Xena uses the "Xena" face mold, which is a reasonable likeness of Ms. Lawless. The nose is a little large, but overall the face is attractive. Her eyes are painted bright blue with black eyeliner and brows. Her lips are bright red, and she has only the faintest traces of red blush on her cheeks. Her hair is black and reasonably well done. However, I have a huge complaint: her tiara was attached to a post that was quite thoroughly glued to her head! As the pictures suggest, I had to break the post to remove the tiara.

Toy Biz has a very nice 12 inch female body that is far more muscular than Mattel's, but still quite definately female. Xena has a twist waist and swivel arms. In addition to her jointed knees, she has jointed elbows which allow for a slight additional degree of posability. She has a small gold ring in her right hand, which is removable. I can't for the life of me imagine how they got those bracelets on- I was only able to remove one.
