and Paypal messages regarding the Cammy SFV figure I pre-ordered back in June and is now being sold by BBTS. Last month they left Sagat out of my order of Ryu, Ken, Sagat, & Guile and they ended up re-shipping me the order but instead of just sending the missing Sagat, they sent me an extra Ryu, Ken, and Guile lol. So I don't know what is going on with Storm Co's customer service, but its really really bad.
Storm should do Tyris, Gilius and most especially, Death=Adder. Provided that Ax would sell well which I hope it does.
That being said, if I were to choose a Sega game, it’d be Altered Beast... all scaled to goro height. I’d grab the Golden Werewolf and the Weredragon. Maybe the weretiger too.
Getting this for sure. If they did Streets of Rage or Final Fight I'd buy every figure. Even color variants. Make it happen Storm.
I think I'm more excited for the Skelton soldier, whenever that gets released.
I'd get this if it was just Ax Battler
