Blizzard Collectibles – Overwatch Widowmaker Statue

Posted on March 29, 2017 at 7:25 am by Joe Moore under Video Game Toy News

Blizzard has announced that they are bringing their collectibles lines in-house, and branding them as Blizzard Collectibles. They are launching with an all-new Overwatch – Widowmaker Statue. The statue is based on the fan favorite character from the Overwatch video game. It will stand at 13.5″ tall with a themed Overwatch logo base. The Widowmaker Statue is priced at $150. You can order it by Clicking Here.

In addition to the Widowmaker Statue, the new line is adding a few existing items that were previously released. We have received a press release for the launch of Blizzard Collectibles, which you can see by reading on.

Blizzard Entertainment Establishes High-End Collectibles Line

Blizzard Collectibles to feature premium pieces designed and produced directly by Blizzard

Gamers and collectors can set their sights on new statue of Overwatch®’s Widowmaker, available for preorder today at gear.blizzard.com/blizzard-collectibles

IRVINE, Calif. -With internationally acclaimed franchises such as World of Warcraft® and Overwatch®, Blizzard Entertainment is known for creating larger-than-life fantasy and sci-fi settings and characters that have been enjoyed by millions. The company is pleased to announce today the creation of Blizzard Collectibles, a new line of premium statues, replicas, and artwork designed and produced directly by Blizzard.

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. Browse the collection at gear.blizzard.com/blizzard-collectibles.

    This game is approaching the one year old mark, it is massively popular, and yet only one company (Figma) has stated they'll be making actual figures for it. This just boggles my mind.

    Well, why is the gun in the retracted form? That kind of sucks.

    Because it only enters full sniper mode when she zooms in? It is kinda weird that she isn't in a pose for it to be in sniper mode since pretty much all of her promotional images have it as a sniper. My guess is that they went with the automatic mode since that's how it is in-game when it's at rest (also how it appears in her emotes and victory poses).

    I don't think so. At Toy Fair Figma said that they're making Genji and Tracer but nothing was shown and there's been no news since. It's barely even an actual announcement so we'll have to wait and see what, if anything, happens. I'd be in for a Tracer (since it seems nobody else is making Overwatch figures) but personally I think Genji is an awful second choice. I think his design is plain/cliche and gameplay-wise he remains the most annoying hero to deal with. Maybe in Japan Genji is everybody's favorite so Figma's playing to their home market.

    I hope they reissue that Tracer statue, it's the nicest of them I think.

    Yep. No dedicated lines for WoW and Stacraft amazes me as well, two of the most popular video game franchises in history and their articulated action figure ranges are almost non-existent. 14 figures for WoW not including NECAs HotS figured. Less for Starcraft I think. NECa's Hots line covers it all but it's release rate leaves a lot to be desired, it's going to take ten years to complete the main cast of Starcraft at this rate.

    My fingers remain crossed that any new announcement from NECA will be Kerrigan in the HotS line. Raynor's supposed to be finally coming out but dammit we need Kerrigan too. As far as Protoss are concerned I would be fine with any of 'em but seriously Kerrigan is the one character from the game's trailer that we have yet to get. I'm also hoping they get to do a Tracer ASAP since she is also in HotS and a dedicated Overwatch line has yet to even be hinted at, just that Randy said they'd like to.

    Mine too, Kerrigan is an absolute must. Tracer too since she is basically the games mascot. Zeratul would be my pick for first protoss but I'll take anything they offer.
    It's interesting that they said they would like to do a dedicated Overwatch line, when I asked about dedicated Starcraft and Warcraft lines on Facebook they said they had no interest in that. though I guess a dedicated OVerwatch line would let them focus HotS on the other two IPs.

    lol forget about Diablo! I'm not sure who's on NECA's Facebook but I do believe Randy on Twitter has said he gave up on Facebook when it became constant complaining so now he's just on their Twitter account. For the Protoss I'd be fine with Zeratul, Tassadar, or Artanis they're all fine by me. With Overwatch I'd want Tracer (no duh), Widowmaker, Pharah, Reaper, Mercy, and Zenyatta for sure but I know I'd also likely get Junkrat, Roadhog, Sombra, D.Va, and maybe Winston since I like his character. I'm aware that's like half of the heroes but what can I say Blizzard nailed it. Admittedly Zenyatta would be difficult I imagine on account of all the floaty bits but he is my main so I had to throw him in there anyway.

