Illidan says: You are not prepared (for my coolness)

Somewhere out there, one of my guild-mates is about to squeal with glee. For that matter, so am I... if only internally.For you see, buying Collectors Edition Boxed-Set versions of the game, trading card game packs, t-shirts and stickers just isn't enough for my collectable-loving little heart. DC and Blizzard have ensured that I will once again break down into a puddle of "that is SO COOL" in front of my fellow gamer geeks. (Well, okay, maybe only in front of the fellow geeks who happen to frequent my favorite local comic book store, but I digress...)
Sure, we knew back in February that the Illidan Stormrage figure was coming out. We even had an idea of the rough look of the statue. And considering the already drool-worthy things we've seen from the DC World of Warcraft line, we knew it was going to have to be cool. But now we have the final picture of what the new figurine is going to look like. Much like the others in the DC figure line, it is truly a (SO COOL) thing of beauty.
Mind you, I can't speak for anyone else - or ultimately that guild-mate of mine who is probably noting the December 19th release date even now - but I know what just landed on my holiday wish list!
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to go invest in some earplugs before the squealing starts up over Vent.

I'm disappointed at the lack of pandas on his blades...

I seriously wasn't prepared for this but by X-Mas, I WILL BE PREPARED! As for you Illidan, be prepared to start collecting dust on the table!

$16.99, just like the other five figures. Five I say? Why yes! The First Four
Unpainted Draenei paladin
Note that the dwarf warrior has changed considerably since its prototype version so don't be surprised if that paladin changes

Is this Krystalle's first post? First time I have seen the name pop up! Anyways, good post, of course, I am in no position to "welcome" people here, but welcome!!!
Krystalle Apr 18th 2007 5:48PM
Strongmark: It is indeed my first post! Thanks for the welcome!
Chris: I didn't have a price on it at the time I wrote the story. Looks like rebelspyder helped both of us out, as I still haven't been able to make it down to my local comic store as yet. But you can bet I'm going to get them to put in an order for me when I drop by to pick up my pull!

Yes, Strongmark, this is Krystalle's first post, and she's the first of the bloggers and columnists that we've chosen to hire from the last round of applications. More info coming soon, including an official welcome. Meanwhile, we figured we'd just let her sneak in first :)
