As if somehow sensing that there might be some meager amount of money in my pocket left over from the holidays,
DC has released the proofs for the next series of
World of Warcraft figures for us all to covet and add to our Wish Lists! Pictured from left to right are:
- Human Warrior - Archilon Shadowheart
- Night Elf Druid - Broll Bearmantle
- Troll Priest - Zabra Hexx
Additionally, the site lists a
Gnome Warrior named Sprocket Gyrospring as being part of this next set of figures. Sadly, I couldn't find an image of him out there as yet. I suppose he's either lost somewhere behind all that Druid gear, or the Troll made some Gnome stew.
In any event, these fantastic new figures are set to go on sale on February 20th, 2008. Luckily, this gives me more than enough time to clear off some shelf room in my office for them --
and Illidan!

These are all well and good, but where is the HUMAN MAGE?!?!?
Futura Jun 20th 2007 12:07PM
OMG finally a gnome!
Maybe Blizzard isn't racist afterall.

The gnome's there. You just can't see him 'cause he's so short :D.

Ima guess Series 3 will include either a Blood Elf Male Mage, or perhaps a Gnome Mage. Then a Female Night Elf Hunter, or possibly Dwarf. Tauren....Shaman or Druid?
Seriously though, lack of female figures better be changed by series 3. -_-

@4
guess that female Belf Rogue didn't do anything for you?
i'll agree though there should be at least one female included per series. Unless its a female dwarf, gnome or ... well any non Belf Horde.

Gnome mages suck.

Come on, where's the link to the site where the images came from?
Anyway, those are really cool. I would definitely buy them if I had money to throw away.
I like how they're using gear that's actually in the game on these characters. I've got a few of the very first action figures (Thrall, Malfurion, and a ridiculously huge Magni) and, though awesome, their gear isn't something you can see normally in WoW.

Haha, cool. Too bad humans don't look even remotely that cool in game.

She's okay, hehehe.
Ya know, now that I think of it, maybe Sprocket could actually be a Pink Pigtailed FEMALE Gnome Warrior, hehehe.
She better be wearing goggles.

Baluki --
Any time we reference a source site where we also get the image, we include the link at the bottom where it says
[via $SOURCE]
So all you ever need to do is head for those "via" tags.
@ Synergii - I'd love to have a female Gnome figure too. I'm actually hoping eventually that they do all the race/class combinations. Yes, that's a lot of figures, but who wouldn't like one of their race/class combo? (And we are talking about marketing at the core of this after all...)

Once again WoW Insider half-asses their story.
Not only is this news a good three days behind, you forgot a whole product, the deluxe Draenei Paladin.
What, do you guys just phone it in during hot-pocket breaks? First you have class columns written by people who barely play their classes, now this? I can't believe you all get paid for this bollocks.

I wish they had spent more time getting the first series out before they started creating a new series.
