I definitely wouldn’t consider this a toy; as it is an energy drink. Very whimsical and perfect for an active gamer! Beautifully displayed on the shelf at present moment. No desire to drink it as other reviews say its pretty gross. Overall, I was very pleased with the size of the product. Not too small and not too big. Very understandable how characters in World of Warcraft carry about 50+ of these little things!! )

The picture on amazon makes this object seem cool and awesome. When You Get It The Bottle Is Really Really Small And It Has A NASTY As Heck Taste No Like “Yuck!!” But To The Point It Makes You Sick!!

I bought one of these and one of the health potions for fun--was going on a trip to meet up with some friends who would appreciate such items. Here's what we all pretty much agreed on:

Visual: Small but very attractive packaging. Pretty much exactly what you might think a mana potion would look like in real life. Smaller than expected--but then it more easily explains how your character in World of Warcraft, or 'toon, could carry 40 in one backpack.

Taste: Also explains why your 'toon refuses to drink another one for several minutes, even if it means dying. Dying is preferable as long as you still have the aftertaste. Think cough syrup, only without the benefit of alcohol or drugs. Very glad it came in 50ml bottles--one good sized swig and it's gone. After a short period of time, however, one starts to think it wasn't that bad. An appropriate support group could probably help with that mild problem.

Effects: Works as advertised. Taken at approximately 17 hours of wakefullness after less than 5 hours of sleep the night prior, allowed me to stay awake for an additional 5 hours while still being able to focus and perform. Able to fall asleep when desired. Awoke the next morning feeling fine with no adverse effects.

Active ingredients: Per their website, contains 25 calories per serving, includes Vitamin C (10% RDA), B1 (80% RDA), B3 (130% RDA), B5 (80% RDA), B6 (1600% RDA), B12 (6667% RDA--no, not a typo) as well as caffeine and enzymes. Caffeine content roughly equivalent to two Red Bulls or four cups of coffee.

Bottom line: Works well, but I would not recommend for children based upon the caffeine and very large dose of B12.

Well someone gave me a six pack of these for Christmas, and I didn’t have the courage/boredom to drink one until today in June. So if that shelf life alters my opinion any, I apologize.

But I take great amusement out of the package itself – buy it just for the cute prop that it is, if nothing else.

Taste? Well it is very cloying, and very honey-sweet, yet sour in a way that is not like the sourness of Red Bull. I took a sip or two, and then realized that you are probably supposed to quaff the entire thing at once. Someone in another review complained of aftertaste, but I don’t notice any myself.

The taste, while intensely unusual, was, to me, more interesting than bad. Take that as you will.

As to energy itself… well who knows? I mean, I don’t actually plan to cast anything today, but I guess I’m well prepared now!

This is a great 'toy' to display. Why do I say 'toy'? Because it's more of a statue, really. There's no real useful points of articulation to change the pose at all. But that's fine, in my book since they picked a pretty good pose.

His glaives are removeable. You have to have the base he comes with in order to stand him up properly due to the weight of his wings.

My only problem was that I expected him to be a bit larger. Even though it's a foot tall, most of that is the wings.

Over all, it's a great display piece and certainly great for the price. (If you get it at retail)

My brother collects game figures, and Illidan was a wonderful addition. He remains in his box, but he’s still one handsome angry demon. The proportions and detail are amazing. Another friend of mine bought him as well, and sits out of the box on his desk. He’s well balanced, even in different positions. To anyone bitten by the WoW-bug, he’s definately worth buying. :]

This figure, as well as the others in the series, are well cast and painted & look wonderful on display. They are geared more to the collector or Warcraft/World Of Warcraft player rather than a child’s toy, but it is still a wonderful piece of eye candy from the Warcraft cannon. The toy itself came quickly and the packaging was in mint condition with no dents or creases; Great for the collectors out there.

It’s just like in the picture. Not a whole lot to say, it’s exactly what you’d expect.

I have been collecting this collection since the first round. and I must say the female priest is my favorite so far. Eligantly adorned in white and gold vestments, all the chains, mace and tome. She is well equiped to smite, shadow word and heal! dispite her heels she is very sturdy and balances well on flat surfaces all of the parts stay well together. The war figures dont make ideal toys “much to my nephews dismay”, however they dont seem easily breakable.

Wonderfully made and perfect for the WoW player who has a female priest out there– I got it for someone who plays a Forsaken, as the priest is in shadowform and while it is meant to be human, it works just as well for a Forsaken. The packaging, while HUGE, really does protect the figure, and she is something you’d want to protect. My only quibble is that she really does need a stand, and a nice one, to properly display her.
