Sideshow Collectibles and Blizzard Entertainment are proud to introduce the World of Warcraft diorama series with this epic first release. The diorama is based on artwork that was released as a teaser to the game’s expansion pack in January 2007, The Burning Crusade. It captures the ferocious battle between a Blood Elf Rogue and a Draenei Paladin, celebrating the addition of the two new races.

The diorama features an incredible amount of detail and realism, as the artwork and in-game models have been translated to full three-dimensional reality. The artists at Sideshow worked closely with the team at Blizzard to bring this piece to life, sculpted in approximately 1:9 scale. Each piece is hand-cast in high quality polystone, individually finished and hand-painted to exacting standards. The World of Warcraft Diorama is complete with a hand-numbered individual edition number on the bottom side of the base. Don’t miss this opportunity to begin your collection of limited edition World of Warcraft Dioramas.
