November 2019 marks the 25th anniversary of the Warcraft® universe, and instead of doing a typical BlizzCon® Goody Bag as we have in past years, we’d like to commemorate the occasion by providing BlizzCon attendees a distinctly Azerothian memento.

We’re excited to announce that everyone who buys a ticket to attend this year’s BlizzCon will receive their choice of a special BlizzCon 2019 Commemorative Collectible—one of two premium statues in the style of the Blizzard Legends series, celebrating a quarter century of Warcraft’s timeless central conflict. Take up arms alongside the mighty Orc Grunt, or side with the bold Human Footman!

IMPORTANT! You’ll need to decide which statue you want at the time you purchase your tickets on May 4 or May 8. We’ll be producing quantities for pickup at BlizzCon based on what people choose, and locking in your selection now helps us ensure we’ll have everyone’s statue ready in time for the show!

Zug zug! Mark the 25th anniversary of Warcraft with this mighty axe-wielding Orc Grunt.

Ready for action! Honor the legends of Azeroth with the fierce and noble Human Footman.

Since statue choices are locked in at the time of ticket purchase, make sure to sync up with family and friends in advance to determine which one everyone wants. BlizzCon attendees will pick up their preselected statues with their badges at the show—and keep in mind that if you choose to transfer tickets (find out more), the selected statue will stay connected to that ticket.

In addition, anyone who wants either statue (or both!) will be able to purchase the Orc Grunt and Human Footman for a limited time on the Blizzard Gear Store starting May 4. Statues purchased during this window will be shipped directly to your home around the time of BlizzCon. Stay tuned for more details.

Here’s to 25 years of Warcraft—we’re looking forward to celebrating with you at BlizzCon!

New raid boss confirmed.Comment by SnakeslickI'd love to have one of these little guys. They might not look that good in other people opinion, but they have to mass-produce all of this, so it's understandable. Either way, won't be able to get one, but damn these look hotComment by GilneanRaven(cat not included)Comment by NazarusGGthats beautiful

i mean the cat, those toys are crap plain and simpleComment by Wraknarthats beautiful

Cat 100% is a Night Elf stuck in cat formComment by DeihjanFor a Blizzcon collectible I was expecting more. This looks like something they would sell off the regular store.

Reminder that the DC Comics World of Warcraft figurines are much higher quality AND mass produced.

I love my Succubus and Draenei Mage figurines.Comment by Pyrite13Blizzcon statues should be 10 feet tall and carved out of marble. Or they should just give everyone a car. If I paid hundreds of dollars for a ticket I expect more than just admission to the event. It's like how concert tickets come with a free guitar and drum set.Comment by LostelfOverpriced tat.Comment by karrotmanBlizzcon statues should be 10 feet tall and carved out of marble.

But, I'd probably value them at $20-$35 personally as, to me, they just aren't worth $45 (let alone their marked up "store-price" of $55), since I could go and get a similarly-sized Funko Vinyl figure for, well, $20-$35.

The appearance of quality seems equivalent for me to that of the aforementioned Funko Vinyl figures- a softer plastic with some very moderate pastel colours.

The quality, and the decision to push these statues at all, has me worried for Blizzcon this year, since it is growing evermore apparent that the company is growing more and more out of touch with the community and its desires. I'm very cynical about Acti-Blizzard these days, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they aren't so out of touch as to ignore the outcry which has been burning since the November of last year.

P.S. As another proud member of the Horde, I agree with Rankkor's assessment:

... as a proud horde member, I'm upset that the alliance statue is shown stomping on our glorious banner, but the orc statue isn't allowed to stomp that filthy alliance rag.Comment by Pyrite13Blizzcon statues should be 10 feet tall and carved out of marble.

Whatever plastic they used looks really cheap, like the sort of plastic that Reaper uses to make miniatures. I can even see some mold lines and the orc's axe already looks bent.
