StarCraft II Raynor Vinyl Figure for BlizzCon 2009
The StarCraft II "Raynor" figure will be the first in a new line of "n00bz", a new series of customizable and collectible Blizzard Entertainment-inspired designer vinyl toys. Standing 6.25 inches tall, the Raynor is rocking his signature StarCraft II battlesuit, nine points of articulation, a BlizzCon '09 shoulder mark, Easter-egg Horde and Diablo III symbols, a four-color collector's edition box, and a excellently huge Gauss rifle accessory.
(Priced at US$30 per) The platform figure was developed and sculpted by Bigshot Toyworks for Blizzard Entertainment. The Raynor is the first figure in the "n00bz" series, and will only be available in this year's goody bag! CLICK THRU to read more!
Available for sale at BlizzCon will be three other designs of "n00bz" figures, from the winners of a world-wide contest by Blizzard Entertainment. In April, Blizzard invited their employees to take home blank n00bz and customize them with their own Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo themed artwork. Over 250 entries later, Blizzard selected three incredible designs! The results will be available for sale in limited quantities at BlizzCon '09. Blank "n00bz" will also be available for anyone who wants to try their hand at creating their own custom figure!
The first three production "n00bz" are: "Fury of Ragnaros" by John Butkus (World of WarCraft Team), "Ghoulash" by Oliver Chipping (Diablo III Team), and "Murloc Madness" by Julian Lefvebre (Diablo III Team). These figures will be available for $30 each during BlizzCon.
