LFG sells a Richard plushie, Resto4Life sells t-shirts

The Richard character on the WoW comic LFG seems to be pretty divisive -- either you want to rip his guts out, or you just can't love the guy enough. For both of you, there's good news: the folks behind the comic have released a plushie of the character, so either you can pick it up and torture it for being such a violent jerk (ah, the irony), or you can love and cuddle the maniac as your own. The item is in pre-order right now, and will supposedly ship in November of this year.And speaking of things you can cuddle, Resto4Life has some sharp new T-shirts in the mix -- they're rocking a Druid "Waffles" design, and the cheetah-skinned "Warsong Flag Carrier" (man I hate those sneaky Druids in WSG), but the best is the "Doncha wish your boyfriend cast 'hots' like me" shirt -- I don't know any boyfriends that would actually wear it, but it made me chuckle. Awesome to see these great fansites hopping with cool swag.
Update: Not to be outdown, our own BigBearButt blogger also has some nice Druid wearables for sale. Don't miss the trucker hat -- perfect for showing off your feral side.

Not sure if LFG counts as a wow comic. It certainly seem'd to start that way and has similarities but it has evolved away from from such. Cute toy none the less.

Huh. Oddly enough, I've never heard a word said *against* Richard; everyone I know who reads the comic says he's their favorite character. (I was active on their Forums quite a while back.)

Already got a Richard on order; I love that guy!
Also, I prefer the Hammer of Grammar "Don'tcha wish your girlfriend was Horde like me" T-Shirt, which my wife wears proudly!

I love Richard!!!
I preordered one of these a few minutes after the site went up. =D If you want one and haven't done so already, preorder NOW! Supposedly they're only putting up the preorder for 2 weeks (although its been up for a month so who knows :P).
FOR PONY!!

The only thing I would change about LFG is that it would come out more... alot more...

Hey, my boyfriend has been drooling over the "cast HoTs like me" shirt for days! I've got the "Horde like me" shirt from Hammer of Grammar, but I'm dreaming of a shirt that would read "Don't you wish your girlfriend were prot like me?"

Yeah I wouldn't count LFG as a WoW comic, or even a Warcraft comic... basically the only similarities are the races of the characters and their basic class abilities (tauren warrior, undead warlock etc). The geography, history, politics and whatnot are completely original, and also completely awesome :D

I thought this too until I started reading the part about Richard's imp, "Hctib Elttil". One of the final comics in that series had Richard launching the imp while the imp was shouting "Can't we all just get along".
If nothing else, the comic definitely appears to take inspiration from WoW, especially the current series talking about gnomes. The author is just being very liberal and very creative with his or her characters.

Unfortunately, I fall in the anti-Richard camp. His character is predictable and completely uninspired. The same could be said for the LFG comic in general.

Odd, I've actually found it more original than, say, many of the plot points in World of Warcraft.

I feel uncaringbear's pain. LFG is basically the end result of too many d&d sessions. It's become this messy soup of generic cliched fantasy.
