Turning a digital card into a physical collectible involves more than recreating a familiar character. The new Sylvanas Hearthstone statue embraces that challenge by incorporating visual elements from Blizzard’s card game into a detailed sculpture. Created by HEX Collectibles in collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment, this interpretation of the Banshee Queen is now available to pre-order through Sideshow.
The Sylvanas Hearthstone statue goes beyond character design
What makes this addition to the Warcraft statue line particularly interesting is its artistic inspiration. Rather than focusing exclusively on the character’s appearance in World of Warcraft, HEX Collectibles has chosen to recreate her Hearthstone card artwork.
Sylvanas appears ready to attack, pulling back her bow with an arrow positioned behind her shoulder. Her crimson hood contrasts with her light blonde hair and blue-gray complexion. Meanwhile, a flowing cloak and shoulder armor decorated with skulls reinforce her distinctive appearance.
However, some of the most interesting details are found beneath her feet. A golden dragon curves around one side of the pedestal, while a translucent mana crystal occupies the opposite end. Additionally, a nameplate identifies the character at the front.
These decorative choices give the sculpture its own identity. Instead of simply displaying a Warcraft character, collectors can showcase a physical interpretation of Hearthstone’s visual universe.
The Sylvanas Hearthstone statue changes under UV light
HEX Collectibles has incorporated two different lighting effects into its latest creation. Integrated LEDs give Sylvanas glowing red eyes, emphasizing the supernatural appearance of the Banshee Queen.
Furthermore, fluorescent paint applied to the pedestal produces a green glow when exposed to ultraviolet light. This feature introduces another way to appreciate the sculpture, especially for collectors who enjoy experimenting with lighting arrangements in their display cabinets.
Standing approximately 15.4 inches (39 centimeters) tall, including its base, the 1:6 scale statue also comes with a certificate of authenticity. Each certificate features an individual handwritten number, providing a personal identifying detail for every piece.
How much will collectors pay for the Banshee Queen?
Pre-orders are already available through the official Sideshow product page for $390, a price also reported by Game Rant.
Nevertheless, buyers will have to wait several months before shipments begin. Sideshow estimates that orders will ship between April and June 2027, although both pricing and estimated dates remain subject to change.
As with the recently announced Astarion statue from Baldur’s Gate 3, prospective buyers should consider their available display space alongside the financial commitment and waiting period.
Warcraft collectibles find inspiration beyond Azeroth’s MMORPG
Since her introduction in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Sylvanas Windrunner has appeared across several Blizzard games. Her presence in World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone makes her recognizable to audiences with different gaming preferences.
Moreover, HEX Collectibles has recently opened pre-orders for other sculptures inspired by Hearthstone, including a statue of Tyrande. This approach makes the card game’s artistic identity a central part of its Warcraft collectibles.
The announcement also arrives during a strong period for Blizzard’s fantasy franchise following the launch of World of Warcraft: Forever. While players continue discussing faction balance in WoW Forever, collectors have another opportunity to celebrate Azeroth away from their screens.
Ultimately, the Sylvanas Hearthstone statue demonstrates how digital card artwork can inspire a collectible with its own personality. Which Warcraft character would you like to see receive a similar treatment next?
