The Blizzard Collectibles line launches with multiple existing
pieces, including the Hearthstone® Collectible Keepsake Box,
Grommash Hellscream and Illidan Stormrage from the Warcraft
universe, and statues of Overwatch’s Tracer and Reaper. The next
exciting addition to this line also comes from the cast of
Overwatch—starting today, players can preorder the imposing
Widowmaker statue for $150 USD at
gear.blizzard.com/blizzard-collectibles. Standing 13.5 inches tall,
this cold-hearted assassin is designed and sculpted by artists on
Blizzard’s Overwatch team, and will make a fearsome addition to any
collection.
“We tend to go all-in when it comes to representing the things
we’re passionate about in our work, and that’s exactly what we’re
doing with this new line of high-end statues, replicas, and
artwork,” said Matthew Beecher, vice president of global consumer
products at Blizzard Entertainment. “Our goal with Blizzard
Collectibles is to produce pieces of art that capture the
personality of our games, and we’re excited to share these premium
items with gamers and collectors worldwide.”
More Blizzard Collectibles releases are planned for 2017;
additional details on these will be revealed at a later date.
