WoW has gotten so big, it’s even created peripheral cottage industries that use content from the game. People spend months now creating movies filmed entirely within the confines of the game. They make fake commercials. They make music videos. And now, someone has figured out how to make statues of your character.

FigurePrints takes the information gleaned from Blizzard’s Armory application, creates a 3-D snapshot of the character, allows you to customize the gear and pose, and then sculpts a miniature figurine. From the screen to your desk, or shelf, or mantle. It’s an incredible melding of technology to take, what is really just a series of 1s and 0s, and make a physical representation of your character.

I stopped playing WoW a good bit ago, but I have to admit – it wouldn’t be so bad to have Macau sitting on my desk.

So in that spirit, if you’re still out there playing World of Warcraft, I give you this trailer for their current holiday – Brewfest.

Enjoy.
