5 Stars The way all WoW figures should be
This is the Tuskaar collectible action figure in the World of Warcraft line. Those who are familiar with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion will be very familiar with this creature and his place in the game lore. As for the figure itself, it is one of the better models in the WoW collector line, not only by the quality of the sculpt, but the overall quality of the figure entirely. First of all, this figure has some mass to it that makes it the most sturdy of any of the WoW figures I currently own. If you have any of this series (or the earlier ones), you will know that there have been complaints about the action figures not standing on their own too well, often falling over at the slightest movement of the surface you display them upon. This is very founded on many of the line, but I am happy to report that this is not so with the Tuskaar. He is very well balanced, with a broad footprint that makes him nealry ‘fall’ proof. This is great news for the series as they have been plagued with issues as some of the others simply won’t stand on their own.
As for the sculpt itself and paint on the figure, this is a great product with some nice details not easily seen in the pictures you find on the web. E.g., his tusks are carved with runes, he carries a drinking horn, and his other possessions make him a real delight to display. He also has considerable weight to him (part of the sturdiness mentioned above) that makes this figure just ‘feel’ like quality.
Being an avid fan and collector of the computer game, I enjoyed the quests within World of Warcraft helping these jovial ‘walrus’ people (the Kalu’ak) battle the seaweed vikings (the Kvaldir) and becoming their friend and champion. In return, they awarded me with my penguin companion, and I was very happy to add this action figure to my collection as a reminder of the great stories springing from the quests within the game. My good friend Tavru Akua here sits on my nightstand now, and when I leave for work in the morning, he often brings a smile to my face.
