Tamuura sports the Tier 6 raid set Tempest Regalia, while Sister Benedron is depicted in Tier 5 Avatar gear with exaggerated shoulder wings; Skeeve Sorrowblade appears to be wearing a highly-detailed version of Deathmantle, the Rogue Tier 5 set; and Quin'thalan Sunfire looks... well, he looks like he's a generic Silvermoon City guard whom you ask for directions. It's a bit disappointing, personally, although I guess it's cool to have a Silvermoon City guard. It would be kind of like having a named Stormtrooper or something. Historically, DC Direct's action figures have appeared in the World of Warcraft comic, so expect one or more of these new figures to make an appearance in the Chris Metzen-approved canon comic series.
More pictures after the jump. So clickety-click, toy lovers (and uh, WoW fans)...
Not quite as hot as the Draenei females in-game, but it's a good substitute if you never got your hands on an Aayla Secura action figure.
"The Auction House is over... there!"
Tier 5 apparently also comes with combat face paint.

There's all ugly..
Why do they make figures of some of the least played class/race combos?
BTW, no Belf Pally has that particular gear combo except for NPCs.
Once again, they will just sit in the bargain bins for $4.99

I won't complain about the detail of these characters. Personally, a friend got his hands on the Thargas Anvilmar figure, gave it to me a week before they were actually being sold in the store, and I was happy to see that the armor actually differed greatly from the in-game version. However, seeing this set, and looking over Anvilmar and the whats-his-face shaman from the comic book (his figureine that is) its just making me angry. I mean, how hard would it be for WoW to give a bit of 'depth' to the armor? Instead of just mashing on a texture over the character model, and bulking out his wrists to represent gauntlets, why can't they do what happened with Guild Wars, where all the armor (even the bloody underwear) had a seperate model from the character? If the in-game models looked a little more like these sculptures, even if its just a flat surface sticking out where a chestplate would be, then the game could probably get some interesting feedback from a world that is quickly outclassing its older graphics.
