World Of Warcraft Toys Still Better Than World Of Warcraft

These are news? Just so people know Michael Jackson is dead. Most of these have been up on play for months.

@resvrgam:

I thought I was the ONLY person that didn't get rolled over by Blizzard just changing parts of the lore like they did. It still angers me but, oh well.

The figures look awesome though. I'd buy the Night Elf one in a heartbeat.

That ghoul is probably the most accurate game to model conversion I've ever seen. Probably because I'd never expect to see it, but the dimensions, that underbite, it's fucking perfect.

That voidwalker is a little too dark but still badass.

I want the Thrall one (It looks like Thrall....) and the Lady Sylvanas one... But when do we get Bloodelf Warlock ones....?

@evslin: Now that's an MMO I'd like to see^^

Of all of these, the Banshee queen is the best looking IMO although they are all looking quite exquisitely crafted.

@masterdingo: Viilink's comment is not unapproved.

Read this, about pending users:

Anyway, this is totally off topic. If you want to continue the conversation, PM me. :)

@bialia: Not FinalDragon, Viilink... the thread above this one.

@Pombar:
yea I kind of understood the kael thing but zul'jin ? I mean he was a hero in warcraft II, couldn't they have come up with a random troll

anduin

Sigh... As if I didn't spend enough money on Wow they go ahead and find a way to milk me for more mola!

Befitzero

@masterdingo:

Yeah, that's cause I approved the comment so people could see who D-K was talking to.

bialia

It's funny that they say there better than WOW, cause I started collecting these when they first came out and never played WOW at all, but I still get the figures

legolasfan411

@SunScramble: OMG THAT WAS THE BEST SET EVER! JUDGEMENT FTW!

I unite with everyone and say Sylvanas figure is the best one!
Looking forward to buy it

@bialia: I can see the comments of anyone that comments. It makes approved comments highlight in a yellow/green color and all of the other comments are black text over the white background. Then again, if there are comments that I can't see, I wouldn't be aware of them anyway, lol. I can see ViiLink's comment above this string, though. It looks like he's unapproved.

masterdingo

@masterdingo: As far as I know, that script doesn't make the comments from new users with unapproved accounts appear. I could be wrong.

bialia

@xblindx: me too... I own no action figures and never had any desire to buy any, but I'd love to have that Sylvanas one.

SYLVANAS. DO WANT.

xblindx

I so want that Sylvanas and the goblin riding the crotch rocket.

@bialia: Some of us use the Firefox Stylish script to bypass this elitist bullshit commenting system. So, I can see all of the comments.

masterdingo

@resvrgam: Only the Orcs came through the Dark Portal. That's how it has been since WarCraft: Humans & Orcs. The Trolls, Goblins, and Ogres where always in Azeroth.

@fdisk: He's just moved on to bigger and better things ;P

PENDING LICENSOR APPROVAL

I can never see a high definition troll, be it in the cutscenes or in toys/models... why?

excaleranth

Is it just me, or does #11 look exactly like Conan(not from the movies)?

Why are there no plushy gnomes? Blizzards next product should be stuffed bed gnomes fo sho!

Thut

Must...have...Sylvanas....

@Pombar: Dead in the inn, of course D:

@Joint_Operation: Mine was whats known in these parts as a joke.

When I first glanced at the pic on the front page, I thought it was a Shiva statue from FFXIII.
Then I realised she was wearing way too many clothes, and her hips didn't look like they could thrust and girate quite capably enough.

Dang, that ghoul looks sick! In an undead sorta good way.

@Joint_Operation: Because this is the internet.

@D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..: I buy man dolls and I'm proud, dammit!

@FinalDragoon: As stated elsewhere, Fahey is an avid player of WoW.

Also, sorry everyone, I pushed this comment through accidentally. :(

bialia

@D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..: Do you realise no one can see the "unapproved" posts you're replying to but other star commenters?

bialia

Wow.. Those were pretty sharp.

--Core--

@Joint_Operation:

Read the post. The title is explained immediately:

"DC Direct's line of World of Warcraft figures continues to put actual WoW 3D models to shame."

bialia

@Joint_Operation: Wonder where that guy is who had a heart attack about hating on Halo...

