I’ll admit I felt like a WoW geek when I picked this up. This item, however, is quite simply a work of art in my opinion. The expression and the posture are intense and the detail is very noticeable. From an art standpoint, I have no criticisms.
Now, on to the production of the item itself. The unit does not have any points of articulation save the wrist joints thereby allowing you to position the shield and the sword to your liking. The arrows are separately packaged and you need to stick them in the slots provided on the shield and the leg. The arrow that goes on the thigh comes with a flimsy arrowhead unlike the ones that are meant for the shield (which are just shafts without a pointy head). The arrowhead snapped right away as I tried to push it in the unit’s leg. This was immensely frustrating. I did manage to fit the remaining shaft of the arrow in the leg but isn’t as sturdy as the ones on the shield. Why they couldn’t provide the same kind of fitting mechanism for the leg I may never know.
The arrows aside, the unit has a couple of minor issues. There is a small gap between the head and the torso. It doesn’t bother me much, largely because its not noticeable due to the posture of the unit, but it may be annoying for some. Also, the unit doesn’t rest flat on its feet. The weight distribution tips it backwards slightly. My friends occasionally grab the figure to check it out and when they put it back, they typically rest it on its heels and the bottom hem of the cloak (like a tripod).
Having said all that, I still love this piece. I used to play WoW and Warriors were my favorite class. I don’t have time for WoW anymore but this action figure reminds me of good times and epic raids with my friends.

Love to play WOW, thought I would try collecting figures for the game. This is the first one I ordered, and was very pleased with the material it was made of, the detail on the figure and the overall size. I already put a bunch more on my wish list.
Of course, a highly detailed figure like this is meant more to stir the imagination than to survive rough play (especially given the arrows one has to stick in, one of which regrettably lost its arrowhead when it tried to fit unsuccessfully in its assigned hole). That said, the figure certainly stirs the imagination (its details are a cartoonist’s dream, or nightmare depending on your point of view), and if you leave the arrows out, it seems remarkably durable. No joints articulate save the wrist joints, but that’s all one needs to make this dramatically posed warrior nuanced in his berserker menace.
