Weta Workshop
Underlining Legendary’s commitment to authenticity, the same company responsible for creating much of the armor and weaponry for the film, Weta Workshop, was commissioned to create a number of consumer items for Weta’s Warcraft collection. Now fans get the opportunity to pre-order signature collectibles including Alliance Armor figures and weapons, and a statue of the orc character Orgrim.
“Weta Workshop has brought to Warcraft an uncompromising passion for artistry and quality,” said Richard Taylor, CEO and Co-Founder of Weta Workshop. “For the team here, it’s been incredibly exciting to have helped make the world of Azeroth a reality, first through the creation of armor and weapons for the Alliance, and now through a range of quality collectables including jewelry, weapons, armor and figures made by the same artists who worked on the film.”
Jakks Pacific
