It depends on the depiction of thrall. I don't like his fat, goofy face in the most recent cinematics, which this sculpted face most closely resembles I guess.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that this statue's portrait was supposed to be based on this classic piece of artwork, in which, he looks far more intimidating and heroic, and has a lot more detail in his face:

I have him displayed up high right now, so the silliness of his face is a bit hidden. Allows me to appreciate the statue so much more. They really hit it out of the park in all other regards. Grom is the only other Blizzard statue I have. I think Thrall is superior, though the armor on Grom is very impressive.

Maybe once she ends up on the fanatics.com site we'll get her on sale.
Speaking of, has anyone used the fanatics site recently? I tried, and my orders were accepted then immediately denied/refunded. None of their customer support phone numbers work either. Are they dead? I still get sale emails from them.....
