Grom was the reason the Orcs joined the Burning Legion (demons) in the first place. Hence why the new WoW expansion is about going back in time and having Grom choose not to side with the Legion.

I do not know if that means he is 'more' important, I think they are equal in their own ways. Without Arthas, you are missing a lot also. How he became the Liche King, what is he did as, etc...

But.. He's supposed to be green, right? :S
Unless he changed colour somewhere during the WOW-games.

[The Mule]

In WC3 he and his fellows were tainted by the Burning Legion and became red, in a point of the storyline... then they are healed and Grom and Thrall join to beat the s**t out of Mannoroth.
The statue could be based on that specific part or they could be rebooting Grom's physique to be more realistic and aggressive, that magenta/brown surely is better than the fancy green.

By your logic of them making a statue of him equating to his importance, who came first? Lol

And Grom isn't the reason for the Orcs joining the legion. Gul'dan was. If not Grom, any of the orcs behind him not named Orgrim were drinking the blood.

Yeah, Grom is a great fallen and redemption story, but he's not more important than Arthas. Your criteria fits Arthas too. Strong, pure hearted, and then driven mad by his desire to destroy the burning legion.

And Perma, we aren't going back in time to stop Grom from drinking the blood and joining the legion. Garrosh has already done that. We are going back in time, and in turn, an alternate reality to stop Grom from coming into our world. Garrosh didn't run to him to save his family name. He ran to him to introduce him to Siege warfare and to invade current day Azeroth.

By the way guys, I'm pretty certain this isn't a Sideshow piece. This sculpt was made in-house by Blizzard, and Blizzard is starting to produce pieces themselves as seen by their Tracer statue from Overwatch.

Oh nice! Didn't lnow they were doing Overwatch statues, the game looks all kinds of awesome and i'ld definately like a few of them in statue form.

Tracer is priced really nice at $150 and they even include an AC Adapter, which always pleases me.

IF Blizzard can start to pump out quality WoW and Diablo statues them selves at decent prices i'll be all over them!

[TheStig88]

Oh snap, I didn't catch the Overwatch statues either. I think I might just have to pick up Tracer. Looks right on the money as far as the size/price goes, let's just hope the quality is there.

[CtrlAltElite]

Still waiting for DW. I'm def all over this!

I'm pretty sure Brian Fay sculpted all recent Blizzard/Sideshow statues.
