Anyone who has always wanted to meet Illidan from World of Warcraft up close can now fulfill this dream. For the right price.
The room lacks the right decoration? You should study for an exam, but “don’t know what to expect”? Then the latest statue from the Blizzard Gear Store might just be made for you. Since yesterday (03.11.2016), Blizzard has been selling a likeness of the infamous demon hunter Illidan Stormrage, as he climbs rocks and gazes into the abyss with outstretched wings. This figure, with a height of nearly 60cm, is not simple “mass-produced goods,” but each figure has been hand-painted. This video shows how such a statue is created:
Especially the many small details should please the fans.
Anyone who wants to bring this fancy statue for “laid-back” 350$ dollars home will, however, have to be patient or expect to pay a multiple of the original price soon. Because just a few minutes after its introduction in the shop, the availability switched to “Out of Stock” – Sold Out.
Cortyn says: Objectively speaking (*cough*) such an Illidan would look great next to my Kerrigan or Darth Malgus. However, the price is quite steep and clearly targets the well-off fans who want to set up their own little Blizzard altar in their room. I am definitely a bit envious.
