Upper Deck has announced an official release date for the WoW Miniatures game, and surprise, it's in early November, too (it's going to be a busy couple of months for WoW fans). You'll be able to buy a four-figure starter set or a three-figure booster pack in stores on November 11th -- we're not sure about the prices yet, but if the MSRP we saw a while back hasn't changed, they'll end up at around $20-25 for starter packs, and $10-15 for boosters. Each starter will also contain a sampler of the WoW TCG cards, and while we haven't heard anything about ingame loot items for the minis game, those samplers may have some Loot cards in them if you're lucky.
Upper Deck also was kind enough to provide us with a preview of a few figures from the set, including some concept and reference art for some of the characters and figures. You can see it all in the gallery below -- there's a nice sampling of characters from the MMO game, a few from the TCG, and even some new character types from Northrend in there. Looks like fun.

/facepalm @ the Irana picture comments.
I LOL'd, but it was still a facepalm

Poor Varimathas.. the very day he gets a shiny new model they put a release date on a miniature that will immortalize his inferior form.

WoW Boxers - would bring a whole new meaning to "epeen".
Sorry, couldn't resist.
The murloc looks pretty cool - I'd grab one of those - the others seem...underwhelming?

Lol at Lamont.
And stevens, perhaps they would have some kind of codpiece.
Bring back the codpiece!

One of the geeks that works at the local geek store told me he saw the preview of these at Comic Con, and he said that Upper Deck said these Minis will have loot cards "at a higher rate" than the TCG. Don't know if it's true but he sounded like he knew what he was talking about in a geeky sort of way.

I like how Varimathas is doing heavy metal horns with both hands.

People actually buying this stuff? O.o

Plastic miniatures are always garbage. Keep in mind that these are the best models they had available, and the retarded Malaysian kid that paints yours doesn't do nearly that good a job.
I hope if they intend to venture into the territory of miniatures, they will put the effort into making unpainted metal miniatures. There are great sculptors all over the place that need work.
Let me just state again that these are going to be crap.