    Oh right Diablo, I did forget. There's another IP that would benefit from a faster release schedule, we don't even have a player character from Diablo yet, and there are like 20 of those not including different genders from D3.

    I'd buy any Overwatch figure, they all have such nice designs, but I'd like Tracer first.

    Genji is a natural choice for figma really. If they had to do a male character, it'd be the stereotypical, "cool" cyborg ninja -- it's their safest bet at a male OW hero figma selling well. Also, Japanese. So.

    On the other hand, I have no fear that in a few years' time, GSC will round out the "waifu" sub-roster of heroes (ie, from Tracer to Widow to Mercy and everyone in-between; only excluding non-sexy women like Ana and Orisa).

    But if you:

    1) Can't wait an eternity
    2) want OW figures closer to the 7" scale of NECA HotS figures
    3) Want D.Va with articulated MEKA that doesn't cost north of 300$
    4) Are ok with unlicensed products with great paint job, great articulation, good sculpt, good accessory count and some mild QC issues mainly with joints

    ... you can check out Vanzo's 1:10 OW line. Widow is out, clocking at around 7". Prototype pictures for Tracer and D.Va with MEKA are also floating around.

    I have issues buying anything third party or unlicensed for various reasons. Regarding that unlicensed Widowmaker (or "black lily") though while actually rather impressive looking for a 3rd party product it doesn't nail everything, mainly they made her rifle way too damn big.

    Yeha, they gave her a flipping-bird hand for some odd reason, and I can kind of see that that guns are a bit out of scale, but seeing as it might take anywhere from 2 to 5 years for GSC to announce a Widow, and another 2 to make it, I can see why some people decided to bite the bullet and get her now.

    And you know figma's track record for video game figures: high in price and low in accessories. Maybe Blizzard can work with them to lower the licensing fees and speed up the slow production process. Not holding my breath though.

    The flipping bird hand is meant for Blizzard, y'know cause it's a knockoff figure and all.

    That's why I wish an American toy company (hint NECA hint whom Blizzard is already work with for HotS and they did Diablo 3) would get Overwatch because each figure would only be ~$20 in a 6 or 7" scale. I haven't gotten anything from any Japanese import company because of how expensive they are for their size, though I am considering getting Figma's Pyramid Head because nobody else has done Silent Hill and unlike Overwatch it is not popular enough for people to just now decide to hop on board.

    NECA Overwatch figs would be great. From what Randy has said it seems like Blizzard is just not giving them the license for some reason.

    Ana is pretty hot tbh, you're forgetting her oldschool skin but I'm totally into older Ana too. Older women can be hot too! Though she does wear a thick coat and hijab so I can see your point.

    NECA has already said several times that they've asked Blizzard about doing Overwatch figures, and Blizzard just doesn't want to.

    The problem with NECA figures is that they are collectibles rather than toys, and OW already has some collectibles. They might want to go for something more "Toy" like.

    All Overwatch has are statues and Pops (I loathe Pops). While NECA toys aren't suitable for children they'd be 100% better than what we have now which is nothing. Just because they're aimed at collectors doesn't mean NECA doesn't make toys.

    They could still do HotS versions though, as they have that license already.

    I don't think so, even with the HotS-license they are dictated by Blizzard which characters they can and can't do, so if they don't want them to make Overwatch figures they probably don't want them to do the Overwatch characters from HotS either.

    Which is a shame honestly, I don't think I would buy anything NECA puts out but I don't see those selling badly either. Well made figures for 20 bucks? Considering how popular Overwatch is I can't imagine this being a financial failure for any party involved.

    I think NECA's also recently said that the last wave of HotS figures they're doing are also the last Blizzard figures are doing at all.

    Really? That would be a huge disappointment.

    Edit: Yep they confirmed it on twitter a couple of weeks ago, damn. Sylvanas, Raynor and Thrall are the last figures. No murlocs or Diablo.
