If you're looking for a few action figures for the kid in you or the kid in somebody else, these cover the postmodern kid-young adult demographic perfectly. If he or she's a gaming nut or just wants to kill vampires, these are for you. These are going to be real crowd pleasers. Blizzard, the computer game company that's super famous for its realtime strategy games Warcraft, Warcraft II, and Starcraft, has been having fans beg them to make toys out of their games for the longest time. So, for Christmas, you're looking at five figures, designed by the Dan Platt of Solid Image Works, who also designed some of the Aliens Resurrection toys, as well as those in the Starship Troopers line.
All figures are fully poseable, and are detailed quite nicely.
Currently, this is the only run Blizzard's going to produce, but if it sells well, it does have other toys in the queue. Unfortunately, if you're expecting little Xanders, Willows, or Buffys to put under the tree this December, we lied. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer toy line won't be ready until early 1999. Moore Action Collectibles, which does the Witchblade toys, has just received the license to make Buffy toys, which means that any designs or production work will skip past Christmas. We just thought it'd be cool to let you know.
