DC UNLIMITED TO PRODUCE COLLECTIBLE ACTION FIGURES BASED ON ' WORLD OF WARCRAFT '

DC Unlimited, the new brand launched by DC Comics to license and promote the world ' s greatest pop culture characters and stories, is proud to announce the release of a line of action figures based on World of Warcraft, the popular Blizzard Entertainment Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG). The collectibles will be unveiled next month at New York ' s American International Toy Fair and will be distributed worldwide in both mass market and specialty channels.

The Warcraft franchise has been a pillar of gaming culture for over a decade and remains the world ' s largest-selling strategy video game with over 19 million copies sold. With over 7.5 million subscribers worldwide, the game creates a unique and interactive environment, allowing for thousands of simultaneous player adventures. World of Warcraft has also been America ' s top-selling PC game since its release in November of 2004.

" Blizzard has created an impressive and interactive universe for World of Warcraft, " said Cheryl Rubin, Senior Vice President - Brand Management at DC Comics. " We are proud to be able to deliver DC Direct ' s expertise in creating and distributing authentic collectibles to World of Warcraft under our new DC Unlimited brand. "

DC Unlimited ' s World of Warcraft collectibles will include PVC vinyl, scaled and articulated figures varying in size. The initial launch will feature a four-figure assortment of 5-8-inch figures, with an additional two-figure set of two 10-12-inch deluxe figures covering the larger characters.

The initial set of figures will include a Blood Elf Rogue, Orc Shaman, Undead Warlock and Dwarf Warrior. The deluxe figures will include a Draenei Paladin and Illidan Stormrage. The first wave of figures is slated to hit comic book, pop culture, mass market, specialty and toy retailers in Fall 2007.

They were prototypes, but they still looked pretty awesome. I might get 'em, or I might wait until my girlfriend gets them (She's been dying for WC figures) so I don't have to. We'll see.

I though he was full of shit until I saw this release. Hes assisting on Vashj right now. The sad thing is that he is not a lore fan and has to ask me questions about her appearance. __________________ There is no right or wrong, only the strong and the weak.

If you're a fan and don't mind displaying them, they look pretty wicked as decoration.

Oh, by the way, here's those prototype pictures:

He said the blizzard rep didnt tell him much when they spoke, other than the fact that she was big. I asked him what he meant by big??? Did he mean in terms of size or importance? Anyways, If hes allowed to, ill grab a few photos. __________________ There is no right or wrong, only the strong and the weak.

But the new ones even in prototype state are great. I would love to have that Orc Shaman beside PC. I hope they will do a Human Paladin in future, i prefer them over Draenei ones. __________________

A two foot tall Kil'jaeden or two foot long Mannoroth, with matching Thrall and Grom figures.

YES PLEASE.

They, by far, are my favorite race of the BL!!!! __________________ There is no right or wrong, only the strong and the weak.
