World of Warcraft Action Figures

Blood Elves in the palm of your handDC Comics is branching out their action figure department, which as they announced recently will include World of Warcraft action figures.  Thank god, is all I can say, as now when you’re simply forced to go on that family vacation to the middle of no-where with absolutely not contact to the internet, you can continue the adventures of Stumpy the wonder-dwarf!

It’s really not a bad idea, in all honesty, but everything depends on the quality of the action figures.  So far DC hasn’t been skimping on the quality, but we’ll see how they fair when handling other company’s franchises. 

The World of Warcraft collectibels will vary in size with multiple points of articulation. For the launch, four-figure assortments of 5-8-inch figures and two additional deluxe figures 10 to 12 inches in size will be available. DC Unlimited has let us know the initial set of figures will include a Blood Elf Rogue, Orc Shaman, Undead Warlock and Dwarf Warrior. The deluxe figures will include a Draenei Paladin and Illidan Stormrage.

We’ll post images of the ‘action figures’ as soon as they’re revealed later this month at New York’s American International Toy Fair.
