warcraft action figures

Collectors come in all stripes, those who  genuinely have a love for what they are  making collections, people who just love the chase of having the ability to complete a collection, and people who hope their investment will sometime pay off.  One doesn’t have to be  among the  enormous players of World of Warcraft to collect its actions figures.  The younger collectors though, or the young at heart, may have a difficult experience resisting the urge to take  the warcraft action figures with their box.  The slightly older players will likely  have the  warcraft action figures coming from of He-Man figures sold while in the 80’s.

You can get four main companies that started manufacturing warcraft figures since Warcraft II.  They’re Blizzard Entertainment, Toycom, State of the Art (SOTA), and DC Direct (of DC Comics).  Out of they then, DC Direct has made the biggest line of figures, twenty five miniatures including very exclusive miniatures, through 2009.

Blizzard, the company behind World of Warcraft, or WoW has only released five miniatures.  These are Human Footman, Orc Grunt, Malfurion Stormrage, Muradin Bronzebeard, and Thrall.

Toycom has produced six figures all from Warcraft 3.  SOTA released only three figures which are: Tauren Shaman, Undead Warlock, and Jungle Troll Voodoo Priest.

DC Direct released its first group of warcraft action figures in 2007.  This first series was comprised of Meryl Felstorm: Undead Warrior, Rehgar Earthfury: Orc Shaman, Valeera Sanguinar: Blood Elf Rogue, and a deluxe figure, Illidan Stormrage: Night Elf Demon Hunter. DC has released five series through the end of 2009.

As Steve Carell’s character, Andy, proved in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, possessing a mint toy collection can be quite a nice investment.  Those unaware of WoW, but trying to find the next “hot” collectible, may want to explore these wow action figures because WoW is really a Guinness World Record holding massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), holding the record for many subscribers, over 11 million.  With that many followers worldwide it’s likely a market will exist in the future for anyone collectors who were able to purchase the warcraft action figures now and keep them.  And unlike the He-Man figures these WoW action figures are not currently being mass produced and sold in retail outlets.
