Get a figure!
Oh my, we just knew it had to happen sooner or later. Nothing can stay
purely digital forever, and thanks to a new service coming soon for all you
wonderful and understanding World of Warcraft fans out there, it looks
yet another of your dreams is about to become reality.
No, you still won't be able to magically eradicate foes and slaughter random
critters to earn experience points (darn), but all that work you put into making
your character avatar extra-boffo are about to pay off in plastic molded style!
Full licensed by parent company Blizzard and winning the endorsements of mages
and dwarves the (virtual) world over,
FigurePrints will allow users to turn your virtual selves into beautifully
rendered, customized figurines using state-of-the art technology and let you be
the envy of your entire clan - for the trifling amount of $100 (that's
real-world money, sorry gold diggers).
Here's how easy and understandably cool the process is, straight from the
source:
1. Select your character:
Tell us your character name and realm and we will take a snapshot of your
character as he/she is today.
2. Outfit your gear:
We give you the option of outfitting any of the gear that you currently possess
for that character. Pick and choose the gear that shows them at their most epic!
3. Order your figure:
Then let us create your fully customized WoW character using our 3D modeling and
next-gen fabrication techniques.
For all you warriors out there interested, the service goes live December
11th and not a moment too soon! With this holiday season looking to be the
hottest in years (there's irony for ya) and the game in question more popular
than ever, this could be the perfect gift for all you weary-world travelers and
those who just don't get it one step closer to bridging the digital divide.
For more information on the service, why not check out the official site with
just a click on the pic below? C'mon, you know you want to!
