I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

You just can't cast things like Arthas' helmet in polystone for mass production, it'd be nightmare for breaks.....as would all the other spikes on him and delicate pieces...

That's why bits of illidan like his hair etc are cast in the same material, it looks the same but you get none of the headaches with breaks.
It's not the spikes, i think the spike was actually not pvc if i remember correctly (he's in box so can't check). It's everything else - his big sword was completely cheap plastic that looked horrible close up, among many other parts.

If blizzard made this i can 100% guarantee his sword will NOT be plastic. It's just typical sideshow shortcuts to save some production cost.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Illidan Stormrage 1:5 Statue 2233/5000 - Blizzard

What a great statue! I thought I had missed out on it because it wasn't available for purchase during Blizzcon but I checked last week and grabbed it. The details are amazing, it's has great presence and it's very smartly made in the sense that for all the little things that could break it's made sturdy and 'plastic' were it makes sense.
The cherry on the cake really is that it's $350! I know it's 1:5 but I have no doubt SSC would have charged close to $500 for the same piece.
All in all I love it and can't wait for the next Blizz statue..... but I need more space!
