A few years ago Lucy leant her voice to the Simpsons in the episode "Tree House of Horror". Word is out now that there will be a Xena/Lucy action figure in the Simpson range. I received this
note about the action figure:
Playmates is a company who produce the "Simpsons" collectible figurines. When Lucy Lawess first appeared on the Simpsons in a Halloween episode many fans including myself requested that
Playmates make an action figure of Lucy Lawless as the cartoon Xena. And playmates have agreed! To be released in August/September 2003 is "The Collector's Lair" a rather big playset based on the scene from the episode where
Bart and Lisa attempt to rescue Lucy Lawless from "The Collector". It will include figures of The Comic Book Guy as "The Collector", Lisa Simpson as "Clobber Girl", Bary Simpson as "Stretch Dude" and of course Lucy Lawless as
herself in her Xena outfit. Playmates also usually make these things with voice interaction, so the Lucy Lawless figure may also feature recordings of some of her lines from this episode. It is apparently some sort of
exclusive playset that will only be released to certain retailers, which may mean it will be hard to get (especially in Australia) and will probably be pretty costly. At the moment there is only concept art available at some
of the Simpson action figure sites.
Many thanks to Adam for the informationFor more on these action figures go to:

News from Creation Entertainment:
- LUCY AND RENEE: NEW CANDIDS AVAILABLE!!
These two stars really shine in our upcoming video production COFFEE TALK 2, available as
part of XENA FAN CLUB KIT #6 -
And, for the first time, we have candid glossy full color photographs taken during the
shoot, for sale! These have been approved by Lucy and Renee and they look awesome!
The photos are by Wendy Sparks from the Video shoot. http://www.creationent.com/xena/
NEW XENA PROPS READY FOR ORDER!!
For years now, we've been hearing from loyal Xena fans that they want the ability to
purchase a number of props/costume items that have not been offered previously.
It is important to us to be able to deliver only items made by the New Zealand propmakers
that worked on Xena, so we can insure that they are exactly the same as the ones used in
the series.
After months of negotiation we have been able now, for the first time, to offer
these items to you... XENA'S GAUNTLETS and XENA'S UPPER ARMBANDS. In the past we've
been able to get just a few XENA WHIPS and SWORD SCABBARDS from New Zealand, but now we
are able to get more as well.
Because these are all hand-crafted, they can take up to 3 months to deliver. And,
since the Xena prop team no longer is actively working on the series, we need to pre-pay
them a substantial portion of the order to get production started. That basically
means that charges for the items need to be run upon order and the wait could be up to 90
days (it is usually faster, but we want to be as conservative as possible).
With that in mind, we've opened up the ordering process on all of these props and if you
are interested, please place your orders now at: http://www.creationent.com/xena/
10 October
There are two days left to take advantage of
Creation's Official Fan Club bonus gift if you order the Official Fan Club Kit #6. To take
a sneak peak at what that bonus gift is - check out http://www.creationent.com/outback/fanclubs/index.html
