Gladiator Figurine — Maximus — Pop! Movies No. 860

Meet Maximus Decimus Meridius in his Roman general’s attire with this Pop! Movies No. 860 figurine, produced by Funko and inspired by the film Gladiator.

The figure features the signature style of the Pop! range, with an oversized head, a sculpted beard and a determined expression. This edition depicts Maximus in richly decorated golden armour, differing from the more understated gladiator outfit seen on other figures dedicated to the character.

His armour includes a breastplate adorned with embossed patterns, shoulder, wrist and leg guards, as well as a long red cape draped over his back. Maximus clutches a sword firmly in his right hand and strikes an offensive pose that evokes his experience as a general and warrior.

Character’s origin and universe

In *Gladiator*, Maximus is a respected Roman general loyal to Emperor Marcus Aurelius. When the emperor wishes to entrust him with the mission of restoring the Republic, his son Commodus seizes power and orders the execution of Maximus and his family.

After narrowly escaping death, Maximus is captured, enslaved and forced to fight as a gladiator. His military prowess and fighting skills gradually earn him the respect of his fellow gladiators and the admiration of the Roman people.

This figurine depicts the character in his prestigious general’s armour, before Commodus’s betrayal transformed the commander of the northern armies into a gladiator determined to avenge his family and fulfil Marcus Aurelius’s final wishes.
