Worldwide shipping is available and the box weighs 27 pounds. Insurance will be included in shipping due to the size and value of the product.

The Blizzard-employees-exclusive World of Warcraft 2002 L-Silk Shirt is listed with a Buy it Now button for $429.

The bottom of the shirt reads Blizzard Entertainment and also has the artist’s signature. Justin Thavirat was a World of Warcraft (2004) lead artist and credited as an artist in StarCraft (1998), Diablo (1996), and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (1995) and their collective expansions. Justin also got a special thanks credit in the South Park (TV Series) Episode: Make Love, Not Warcraft (2006).

Treat the shirt as a piece of artwork rather than as something to wear. Frame it.

The BlizzCon 2008 Sideshow Lich King Helm is listed for $219.97 as a Buy it Now. These were never sold directly by Sideshow Collectibles. These were produced for the BlizzCon 2008 Store at the Anaheim Convention Center. From what I have seen, these helms are similar in size to the Deathling, and fit on your hand and weigh like an apple.

The helm can be dismounted from its display stand.

This Blizzard Employee-Exclusive Diablo III Treasure Goblin statue was originally gifted by Blizzard during the 2012 Holiday Season. This item is very popular on eBay with only 4200 created. It has a Buy it Now price of $349 and ends on March 24, 2014 at 11:21pm PDT.

It is made of metal, 10-inches high, and contains two heads: with and without Santa Claus hat. Sculpted by Blizzard Entertainment Sculpting Lead Brian Fay (former McFarlane Toys sculptor). The item is listed as never opened. This is an old photo for reference purposes.

Absolutely a highly-sought statue for any decent self-proclaimed Diablo III fan and collector.
