There have been many attempts to revive the success that was The American Gladiators in the late 80s. One of the more recent attempts was Gladiators UK which aired on Sky1 in 2008. The US, UK, and Australian versions of the show were all revived that year, but I believe UK was the only one that had a toy line made to celebrate it. Inferno, played by model/wrestler Jemma Palmer, was one of an impressive nine female Gladiators on the show, and obviously had some major appeal since she was the only one made in plastic. Too bad the figure itself doesn't do her justice at all, because she is a beautiful woman. These figures, made by Character Options Ltd, are actually pretty impressive. They have very unique articualtion and scale, it's just unfortunate that the face sculpt is a little homely. This may actually be a fun one to attempt to customize - if only she weren't so hard to get ahold of here in the US (I like to have a spare if I'm going to potentially ruin a toy). Let's check her out below!
