I started this to mention one product, but since Blizzard is ever-expanding their merchandising, may as well talk about whatever products are out there.

The one I just saw on the DirecTV feed was called "Hero Prints"   They're previewing the service at Blizzcon, and the website isn't up yet. What it will be is 27x48 posters of your character pulled from the armory.  The item they previewed looked a lot like the signature images you see with characters on it, but using a Stormwind canal district background shot instead of "Here are my uber stats/ guild"   The company rep said they were selling for about $25 apiece.   

Seems like a brilliant alternative to the figure prints so many people like but aren't willing to drop $130 on.

Are they using in-game models for the look, or do they get a few more 'polys' in the print?

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

The feed's only ~600x800 so I couldn't tell precisely but I think it's just in-game models with bloom, etc.  Looked about like what you see in the model viewers vs in-game.

No WoW-branded flamethrowers?  Not interested.
