This is the deluxe collectible action figure, the demon-lord Illidan, in the World of Warcraft storyline. Those who are familiar with the Burning Crusade expansion will be very familiar with this character and his place in the game lore. In a nutshell, he is a former Night Elf that was so consumed with power that he betrayed his own kind (all of Azeroth really), became a sorceror, and now terrorizes Outland from his evil dwelling called the Black Temple. As for the figure itself, it is on par with the best models in the WoW collector line. The quality of the sculpt is great, and I was surprised by the ability to manipulate a few points of articulation: the head and fist weapons.
First of all, this figure has an included base, and even though it is a plain black dial, with no special features, it makes the model very sturdy for display purposes. 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 true on many of the line, but it appears that DC Limited has taken note of this complaint and provided a good base to prevent tipping. Though I would like to see some improvements now on the base itself, perhaps taking a page from McFarlane or other companies that make collectible action figures, and add some detail to the base to improve the overall display. However, simply including a base 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.
You will need to attach his wings when removed from the box, but the fit was perfect and it simply looks amazing when displayed. I tested the fit by ‘shaking’ the figure after attaching the wings, and they stayed perfectly in place. His fist weapons can also be removed, or ‘folded out’ for a different look. This, and a head that can be turned, were surprises for me. Creating a few points of articulation is a great addition to the figures, and I hope the trend continues.
If you are an avid fan of World of Warcraft, I highly recommend this figure to remind you of the great adventures you have in the computer game. If you are just an avid collector of quality fantasy figures, World of Warcraft player or not, this would be a great addition to your collection. And finally, if you are a collector of the WoW action figures, this is a must have for the series.

This is a great figure hands down, everything on this figure is a great detail and just plain freakin sweet. But for those who are kinda picky on stuff the wings and his weapons can easy fall off if you are not paying attention. Example moving the figure quickly around. Other than that if you are a big wow fan and love stuff like this then its a must buy. Please note this is a figure not a toy so not made for little kids

This WoW figurine is highly detailed, especially the wings. The Illidan figure is a deluxe version and stands taller than the others in the collection. Very cool!

Pretty awesome Illidan Stormrage action figure; my favorite Hero from Warcraft 3 where he was the most powerful hero in the game. This is a WOW:TBC figure but I bought it cos he’s better rendered in WOW than W3 for obvious reasons.
The quality of the figure is awesome, The wings look superb and make this figure a collectible not just for Illidan fans but also for people you like collecting action figures. I wish the base was a little better and more creative. Right now it is a simple plastic generic base. I wish they made it better with his name on it and some design features to complement his figure which is more like a statue.
Another suggestion, I wish they infused radium in the figure to make him glow in the dark … that would look S-W-E-E-T
“Betrayer… In truth, it was I who was betrayed. Still, I am hunted. Still, I am hated. Now, my blind eyes can see what others cannot. That sometimes the hand of fate must be forced! Now go forth… unleash the tides of Doom… Upon all those… Who would oppose us.”

PS: I have bought the non-Demon form and his T-Shirt from JINX as well … I wish there are more Illidan collectibles!!!
