Just ordered this based on your video! I was to-ing and fro-ing about whether she was worth it, even as a massive Sylvanas fan, but seeing all the detail and the sheer size of her really helped me make up my mind! I really appreciate your videos! You should totally have more subscribers!!
Just an FYI for people setting her up. Instructions for the strap are kinda vague. I initially thought it went around her waist, but it's actually the quiver strap and it goes from the side of the cape across her chest to a notch hidden underneath her right shoulder armor. If you assemble her by the instructions that's not super obvious. For the arrow I first tried to slide the narrow part just behind the fletching down between her fingers starting at the fingertips. That doesn't work, at least not well, and I think that may be how some people are breaking the arrow. Instead, take the rear tip of the arrow and push it straight through the gap between her fingers where it should sit. The gap is a bit wider down at the bottom of her fingers and the piece on the back of the arrow should slip right through. I then laid the spare arrows near her right foot just for some added detail to the base. Overall it really is a great piece. Highly recommended.
It shows companies like Sideshow and others can produce statues in the $500 or less range in the 1/4 scale, but they don't. Well, they used to. I remember buying a Dead Space Isaac Clarke statue for $274 back in 2013, 16", polystone. Can't get that anymore. While I would argue companies like Prime 1 do go above and beyond, and most of their statues meet its value at around $1,000. Sylvannas is polyresin, too. Paint application is pretty darn good.
I completely agree the prices have definitely deterred me from buying pieces that I love. It makes it even harder to justify when they mass produce so many of them. for example, the Wolverine vs Hulk is nearly $700 but they made 6000 of them
Congrats Calvin I’ve always enjoyed your reviews👍🏽 hopefully you will gain some serious accolades now bro. It does take a lot of time and effort to put quality videos together. Keep up the good work✌🏽
wholly crap you wrote this response 6 month ago. I;m so sorry. I usually respond quickly to comments. I truly overlooked this for some reason. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. and congrats on an amazong piece.
I do agree with you. I thought about taking a high-quality picture of the box and framing it to display with the statue, thanks for checking out the video!!!
Oof..wasn't sure about taking a $350 hit at this time of the year...that and I have a Transformers addiction...but think you just sold me. Played WoW since launch, always loved this character and always missed the chance to get the other statues. Thanks for the great review!
i overlooked your post some how. thanks for checking out the video. wow do you love the piece. I'm still super in love with it. one of my favortie statues. and I don't even play the game. :-)
Hello buddy of the same name ! The symbol on the side of the box you can see (you guess the symbol of the Horde right) is the emblem of the Forsaken, Sylvanas' people or "race" if you'd prefer. Her bow is named Deathwhisper. Good video, I'd love ot have that statue for myself. I'm still impressed how TALL it is !
Just got mine and she is gorgeous, had no problems with her assembly but there were 2 problems. Both had to do with her head, first the paint application was not as clean on mine, she has slight hair paint on the corner of he left eye and the gold trimming on her hood is not done very well... Her head does not seat perfectly into her body, I've put in some good force to push it down but there is a slight gap. Seems her head job was rushed, bit disappointing but love the statue nonetheless.
Hey Calvin! I wanted to follow up with you regarding Sylvanas' bow. Did you string on your bow get really loose? I was making room for some new pieces and noticed the bowstring was dangling. Same thing happened with my Breath of the Wild Link by First4Figures come to think of it.
Great video. I need to watch your Illidan one next. Are you planning on getting the Diablo IV Lillith statue when it comes out? Not sure why its $150 more than the other 3 but it goes on sale from time to time. I got mine locked in at $400 shipped w/ tax. Hope you're well during this chaotic time.
Freedom Gear Reviews thanks for checking out the video👊🏾 yes I order the DiabloIV it was on sales for 150 off last week or the week before. I was able to get it at $350 but it’s back at 499. But I originally ordered it at 499 but when I saw the sale I chatted with customer service and they refunded the $150 so keep an eye out to see if it goes on sale again.👍🏾
Mine fit into the base perfectly and it was her head that didn't sit right for me. It's not incredibly easy to notice unless you're looking closely at her neck though, and I had the same issue trying to take her head off to see if it went in crooked--it wouldn't budge. I just left it as is. I didn't have too much of an issue with the arrows and I left my spares in the box for safe keeping. Great video. She's always been my favorite Warcraft character.
Vincent N thanks for checking out the review... even though there were those issues for me I love this piece a will definitely keep her. Got a tip from Jorge at MCE to use hair dryer to remove her from base, and it work perfectly.
man you asked me this over a week ago. not sure how i missed your comment. Thanks for the sub and watching. the lights are some inexpensive strip lites i bought from Lowes. they come with a remote control and and can change colors. if i had t do it over i would get smart hue lights, but this works for now
@@STATUEFANATIC Thank you for the reply. I tried to do a hue set-up, but Philip's doesn't make it easy to cut the led strips, and use them again. Have to get third party parts.
Can't believe Blizzard still haven't started a shop for ppl in europe.. The shipping to europe is insane, close to the worth of the statue itself xD And then don't forget the fkn import fees. I was lucky enough to get Illidan without having to pay shipping at all (unbelievable i know) but otherwise the price would just be ridiculous.
yeah, that suck. I'm wondering if you would get a better deal on eBay. and please forgive me for responding so late. I truly did not see your response. I'm usually really good at responding. I know there are millions of videos on youtube and for someone to stop, watch one of mine, and then comment. for me, that is amazing thank you.
Really want the Illidan statue but so afraid that it would break during shipping been holding off on it ever since. Anyway great review love what you, you do you brother.
He thanks for checking out the review and as of 1/2/2020 she is still available for sale at blizzard www.blizzardgearstore.com/games/world-of-warcraft/sylvanas-world-of-warcraft-18-premium-statue/o-65509175+t-54507960+p-25274311+z-8-1100787880?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r0c2:po-2
It takes effort to make good statue “reviews”? It is my belief that it only takes a statue and a phone. Made me scoff when I learned that awards are given out for that.
Her bow is called Deathwhisper. Thank you for the review of the new statue! It looks awesome.

Blizzard needs to make an art print of the face of sylvanas on that box
I do agree with you. I thought about taking a high-quality picture of the box and framing it to display with the statue, thanks for checking out the video!!!
Oof..wasn't sure about taking a $350 hit at this time of the year...that and I have a Transformers addiction...but think you just sold me. Played WoW since launch, always loved this character and always missed the chance to get the other statues. Thanks for the great review!
Mandalore2280 I so think it's worth it. I wish some of the other companies would follow suit with pricing

Ah man sorry, but it is a great piece, maybe contacting them for a replacement, I know by have been good at replacing pieces in the past,
Ηello ! The statue is beautiful with nice colours and very detailed !
Thinking of adding this one to my collection. I'm not a wow fan though. It's a really nice size.

+Brian Tubbs it's not glowing it's the changing lights that gives it that appearance thanks for checking out the review
warchief bow lol
Kafurry thanks man 😀
Bro just a suggestion, more take on the statue rather than talking
xu dong thanks for the feedback, and taking the time to watch and comment 👊🏾
