And I’m one of them, somehow. Cute isn’t it? Bigshot Toyworks has finished developing the StarCraft II “Raynor” figure, which will be the first in a fresh line of “n00bz”, a new series of customizable and collectible Blizzard Entertainment-inspired designer vinyl toys. Standing 6.25 inches tall, the Raynor is rocking his signature StarCraft II battle suit, nine points of articulation, a BlizzCon ‘09 shoulder mark, Easter-egg Horde and Diablo III symbols, a four-color collector’s edition box, and an excellently huge Gauss rifle accessory.

The lil’ Raynor, which is the first figure in the “n00bz” series, and will only be available in this year’s goody bag! Available for sale at BlizzCon will be three other designs of “n00bz” figures, from the winners of a world-wide contest by Blizzard Entertainment. In April, Blizzard invited their employees to take home blank n00bz and customize them with their own Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo themed artwork.

Over 250 entries later, Blizzard nominated three implausible designs! The results will be offered for sale in limited quantities at BlizzCon ’09. Blank “n00bz” will also be available for anyone who wants to try their hand at creating their own custom figure! CLICK THROUGH for much more info!

The first three production “n00bz”, besides James ‘Jim’ Raynor, are: “Fury of Ragnaros” by John Butkus (World of WarCraft Team), “Ghoulash” by Oliver Chipping (Diablo III Team), and “Murloc Madness” by Julian Lefvebre (Diablo III Team). These figures will be available for $30 each during BlizzCon. I guess Blizzard’s starting its steam roller to leech your innocent soul’s moneh for the collection items. But I just don’t care, golden boy here I come! w00t!
