He has, but he is now a part of Blizzard officially since 2012.


But I was saying that this is in-house as nothing indicates any Sideshow involvement i.e. no Sideshow Placards, etc.

Just to show this incredible trio of Arthas, Deathwing and Grommash

awesome, cause I rather have sideshow not do this.

Confirmation of it being a Blizzard production. Let's see what some competition can do for Sideshow. I love how Blizzard is even keeping it in scale.

Could this mean Sideshow's Blizzard license will end?

Maybe. But with Blizz having a product available for pre-order immediately (Tracer Statue) and coming soon (Grommash in the next month), I don't know if that is a bad thing. As long as the quality is consistent and the scale is similar, which it appears to be, I wouldn't mind.

Maybe there is a link with the Deathwing delay? Blizzard is going do it yourself? The Tracer statue is nice, what is it, 1/6? Interesting. I'll shoot them an email for international shipping, hopefully they have an EU warehouse.

Almost there with Deathwing! It's looking more positive that it will get a release before the end of the year. *fingers crossed*

Blizzard already has a new Overwatch Tracer statue up for preorder:

What I meant is: maybe Deathwing is the last Blizzard piece distributed by Sideshow. That's why it's been delayed (and we know that it's been Blizzard that pushed for the delay, Alex stated that too).
Did a quick check on Blizzard website, the shipping rates are good ($38 for shipping the 25 pounds hammer replica to Italy, even better than Sideshow's), the pricing on the Tracer statue is nice as the statue herself, it should be around 1/6 or 1/7 scale and polystone, definitely not bad.
