Diablo, World of Warcraft, but no mention of Starcraft. Hoping one day someone will pick up licenses to the Warcraft and Starcraft RTS games.

No specific mention of Overwatch either. The game's hype is long gone but I'm hoping someone picks up the brand to finish the roster after Hasbro and Figma dropped it.. it's still missing several of the core characters.

Sweet. Can't wait for 4 figures in the line and then McFarlane quits.

McF and Blizzard, a match made in hell.
Will they make figures of stealing breast milk and sexual harassment play features? Only time will tell. |

do not make enough Money, they instantly cancel the Line. Very Shitty tactic of McFarlane. They just need to find the best Characters and produce them, instead of cancelling the entire Line in the middle. |

I'm desperate enough for good WoW and Diablo figures that I'm going to suspend my usual cynicism of McFarlane and just hope this is a good, long lasting line.

Dramatic reenactment of a McFarlane Toys meeting:
Designer 1: Have you seen some of the crazy figures they make in Japan now? Designer 2: Yes! 30+ points of articulation on a 6” figure is crazy! Todd: Pff… I have a concept that blows them away. Designer 1: 45 points of articulation? Designer 2: AI controlled self posing action figures? Todd: None of that. Just this… ready…. Guys should sit down… ONE DYNAMIC POSE! Designer 1: Uh… Todd, sir… they’ve been doing that since like, Ancient Greece… Designer 2: Or ancient Babylonians… Todd: There’s the door… Both designers in unison: One DYNAMIC pose! So simple yet elegant! A must for shelves worldwide! It’ll revolutionize the collectibles industry!

Misleading topic name. These are statues, not figures.
Anyway, not bad designs, pity they are from the worst Diablo game so far. Gimme Diablo II Resurrected figures, then we can talk. |

I believe that the reasoning behind not going for action figures is the sheer amount of gear they wanted to represent with the ability to eventually mix-and-match something resembling your own loadout; fully-articulated figures would quintuple the parts count and not be financially feasible unless this was one of the biggest toylines of the decade.
I personally don't trust McFarlane to commit to a licensed property to any real degree, DC excepted, and don't think this will pan out. I would like to be wrong, though, Diablo fans need a win! |

I thought McFarlane said in an interview that "this was the license we were able to get" implying they couldn't get the action figure license?
The gear reason makes some sense but they could have picked the iconic heritage armours or something. I've just got no interest in statues personally so I won;t be buying any of these. If the first wave had been, say, Thrall with male and female orc and humans in heritage armour I would have army built both

If I've been misinformed then damn, because that idea seemed like the only advantage to how they were doing these. :/

You could be entirely right, I might just be reading too much into an offhand comment McFarlane made

Definitely seems like an instance of statues being all they were able to get for the license. But I dont know what other company has a license for figures.

Neca didn't do a great job with the liscence. They did ok. But it was like they took the characters and made them anime. Hero toys big devil is great..glad I got 2. Pre-ordered Demon Killer..its great looking.
