If you're going to feel a bit nostalgic about the poor guy once Patch 3.3 is past and Cataclysm is upon us, I have to say this statue looks like a pretty good way of remembering him. All the iconic details are there, although from this picture, I have to admit Frostmourne looks a bit... small. Of course, that could be because Arthas is in full hulking out threat display there. Overall, it looks a pretty awe inspiring piece, and hopefully we'll be able to get a closer look at it soon.
There's more toys to come as well, including these intriguing shots straight from the show, which showcase, among other things, Sylvanas, a worgen, a goblin, and a paladin in Judgement armor.

Epic Win. I want that figure SO much I can almost taste it.

Don't lick your figurines, people. The glue's probably poisonous.

Just stands there eh? For some reason, when I read the title I imagined a Lich King toy with Karate Chop Action.

I will be downranked for this. But I must stand for my grammatical beliefs! Even though I face cretin - er, certain persecution and ridicule!
This is correct: "there's some nice shiny..." (Well, I'd love to see a comma after the 'nice', not important)
This is not: "There's more toys to come" (It ought be "There're more toys to come", or alternatively, "Therez moar toyz 2 come")
Also; " I have to admit Frostmourne looks a bit..."
This is actually a continuity error, a break needs to be inserted between 'admit' and 'Frostmourne' to maintain balance such as a seicolon or the word 'that.' i.e. "I have to admit that Frostmourne looks..." or "I have to admit; Frostmourne looks..."
Of course, I am willing to give the internet some scope for creating its own version of English, so long as that distinction is clear. For instance, I would accept; "I haz to admeet Frostmorn lookz... teh smallz."

WTB Edit function. "seicolon" = "semicolon". Gah.

Dude, you caught the second 's/'re issue but skipped the first: "there's some... toys" should be "there are some... toys."

There was a worgen in there somewhere? I saw a trogg, but no worgen. Unless I really missed something. Also disappointed that "Sylvanas" turned out to be a blurry action figure photobomb, not a real focused picture.
Ah well... those that I did see looked pretty cool!

Nevermind. Who links to the *middle* of a photo album these days, really!?

I was personally hoping for a lighting effect which would make white treams of light encircle the sword, like in HoR and the Lichy-encounter itself. But hey, I'll be waiting a while for that, I still haven't even got that pony Ghostcrawler promised me yet. And besides -

I want a Sylvanas action figure and a Jaina action figure so I can act out my femslash fiction while doing both of the voices.
"Oh, Sylvanas, your skin is so cold!"
Lucidien Feb 15th 2010 7:47PM
Thank you for forever burning that image into my mind. You owe me money. Money for the therapy I'll need.

Scarred! Scarred for life! Yet... strangely aroused...
ToyChristopher Feb 15th 2010 7:32PM
Uh... they are a little late. Isn't the lich king like dead or something?
Roddythew Feb 15th 2010 7:40PM
No, Arthas is dead; the Lich King lives (so to speak).
Darksky Feb 15th 2010 8:18PM
@Roddythew:
Shhh! Iz secret. You don't want to look in the fountain.
Lucidien Feb 16th 2010 12:46AM
"Isn't the lich king like dead or something?"
Apparently, or so I heard, what happened at the Frozen Throne was merely a set-back.
Falcon6 Feb 15th 2010 7:44PM
...I want.
I want SO bad.
PeeWee Feb 15th 2010 8:42PM
...and then there was the sound of two thousand geeks, furiously fapping.

Is that a female troll figure in the gallery of shots - with pigtails, braids and FACE PAINT!? Could that be a sign of things to come?? I will try not to get my hopes up but man that is awesome.
