Lady Vashj - World of Warcraft Action Figure

I had been meaning to post this for a long time now but just kept forgetting to do it. But anyhow, this is Lady Vashj from my collection of Warcraft action figures.

Unlike Tamuura, Vashj is part of Warcraft's storyline. She was the chief handmaiden of Queen Azshara and was transformed into a naga when the queen and those loyal to her were cast to the sea during the Great Sundering. She also played a part in the war of the Lich King when she helped Illidan Stormrage but she was killed when adventurers invaded her lair, the Serpentine Cavern.

I think, the hero Medusa in DOTA was designed after Lady Vashj.

More pictures and descriptions after the break.


Lady Vashj is quite a big piece when fully assembled and somewhat heavy. Although she is holding her weapons, her overall countenance doesn't strike me as someone about to attack. More like someone just lowering her weapons after battle.



The details in her upper body is simply beautiful. I love her pauldrons, her armlets and who could miss that swirly design on her bodice?




Here is a closer look at Vashj's face. I still like Tamuura's expression more, though, but you gotta agree that Vashj's makeup is striking.




I'm not entirely satisfied with the snakes in Vashj's hair. They seem to lack shading and visual impact.


Lady Vashj's very ornate bow and arrow. It looks kinda corroded with the greenish tint.



A closer look at her tail armor. Very nice details.



More pictures of her face and upper body. At this angle, she looks like she's staring right into you.


Here's Vashj's sword. If that sword cuts you with those wicked edges, you're mincemeat.
