Oh he looks awesome.
Sold! More please.
So could this mean their going to rerelease ax battler?
Awesome, thrilled he's next! He looks fantastic. Will be ordering at least two of these.
Maybe as some kind of variant then...? Hard to imagine people getting the other 2 knowing they're always going to be missing one.
You can't play the same character in Golden Axe in co-op, if memory serves, so there was never any alternate color version of the sprites. Even in the VS mode where players could play PvP, you couldn't pick the same character.
So outside of some "bloody" variant or maybe a black/red color "clone" variant (I somehow remember having to fight evil clone versions of the heroes in the GA games, not sure if real or just figment of my imagination; or getting confused with SOR where it definitely happens), I don't think there's a chance we'll get Axe Battler again.
I'm floored at how my childhood losses in the arcade are now prepared to pay me back in adulthood.
I'm super excited for this guy! Ax Battler and the Skeleton Warriors are top-tier, so I'm sure Gilius will be no different.
I have an new boxed Axe Battler if anyone wants to DM me an offer I cant refuse...
Classic. Reminds me of THE LOST VIKINGS video game. Maybe I'll have to bite because of that haha. Loved that game
Small companies can't just reissue something every time they do a new release in the same line.
It isn't a stretch they find some way to do a variant of Axe Battler, in order to "re-issue" him that way.

Is there any chance, based on the popularity of the Golden Axe figures thus far, Storm might do figures from the sequel games? Like maybe they will do Kain Grinder instead of another Ax Battler?
Gilius turned out pretty good. Was actually hoping he'd resemble the sprites a bit more, with longer hair/beard and more of a dwarven proportion, but this still looks great. Chicken leg looks awesome too. Can't find a more iconic GA mount than that. Preordering it right now and waiting for more info on Tyris.
