Vellie: The picture is the one that DC Unlimited provided for the figure.

While the breastplate may appear similar to Thunderheart, it’s more likely simply a generic thing. It’s rather similar to the one on the old Tauren shaman figure. It looks like they were just going for a Tauren look.

Besides, he’s holding a crossbow, which is rather un-druid-ish.

The figure pictured on that site is NOT a Hunter. It’s wearing Druid Tier 6 aka Thunderheart. :(

I have to disagree here. I have them all and Illidan isn’t small by any stretch of the imagination. He isn’t as “thick” as the orc or the NE druid but he’s taller and wider and his wings DO add enormous size to him. Maraad, the Drae Pally is bigger than any of the “regular” figures by half. He’s BIG. Your post makes it out like there’s little to no difference. There really is. If the tauren is THAT much bigger to necessitate a 33% price jump over the last two deluxe (( and it’s not just inflation)) then he’s going to be massive. Now.. with gas prices making other prices jump, everything from Milk to action figures it might just be that, but if not, if the 33% jump in price is due to 33% more figure there, that taruen is going to be close to a foot tall and wide.

I personally think the ‘lack of pet’ is due to these being “Wow” figures and not “Animal” figures. And with over 100 different pets be it color or family or details and what not, they couldn’t make a pet that appeased everyone. If they made it a cat, all the boar and ravager people would complain, if they made a turtle people would bitch about it not being great, if it was a spore bat people would complain ect ect ect. So they’re making the FIGURE.

Course we could be wrong. The thing’s not due out till christmas. Maybe they will give us a pet?

I was hoping for a Tauren deluxe figure. I got the Broll Bearmantle one yesterday. The Illidan figure is relatively small as it’s his wings that are huge (and damn impractical for most shelves) The Draenei deluxe figure is a big bugger but nicely detailed. I think the lack of pet is down to the cost. The scale of these figures s pretty huge. I know my Bear would be massive. Perhaps they should go for a female Dwarf hunter as it would be the smallest hunter figure and then you might be able to include a pet.

Seemed really what? Really good? Really Bad? Really furry? Not saying you’re a dork, but you’re missing some words in your post. :)

Um, I know this is going to make me sound like the dork that I am but Toyfare did a think about the new up and coming figures for WoW and the Tauren Hunter picture seemed really so I don’t know why you seem to think it’s not.

I imagine, much like the Drae Pally and Illidan it’s going to be about twice as much if not more plastic. Illidan was close to 15 or 16 inches tall if you put his wings on him. Maraad was BIG and THICK and HEAVY. The Tauren looks bigger than both. (( not Illidan’s wings but still)) He might just be a truely massive chunck of plastic with all that intricate tooling. To be honest that’s what I believe he is. I do not think we’re getting a pet with him. He’s just BIG.

It could be worse.. they could give him a pet and make it something ugly…. (( insert the pet you think is the ugliest/stupidest here))

No pet? Well, that’s not hard to fix. Just get an animal figure from one of those dollar-store grab-bags (Y’know, the ones that say “Zoo Assortment” or whatnot) and a little model-paint…