@DigitalHero: Yup. Once something gets too popular, there's always a group of people that feel the need to bring it down. Halo, Final Fantasy, Nintendo, etc. That said, reading Fahey's post, he's only commenting on WoW's graphics, which are in no way cutting edge (for obvious reasons).

Showmeyomoves!

I totally want the walrus looking one. He looks awesome, and I could have swore I saw the green goblin in one of those pictures, lol.

@Joint_Operation:

People always hate the object or person on top. Just how it is.

@Pombar: Don't forget about the complete trivialization of The Dark Portal, the blue space-Russians, "warp cores" and all the other crap that made the *original stories so much more compelling. WTF happened to the Orcs, Goblins, Trolls and Ogres being creatures of Draenor that came to Azeroth through the Dark Portal? Those were the good ol' days.

*nothing from Blizzard has ever been "original" but their initial rip-off of Warhammer was a lot better than the whimsical hodge-podge we see today.

@Joint_Operation, D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..: Fahey has been a WoW player for a long time; I doubt that he'd put presumably countless hours, and hundreds of dollars into a game he hates... on second thought, I used to know quite a few WoW players like that... =/

One day I will buy a life sized Illidan statue. Then when Halloween rolls around every little kid in my neighborhood is fucked.

Alucrid

Dammit, where's my plastic Human Paladin in full Tier 2?

Enough of Hogger already! Where's the real star of the show, Gamon?

@resvrgam: Yeah. Kael turned evil just so you can fight him! Zul'Jin turned evil just so you can fight him! Jeez. Enough turning Warcraft's best characters into brainless bosses.

some people really put a lot of time into their collective tastes.

J.D.

@Venny:
It's not Hogger; it's a Gnoll Elite from Lich King; but whatever, you can say it's Hogger and no one will argue with you :)

That dwarf is AWESOME

@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): My client is not authorized to answer any questions of that nature at this time. This press conference is over.

Courteous_Gentleman

The craftsmanship is brilliant! Unfortunately, the characters I enjoyed in the stories have been sullied by horrible "ret-conning" and downright terrible writing (post-the original WoW release).

Seeing Sylvannas Windrunner rendered in such detailed plastic is a nice treat.

It's a shame the aesthetics eclipse substance though.

Wow! Imagine playing World of Warcraft with this level of details on models. This would be crack 2.0

slimky

@SHOWTIME!: The WoW 3D Models = The characters in the game.

Janxer

Not just the 3D models, i think you meant the actual game also >.>

Mister Fahey! Mister Fahey?! Is it true that when you say WoW 3D models, you aren't referring to FigurePrint models? Can I quote you on this?????

Hogger! I mean, quite interesting.

illidan is win

ViiLink

@FinalDragoon: Playing the game would be the populair thing to do... unless of course the hate-posts exceed 8 million ...

Anyway it's all about the Facebook/Myspace hate right now.. so i've been told

D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..

@Joint_Operation: i'm a sarcastic samaritan like that..

D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..

They should just re-title this article "we're making fun of WoW, because it's the popular thing to do."

FinalDragoon

@D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..:

You've been a tremendous help...

@Ants_Pai: Pretty much every post in this thing... i'm bored

D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..

@evslin: pfff, you wouldn't wanna know what it took me to take out those damn cavity creeps.. themz are tuff

D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..

@Ants_Pai:"It's not a toy.. it's a collectible!!"

D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..

@QualityJeverage: I'm as suprised as you, sir.

D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..

@D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..: What are you replying to? :S

These'd be good to use on a big ass roleplaying board game..

D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..

@Joint_Operation: I'm guessing they dislike the game... but i've been known for my crazy accusations

D-K, owhoo... how unfortunate..

Professionally crafted top-grade figures look more detailed than models in a 5-year old MMO? How could it be?!

QualityJeverage

@Paradox me: Me too, although I don't like the game these toys look pretty awesome

Why all the WoW hate?

@(Hollow) svenhoek: You got that right, it didn't take me 25 of my Ninja Turtles/He-Man/Transformers toys to beat Skeletor

@Paradox me: Same here. I tried WoW, just wasn't for me. I like the art style of the game though, and figurines are always cool.

I'd buy those and I don't even play WoW.

Paradox me

What isn't more fun than playing WoW?

Espically playing with toys :P

I could definitely see myself spending 15 dollars a month on these.

Ya playing with toys is more fun then playing WoW :)
