World of Warcraftjust revealed a new Alexstrasza statue in honor of theDragonflightexpansion. This immaculateWorld of Warcraftcollectible is available for pre-order on the Blizzard Gear store.
The Dragon Queen Alexstrasza is the leader of the red dragonflight. A beacon of compassion and life, she is often referred to as the heart of dragonkind. Alexstrasza is featured prominently in thepromotional material forDragonflight, including key art and cinematics, and will play a major role in theWorld of Warcraftexpansion.

Now,World of Warcraftcollectorscan get their very own Alexstrasza to guard their shelves and cases. This 20-inch statue weighs just under 15 pounds and is made of polyresin and PVC. The officially-licensed statue is made directly by Blizzard artists–it is sculpted by Brian Fay based on Alexstrasza’s newDragonflightmodel made by Natacha Nielsen and hand-painted by Lewis Villamar. Though the statue is available for pre-order now, it is not expected to ship until September 2023.
The new Alexstrasza statue doesn’t come cheap: the collectible statue costs $900 before tax and shipping. This earns the new statue its place as the fourth most expensive item on the Blizzard Gear store. Only the Lich King Arthas and Reinhardt statues, each costing $1,100, and theWorld of WarcraftFrostmourne premium replicaat $1,500, are more expensive than the newest Blizzard collectible.
Players were stunned by the quality of the new Alexstrasza statue. The absurd level of quality found in the sculpture is beyond measure, and the detailing of her armor, hair, and face truly brings the Dragon Queen to life. ManyWorld of Warcraftfans were especially charmed by the baby dragons, flowers, and detailed dragon eggs found on the base of the Alexstrasza statue.
ManyWorld of Warcraftfans were taken aback by the price of the new statue, however. The Illidan, Sylvanas, and Jaina statues are roughly the same size and appear to be about the same quality, but cost $300 less than Alexstrasza. This is presumably because she is relevant to current content and her base comes with more detail than the others.
For a fair bit less than the new statue, players can seeAlexstrasza in all her glory inDragonflight. Once the expansion releases in a couple of weeks, players can help Alexstrasza renew the Dragon Isles and restore the Aspects to their former glory. If players are especially charmed with the regal Dragon Queen, they will have time to save up money to buy her fantastic statue before it releases next year.
World of Warcraftis available on PC.Dragonflightlaunches on November 28.
