Third Party Figures

Sexy Ice showing off some stuff. Black version of Smasher (pass, still don't like the sports styling, but good for those who missed him) plus the dogs (those I want, they look incredible), the previously shown ant dude and Kamen Rider dude (50/50 on those, want to see them in color), and a new crash test dummy like figure which I gotta say I really want for some reason.



 
Soooo, I think I've decided to just eat the deposit on this one. Too cartoony for my tastes, especially without the armor, and I've got too much other stuff that I'm more interested in.


ill pass, i know he gotta be big but he is too big. the polar bear size is better from classified plus that huge bear is suppose to be a mounted animal so that explains his size.
 
I, contrariwise, need it for WoW because I have fond memories of slamming through Zul Aman.

One guild on my server had it down to a science to beat the timer for the bear bonus. You'd pay them to do the work once a week.

Then the GMs wife was revealed to have an affair with an officer, and that officers wife was in charge of DKP records (loot claim currency the players made up on the side) and nuked the records, throwing them into disarray. And then there were like four other affairs within that officers circle.

And they died and some left the server and no one could cheese the bear runs anymore.

Toy wise, he's gotta work for Trolls and Tauren and everything everyone has done is 1/10. But it also just looks ripped from the game. I love it.

To be fair I think I actually understood some of that. Mainly the part about messy guilds where nobody can keep it in their pants.
 
The bear is a third party off licence product representing a cosmetic mount (speed boost) you can earn in World of Warcraft.

The cartoony snarl to the armour is all pulled directly from the game art. The armour is styled after how that franchise envisions their troll culture.

In World of Warcraft you participate in 10 to 40 player content called raids where you and a group of other people fight choreographed bosses and figure out how to beat them.

In 2009 one of these contents was called Zul Aman. In the lore it was a fabled lost troll society. The trolls in the franchise are very much hoodoo voodoo Islander stereotypes. They speak with Caribbean accents. So this lost tribe was in the middle of this cursed forest and had summoned a blood God. You could take 19 other people with you into this place to get treasure.

There was also a time trial. If your group could complete the entire dungeon in a certain time limit, you would all be awarded this bear.

That was the only way to get it.

It was tough.

And a big part of this game is just looking cool in your rare armour with your rare pets and your rare mounts, so it was very popular to just sit in a public place and flex that you had one.

So that is the source of this bear. It will look good with the off licence Dark Banshee Queen and Orcs and Death Knight and Warlocks that are made in a 1/10 scale by 2 or 3 different companies at this point but clearly are meant to be one unofficial line.

World of Warcraft is over 20 years old at this point. Put in maybe 7 years off and on. But I have a soft spot for their art style and main characters.

And this bear is as important to me and a formative part of a former life as Optimus prime or Batman is to everyone else.

You just did the impossible and made me miss WoW.
 
I miss the idea of it. It goes away anytime I've sat down with it.
I think what I miss most is my vary lazy RP-heavy friends who used it like a pretty chat room. I was never into raids and all that, just the slow plod of leveling up with a guild that wasn't in a rush to do ANYTHING. None of them play MMOs anymore, I think.
