Holy Crapxors! Okay, I got the opportunity to get my Figure Print.



When Figure Prints were announced, I thought it was crazy cool, a way to have some physical evidence to represent all that virtual time spent playing World of Warcraft...

Of course I stopped playing WoW months ago, and I haven't played regularly for some time. What can I say? I enjoyed the hell out of it, but I played it out and other pastimes beckoned. I am nowhere near as hardcore as many of my friends were (and still are), doing endless instancing or raids for all the 7334 lewt. Still I dutifully entered the Figure Prints monthly lottery, because that shit is cool.

Well my number came up, or however they do it, and I am totally getting it. Investing so much time as I have, I have a seriously strong attachment to my character, Vonnagan the Dire. For me the game was 85% solo, although I had some great dungeon party experiences. That's just how I preferred playing, walking the world and questing, grouping up for an occasional instance. So me and Von spent some serious time together exploring Azeroth. The thought of getting a figure of him is so outlandish, something no other game has ever offered at this level of custimization, that I've got to plunk down the gold.

Now before anyone checks out my Armory page and tells me how lame my gear is, dude I KNOW. I have him prepped for the Figure Print specifically in the gear that I feel most defined my character, not all generically epic'd out. Fenrus' Hide was my one of my first "rewards" from my first group instance in Shadowfang Keep. That was pretty early in the game's life cycle so at that time the game was blowing me away. Hunting down Fenris and getting his skin as a cape was too freakin' cool. The Robes of the Lich was one from another amazing instance in Razorfen Krall, probably one of the coolest dungeons of the game. My other gear I either made as a tailor or just liked the look of. Even tho I'm a warlock I always carried a sword and fought with a blade whenever I could survive it, plus a warlock with a sword looks neat. The point is I'm getting the figure of Vonnagan for how I remember him while having the most fun in the game.



PS-- when that thing finally show up (probably months from now) I'll post pics!!

PPS-- yeah, I will be hopping into Wrath of the Litch King. Gotta try out the Death Knight.

PPPS-- for those interested, I used to chronicle some of my WoW adventures elsewhere.
