12 in all. Me want.

Firebat looks ok, but otherwise, they look pretty crappy compared to the originals. :/

*gags*

Ugly, I never liked star/war-craft so I only would enjoy the Diablo 2 ones. But they only give a necromancer that looks un-authentic and the rest are useless enemies that I crushed with my unstoppable power! So I won't be buying any, videogame figures are WAY overpriced anyway......

[mew barios]

they should make some of the undead into figures. why no undead?

[Malevolent]

The firebat? Are you fucking blind? Arthas and Grom all the way, man!

While they're really cool in the game, I think the figures are pretty weak representations.

I've always thought Blizzard should get McFarlane to make their toys instead. There's only been a few figures I ever thought were pretty decent... the original Starcaft Terran Marines, for example, were done pretty well (the mail-away war-pig looked was cool too). But over all, their figures are definitely weak for a company that does so well.

To any of you who want to buy these particular new ones, just wait a few months and you'll be able to get 'em for 3-5 bux in the bargain bin at most video game stores.

[Malevolent]

I've seen 'em in a few bins. Considered buying Muradin, but decided not to :/

[Zbu Manowar]

Dwarf Rifleman? Fuck yeah, that's getting my money for strangeness alone. That and Firebat.



Shit, he even has a fucking Charles Bronson/Death Wish look on his face. Brilliant!

Rog, it should also be pointed out that final details are subject to change. These are early pieces. But I think a good amount of them look good.

[Mockery]

It should also be pointed out, that the figures that they put up for display in their advertisements always look 100% better than the figures that are actually released.

[James]

I see what the problem is. You're afriad that the rest of your figures will be sad if placed next to the awesomeness of Tichondrius or a Firebat.

They're just toys, Rog. They can't feel inferior, no matter how lame they are compared to these guys.

[Ninjavenom]

Arthas and Hydralisk.

[FS]

Tichondrius

Arthas doesn't really look buff enough. In the game it's kinda exaggerated, but I liked that. Grom seems a bit thin too.

The Starcraft figures don't look like proper representations of their game equivalents, to me. The Firebat has no soot on his face, and the paint on his suit is all wrong. The Hydralisk's face doesn't look right.

[James]

Perhaps once you see larger images or get a hands-on look at the figures, you'll see that they're just as good as previous ones.

As for the new SC figures, it could be that they're made to represent the looks of the units in SC: Ghost.

[Zomboid]

I want tassadar and hydralisk/zergling

[AChimp]

The Hydralisk is hella cool, and so's Tichondrius. The Firebat is also kinda neat, but it would have been way better if they made his face look like that of a crazed maniac rather than just a guy with a big moustache.

Maybe a crazed maniac with a big moustache and a big cigar.

and who says authentic warcraft/starcraft "annoyed" phrases
