What is World of Warcraft® Minis?
World of Warcraft Minis gives fans the excitement of the online experience in a fun, fast-paced game that features the highest-quality miniatures ever produced in the industry. Players use figures and terrain pieces to simulate battles in all types of settings and scenarios reminiscent of the vibrant world of Azeroth. You can play a single character or take control of an entire party of brave adventurers, giving you an endless assortment of gameplay possibilities!

What sets World of Warcraft Minis apart from other miniatures games?
World of Warcraft Minis combines the quality you’ve come to expect from World of Warcraft with the cutting-edge gameplay that has made Upper Deck Entertainment a leader in the gaming industry. The figures are dynamic sculpts featuring high-quality paint detailing by industry heavyweight Mike McVey and Studio McVey. World of Warcraft Minis figures have a level of detail that's unmatched by any other product on the market. Add in an exciting, innovative game engine and a uniquely engineered miniatures base (check back here for more info on this), and you have a product that will redefine the meaning of quality in the miniatures gaming industry.

To what scale are the World of Warcraft miniatures designed?
All of our miniatures are designed on a 40mm scale, which is larger than other top collectible miniatures games. That means World of Warcraft miniatures can hold more detail and literally tower over the competition!

What factions and characters will I be able to play?
You can build parties from the Alliance, Horde, and Monster factions. You'll have access to iconic characters such as Warchief Thrall, High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind, and Archmage Arugal, all brought to life in beautiful palm-size masterpieces.

What types of gameplay will World of Warcraft Minis offer?
The exciting game engine will allow for all the experiences that appeal to miniatures enthusiasts and World of Warcraft fans alike. You can assemble a party of anywhere from one to five characters, all drawn from the classes and races of the MMO. Once you've built your party, you can engage in one-on-one battles, or you can team up with friends for full-blown melees. You can customize your Action Bar with a wide variety of abilities from the MMO. The Onyxia Raid Set will also allow you to play solo or cooperatively against either a player-controlled Onyxia or an automated version of the black dragon.

What products will be available at launch?
You will be able to buy a fixed two-player Starter Set and booster packs.

Each booster pack will contain three random figures. All three figures will be from the same randomly selected faction (Alliance, Horde, or Monster).

Starter Sets will contain four fixed miniatures, two Horde and two Alliance, dice, character cards, customizable action bar cards, six UBase™ miniature bases, one two-sided map, six dice, one rulebook, and a checklist of Core Set miniatures.

What other products will be available for World of Warcraft Minis?
Soon after the initial launch, we will release a Deluxe Edition (more details to come). We will also be launching a line of Raid sets that will give you the chance to relive exciting moments from the World of Warcraft MMORPG, as well as including great-looking sculpts of the fearsome bosses!

Will any of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game promotions be included in the Miniatures game?
Players will receive a UDE Points card in each booster pack. Each UDE Points card will represent a Trade Good usable to craft exclusive promos, just like the TCG’s Crafting Redemption Program. World of Warcraft TCG preview cards, including the popular Loot™ cards that allow you to cosmetically upgrade your online character, will also be randomly inserted into Miniatures Booster Packs.

How much will World of Warcraft Minis cost?
Starter Sets will sell for $24.99 MSRP, and booster packs will sell for $14.99.
