Warcraft fans can now pre-order a premium Tyrande Whisperwind statue, but this newly confirmed 2027 release is a collectible rather than a new game. Produced by HEX Collectibles and sold through Sideshow, the Hearthstone-inspired piece carries a $975 price tag and is expected to ship between January and March 2027.
What happened
The statue depicts Tyrande Whisperwind in the form used for her Signature card appearance in Hearthstone. It stands 24 inches tall and places the character on a rocky diorama base surrounded by twisting pine branches. Her spirit owl, Dori’thur, is included as a separate sculpted detail beside her.
A full-moon backdrop sits behind the figure and uses LED lighting, while additional lighting illuminates the eyes of both Tyrande and Dori’thur. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity, a unique number, and a handwritten identification mark. The statue measures 24 inches in height, 16.06 inches in width, and 11.92 inches in depth.
Pre-orders are currently available through Sideshow. Orders are limited to six statues per person, and delivery is not expected until the first quarter of 2027.
Why it matters
The announcement is notable because Warcraft merchandise at this scale remains a specialist purchase, especially at nearly $1,000 before any additional costs. The statue is aimed at collectors who value a highly detailed display piece rather than players looking for new interactive content.
Tyrande also has a long history across the franchise. She previously appeared in Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft, while this specific design draws from Hearthstone’s collectible card art. That connection gives the statue appeal across multiple parts of Blizzard’s universe instead of tying it solely to one game.
HEX Collectibles is better known for anime statues connected to properties such as Naruto and Dragon Ball, but the company has recently expanded into Warcraft products. The Tyrande figure signals an effort to bring the same premium-statue approach to Blizzard’s fantasy catalogue.
What to watch next
The immediate deadline for interested buyers is the pre-order window, while the larger question is whether HEX Collectibles will continue expanding its Warcraft line. The Tyrande statue is an expensive niche item, so its reception among collectors may help indicate whether other high-end Blizzard characters receive similar treatment.
The release also arrives during a period when fans are watching Blizzard for broader Warcraft news. World of Warcraft’s latest expansion, Midnight, launched earlier this year and has continued receiving updates. However, the statue should not be treated as evidence of a new Warcraft game; it fills a merchandise category rather than the software gap some fans are waiting to see addressed.
With BlizzCon approaching, attention will likely remain on what Blizzard plans for the future of the franchise. Until then, this is a confirmed premium collectible with a 2027 delivery window, not a new playable release.

Expert View
The headline-worthy price is likely to dominate discussion, but the more important distinction is what this announcement represents: Warcraft is receiving a serious collector’s item, not a major software reveal. For dedicated fans with the budget and display space, the lighting, sculpted companion, certificate, and Hearthstone design provide a strong premium package. For everyone else, it is best understood as a sign of Blizzard’s continuing merchandising reach rather than a substitute for the next Warcraft game.
