Hey I love action figures as much as the next person. I’ve got boxes full of various action figures from my favorite comics, cartoons, etc. I’ve also have fantasy miniatures of both the metal and plastic variety, so I get it. But I was still a bit taken aback to see this latest WoW related idea pop up on the net.
Apparently this company will take a screenshot of your character (or video possibly) in any gear you want to put them in (so pull out all those cool epics and legendary items sitting in your bank that suck for stats but look cool). They will then use sophisticated ninja magic to render the character and ultimately make a miniature of your figure. It then lands on your doorstep in a glass dome a week or two later.
Is the figure plastic? Metal? How large? What’s the cost? Great questions gang - but you can’t know until December 11, the magic date when the site officially goes live for business. I’ll have to admit it sounds intriguing and I’ll probably look at further information once it’s available. I definitely wouldn’t mind having my Tauren Shaman, Khardamon, as a nice figurine in my collection. And if they do quality work, I could see that potentially being huge as people want a keepsake from their WoW days, and of their favorite characters, in a more tangible form.
Of course it could also be a total disaster and completely bomb. Only time will tell. Now I’m off to make sure my hermetically sealed action figures are all safety tucked away.

It’s a really neat idea. In the past I’ve wished to immortalize my MMOG characters in some way. The best I’ve been able to do is take screenshots of them and store them in a folder. Maybe this company will expand into other games. I would absolutely pay for one.
