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. Fans got 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

Jakks Pacific showcased a broad range of figures and role play items, giving BlizzCon fans a chance to view them ahead of their official launch at Toys “R” Us in March 2016. “Jakks Pacific is thrilled to be partnering with Legendary to help bring these iconic characters to life,” said John Blaney, EVP of Marketing at Jakks Pacific. “Our team worked closely with the filmmakers to create highly detailed figures and role play items for fans to collect. We were thrilled to debut the line to the most passionate Warcraft fans at BlizzCon 2015.”

3D Systems made all 4 statues from their Warcraft character collection available for pre-order at BlizzCon 2015 including: Lothar, Durotan, Gul’dan and Orgrim. Additionally, Funko debuted concepts for their upcoming line which will be available in April 2016 just ahead of the film’s release.

Insight Editions/Titan Publishing

Continuing their tradition of granting fans immersive behind-the-scenes access to their films, Legendary again partnered with Insight Editions to showcase sample pages from the forthcoming art book, Warcraft: Behind the Dark Portal. The book offers fans a comprehensive look at the making of the Warcraft film, featuring amazing concept art and exclusive cast and crew interviews.

J!NX/ RockLove Jewelry

Also on display were T-shirts from J!NX, and new Warcraft designs from RockLove Jewelry. “Warcraft’s world is rich with mystery and drama,” said Allison Hourcade, President of RockLove. “I’m spoiled for inspiration! With the debut of the Doomhammer Necklace and other first-look jewelry designs, my hope was to bring fans of all ages a little bit of wearable Warcraft magic.”

Maybang’s Collectibles

Maybang’s Collectibles presented Warcraft consumer electronics items for pre-order, including power banks and a phone docking station.
