Technology has now advanced
to the point where smooth, high-res graphics are the default:
yesterday's blocky, angular creations are scorned and driven away
with memory upgrades and options tweaks, that everything onscreen
might look as sleek and crisp as possible. But those chunky
block-constructions of yesteryear aren't forgotten completely. You
wouldn't want World of Warcraft, for instance, to look like it was
knocked together out of Mega Bloks – unless you'd just bought a
licensed WoW Mega Bloks set, in which case, yep, that's exactly what
you'd want.
First announced at BlizzCon (BlizzCon 2011: Mega Blocks Thrall figure),
Mega Bloks' WoW Season 1 Collection includes standalone faction
heroes, constructible mounts, and several large-size blocky tableaux
to allow fort-bound character battles between you and your (possibly imaginary) friends. Slated
for a Summer release, the Collection should theoretically allow for
compromises between WoW-addicted youth and their parents. Of course,
in practice they'll all be enshrined, unopened, on the toy-shelves of
well-heeled geeks – but we're sure they'll look very nice there
too.
