New Thrall statue... doesn't make sense

[Forums-moon-guard]

Don’t think about quality or content, buy!
Things aren’t bad right now, ignore that, buy!
Remember your feelings about Epic Faction? Isn’t Epic Faction epic? Buy!
Purchase knick-knacks, it makes you happy, buy! Consoom!

That’s Blizzard’s new company slogan: DON’T THINK JUST BUY

[Forums-moon-guard]

NO THINK BUY NOW
And buyers with AAA IM CONSOOMING

FWIW theyre all made unpainted. then get sent do whoever is doing the hand painting so i dont think the per-unit cost is higher

Also… I’m sure BOTH versions are like this.

This is correct. The description is identical on both versions.

Because they copy-pasted it.

The unpainted version even includes the bit about “This is a hand painted statue, final color may vary from shown images”.

@Valorath-wyrmrest-accord

Itll end up as crappily made as the Jaina one which was just as expensive. If anyone saw how those were sent out, that crap ain’t worh $25 much less $600.

Oh MAN I cannot wait for the regret threads with hilarious pictures.

We’re already getting some good ones out of his thousand-yard stare.

This isn’t your 3D printer plastic nor will a 3D printer produce this level of detail.

I’m not convinced of that. Even “hobbyist” 3D printers in the $1-5k range can make prints with INSANE amounts of details. Things go up exponentially when you get in the $10k range (which I would still consider a hobbyist could afford).

I’m not denying the Blizz stuff is made on a $100k commercial printer, but my guess is those printers have much more do to with QUANTITY than quality.

An entry hobbyist 3D printer will make an amazing statue… but it’ll take 3 days. My guess is the Blizz printer spits these out in 90mins. That’s what you’re paying for. A commercial printer can also do it in 1 piece, the hobbyist printers have to be done in many different pieces.

But from what I’ve seen on YT, a $5k printer can blow your mind with its level of detail.

300 dollar SLA printer can have this level of detail.

Not my photo but this was printed on the 250 dollar (CAD) ~ 190USD SLA printer. Bigger printing area will cost more of course, but the printer that can print that status will cost not more than one grand.
